Movie Review- PADMAAVAT

• 'PADMAAVAT'

Formerly and famously titled as 'PADMAAVATI'
It just did not make any sense by re-naming a film which was under the scanner for such a long time. Purposely even after prebooking the show tickets I was standing near to the box office to witness as to how the auidence would ask for the ticket. People asked for Padmavati tickets rather than Padmaavat. History does not change just by changing the name or editing few scenes.
I was wondering.. had there been not so many cuts and edits, movie would have a run time of 3:45minutes easily. So my question is- Where there any cuts ?

Getting back. Padmaavat as the disclaimer speaks is a work of fiction. I mean WoW. How foolish and stuoid can a disclaimer be.

Moving ahead.
I will first begin with Ranveer Singh. He has been outstanding throughout the movie. His character is pure monster. The character sketch of Allaunddin Khilji has been potrayed as the one to kill with his looks. He is a superstar for me and I am sure for many others as well.

After I heard that Shahid Kapoor was casted in the film I just couldn't see him fit in the Bhansali movie puzzle. He comes across as an outsider and I could not digest he being in the movie. Looked like an outcast. He has always been a fabulous actor but seriously underrated. I loved his acting and his dialogue deliver.

Deepika Padukone. Iam sorry but I have no words of praise for her. She has been consistent but not in the movie race but the kind of roles she has been doing recently. I really couldn't figure out difference between he character as Leela, Mastani and now Padmavati. He over expresses which after a point is difficult to bear.

Songs are below average. Ghoomar has a catchy edge over the rest. Movie is slow paced and haywire. By the time you settle into one the second scene has already begun.

The hype around the movie and the criticism and political interference will affect the box office business immensely. Adding to this the film has garnered mixed reviews which is catastrophic.

Finally I give 3 stars out of 5.
