Finally saw the visual extravaganza... Well Mr. Bhansali did not disappoint.. But saying that I must add that the movie has its shortcomings.. This is what happens when a persons creative freedom is taken away from him and he has to appease a certain political party... I believe a more crisp and tight movie could have been made had Bhansali had the chance to release his original movie...
But taking away nothing from the movie.. Each frame was like a master piece... A painting.. It was a visual treat.. But saying that the script could have been a little tighter... Just putting up a visual treat on the big screen doesn't mean it's a good movie, a good story and screenplay is equally important and Padmavati oops sorry Padmavat lacks in this department..
Shahid Kapoor was okay.. He actually was not fitting the part of a Rajput King.. Had Hrithik done it, I am sure the movie would have turned out much better... But Shahid did catch up in the second half and tried a lot and it was quiet evident..
Deepika was as usual BEAUTIFUL... She looked gorgeous on screen... She looked her part.. A Queen whose beauty is uncontested in the world... Kudos to Deepika for pulling off the role with ease...
Jim Sarbh was the surprise.. Portraying a character such as Khafur requires guts and he did it with ease... But saying so we should look out for this actor because he got some mean acting chops up his sleeves.. Aditi Rao Hydari was also good and essayed her role beautifully of Khilji's wife...
Ranveer Singh... You my man are AWESOME... You showed what it is meant by getting under the skin of a character and not letting it go even for a bit... Hats off for pulling off Allaudin Khilji with such menace... You my Man stole the show... Nobody, I mean nobody could have done it better than you... I see a lot of awards for you in the upcoming awards season..
All in all to sum it up.. The movie has its shortcomings, but its a much watch and should not be missed..
P.S. I still do not get what the hullabulloo was about the Jauhar scene.. It was her choice.. She chose her honour, the honour of her husband and the honour of her land instead of just surrendering herself to Khilji's whims.. She in the end defeated Khilji mentally which was even a bigger victory...
P.S.S. I also don't get why the Karni Sena was opposing the movie. It glorifies and embodies all the values that being a Rajput signifies. All the more they should endorse the movie more.
