I really liked Ranveer and Deepika's chemistry..they look hot and I honestly didn't expect that.
I don't think many of us had much doubts about how great Deepika was going to look in a SLB film. He ALWAYS makes his heroines look a certain way and from the stills/posters we kind of figured out that this should be similar to Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam/Devdas as opposed to a Saawariya or a Guzaarish. I don't think SLB's heros stand out as much as his heroines. SRK looked like SRK in Devdas..same for Salman in HDDCS. Ajay looked meh..Hrithik and Ranbir looked not so great in Guzaarish and Saawariya respectively..but Ranveer!!! - he blows you away here. Not to mention, this is the SAME guy who everyone couldn't stop calling fugly (be it for this same, exact look OR just in general). People were always more focused on Deepika considering her run this year, kind of still are even after the trailer (which I expected)..and that's great, because I'm no Deepika fan but I'll give her credit and say I'm impressed..but, Ranveer has his own screen presence and looks nothing less ( if not more?)
Oh and I can't see anyone else as Ram but him and this is going by that mere trailer. His dialogue delivery seems great, great screen presence, perfect hair, he's rocking that mustache/beard/body etc etc that 90% of people couldn't stop cringing over. And with all honesty, I thought he was the best part..because truthfully, I felt Deepika would've been the highlight of the trailer considering she's supposed to look a certain way and whatnot in SLB's "eternal love story." However, throughout the trailer..I was more focused on Ranveer..lets see, he's merely THREE films old ..yet he's on the right track and doing good work which is what this trailer depicts. Lets also not forget how Deepika has been around much longer than Ranveer and at this point she should've pulled up her socks and improved - which she has so good for her. However, Ranveer has so much potential and I just really hope this film does well for him because he's perhaps right up there in terms of being one of the best new talents in bollywood.
lol it's amazing how tables turn though..just yesterday some people couldn't still stop commenting on how they don't like Ranveer..they may not watch this film because of him even though they love Deepika etc etc..now, after seeing the trailer I see a lot of people reacting differently and I feel full credit to Ranveer. He has proved many wrong from a 3 minute promo..which is praiseworthy..and now I hope he starts getting his due as an actor.
So I stand by what I said..he's the best part about the trailer.
