Yes absolutely! I was so perplexed when i watched Ram-Leela. Too much violence, gore, sex, kissing, attempted rape! I was like "I've had enough!" I didn't expect that at least from a director like Sanjay Leela Bhansali who gave us gems of a cinema like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas and Black. Even Saawariya and Guzaarish were not that bad even if they flopped at the box office. The romances in HDDCS and Devdas were heart felt and pure. Sadly, you barely feel that magic in Ram-Leela. All you get in the film is a flirty guy doing all the dirty talk with the girl and this time it's the girl who kisses the guy first and it's more of "lust" than "love" at first sight between the two. What happened to the magic man Bhansali that we knew. Why did he feel so pressurised to keep with today's trend that he went all out to promote this "cheap" little porn and I'm saying porn not a movie. How is one supposed to feel for these two "star-crossed" lovers when you cannot even feel their romance and the boundaries of their love for each other? Most of their romance was spoiled in the dirty talks about sex and kissing. The lead characters looked so confused in the second half that you feel like you watched totally different characters in the first half. The story was so badly executed. Bhansali only paid attention to the colors and splendid sets rather than the plot. And I find it so difficult to believe that even a megastar like Amitabh Bachchan has watched Ram-Leela thrice! Really? I couldn't even sit through this "torture" for the first time and he has watched it thrice! Hats off to him!
