However, Bhansali offered Chopra a song with the changed lyrics, which she accepted. Deccan Chronicle published "Bhansali is known to approach more than one actor for any project.

The song received  acclaim from music critics, who praised the song and Trivedi's vocals, describing it as one of the highlights from the album. Rediff.com wrote "The album starts on a smash note with the title song Ram Chahe Leela, which gives the kind of kick-start that a high adrenaline love story that Ram-Leela warranted. A good fusion number that brings on Western elements into Indian folk and classical." Indo-Asian News Service gave a positive response to the song and praised Trivedi's vocals writing "Bhoomi Trivedi's rustic voice definitely suits the genre. It is an unusual item song, but the regional flavour adds to its magic." Koimoi  declared it as a "laudable product" noting "It takes a few hears to sync the latent beauty of the composition that uses singer Bhoomi Trivedi’s voice confidently. The hint of rock flavor works well when laid against the background of heavy background arrangement!" Yahoo! India described the song as  the highlight dance number, which adds to the narrative. The review also praised its fast-paced beats, musical arrangements ( fusion of Gujarati folk and western) and simple Hindi-English lyrics  and wrote that "Tridevi shows her class with an excellent rendition." Mumbai Mirror wrote "Bhoomi Trivedi is terrific in the racy, part-rock partfolk Ram Chaahe Leela. A mean bassline and taut drums are set against synth notes, while the chorus is cleverly styled as a Bhajanlike chant." The video received more than 18 million views after its release. The song has topped various charts across 
India. Currently, the full video song has over 126 million views on YouTube. Accolades
