The finished work itself is actually a stellar achievement, its raucous meta-narrative more than worthy of a spot in Bhansali’s visually splendid canon.
Whether viewers show up for the controversy or for the Bollywood star power of its charismatic leads, they should emerge impressed by its dazzling visuals and Bhansali’s masterfully composed and executed musical numbers.

This was one of the best movies that I have seen regarding Indian history. There is so much that is unknown to the common man about the events that have unfolded in the past. I liked the cinematography and thought that the director did a really good job of showing us life in medieval India. I think this movie showcases the atrocities that were faced by the Hindus at the hands of the Islamic invaders. It is still unbelievable to see how many Indians are not even aware of what their ancestors had to go through and the sacrifices they made for their religion, identity, and future. The actors, Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor, and others did an outstanding job in playing such challenging roles. The director keeps you engaged with Rajasthani folk music which gives you an experience of what Rajasthan is all about. I think such movies are very important for people to watch and understand how brutal their history was and yet, they still survived. There are many civilizations that have been wiped out by invaders, hut India still stands. I think some Indians have an inferiority complex because of hundreds of years of colonial rule and brainwashing. Indian people have been systematically brainwashed by colonial rule and some past governments in independent India. There seems to be a change that is happening in India and people are keen to learn their true history rather than the distorted one taught by the British, Mughals, Communists, etc. This is a very significant development that is taking place, but there are some sections of Indian society that are not content about Indians getting to know about their true history. Today, you are seeing Indians who are proud of their religion, country, and identity. Movies like Padmavat are a great way to tell stories of courage and sacrifices that Indians have made to keep their identity alive.

While it’s unfolding before us, it provides – whatever else the courts insist we call it – stirring, seductive spectacle.
Padmaavat is a rare work of pop art that is both powerful and repugnant.
When I walked out of the movie theatre screening Padmaavat, I was shaking in rage.
Mr. Bhansali is painting with a broad brush.
This is the only movie that made me cry hard like real hard! part of that may be because I myself am a Rajput but I think other times it was becasue of how the film is made. The climax scene in the film is the one that I will cherish till the day I die and remember the sacrifice of the Queen of Chittor.
Report
Like Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat has great visuals and fantastic songs but is dreadfully boring. Additionally, the movie is extremely Islamophobic. The only sympathetic Muslim character is Mehrunisa, Alauddin Khilji's wife, who is played by Aditi Rao Hydari. It's worth a one-time watch for the visuals, the songs, and for Ranveer Singh's award-worthy performance, which is the best one of his career so far. It will be hard for him to top his performance in this movie.

Totally fake history is this movie . A Muslim ruler is shown as villian . It's totally wrong . Bollywood should stop messing with history
