THAT ENDING. Wow. Ok, this wasn't as good as Bajirao Mastani, but OMG it was beautiful. The actors (mostly Ranveer and Deepika) were incredibly good. It was really nice to see him performing such a different and evil character, and Deepika... oh god, I just love watching strong (and gorgeous) female characters who really know how to express so much without speaking a single word. Thank you, Bhansali, once again.
Padmaavat - the movie that caused more drama off-screen than most films do on-screen!
Visually, this movie is GORGEOUS. Bhansali doesn't just make movies, he creates visual poems. Every frame looks like it could be hanging in an art gallery. The costumes are so elaborate and beautiful that you'll want to pause and just admire the details. The sets? Absolutely breathtaking.
The battle sequences are epic, the romantic moments are intense, and Ranveer Singh's performance as Khilji is so over-the-top that it's weirdly compelling. He plays the villain with such raw energy that you can't help but be mesmerized.
Is it historically accurate? Probably not. Is it a dramatic, visually stunning piece of cinema? Absolutely.
If you love grand historical epics, beautiful cinematography, and performances that are more intense than your last family drama, Padmaavat is totally your movie.
Rating: 4/5 - A visual spectacle that's part history, part legend, and completely dramatic.
Pro tip: Watch it on the biggest screen you can find. Trust me, you'll want to see those elaborate costumes and sets in all their glory!
Other than the exceptional acting from deeps, it had nothing else along with a regressive, sad message. So what went right? Nothing really.
