I found BM powerful movie. Definitely stretched for good 30 minutes but still it had heart at right place and all characters in the movie has given their heart and stand tall among all. You cannot single out a person who did good or bad.
Ranveer is revelation. Post his boyish act in Dil Dharkne Do, this was completely different role and he scores brownie points yet again. Just watch him for last 10 minutes and you can see Bajirao & Devdas together.
Deepika is just awesome, she perfectly portrays the complexity she gets thru, her eyes speak more. Love between him and Ranveer looks real but somehow that kills the excitement to see them because we know they are lovers in real life plus their steamy outing of Ramleela of same director is not very old.
Priyanka for me steals the movie. She has multi-layered role. She is bubbly at a times, she is like kid, a dotted wife and daughter in law. She gets chance to show her character on various scenes and shows talent beautifully. All including me thought PC may have made wrong selection of this role but after seeing movie your heart goes out for her. She goes from strength to strength. Her last scene with Ranveer in her room is just awesome. He literally overpowers Ranveer in those moments. Just awesome.
All rest supporting actors did wonderful, there was no weak acting anywhere. Story was stretched a bit too far as usual Bhansali style:) but sheer artistic presentation win over you. Sometimes you do not see actors in movie but you notice the set up, the sets, costume and colors.
SLB -you have made a proud movie, well done sir. Awaiting for more & more.
