When I walked out of the movie theatre screening Padmaavat, I was shaking in rage. Go to Full Review

With its lavish sets; catchy, narratively-driven songs; and powerhouse performances, Padmaavat is even greater than the sum of its already-commendable parts. Go to Full Review
Lisa Tsering The Hollywood Reporter 01/29/2018
Padmaavat's sumptuous palace interiors and classically inspired music lend elegance to the film without overpowering it - a welcome shift in tone from the director of the lavish but uneven Devdas and Saawariya. Go to Full Review

2/5
Overall, barring Ranveer Singh’s extraordinary performance, Padmaavat suffers from its unexciting storyline, poorly written screenplay and an exhausting runtime which conclusively made it a tedious watch. Go to Full Review

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has wowed audiences and disconnected from them in equal measure... Go to Full Review

I'm not sure whether to feel bad for or be critical of Bhansali. But here's the thing (hello Karni Sena, I am talking to you): your disappointment and disapproval of a film can coexist with the film itself. Go to Full Review

See more Scott B 11/12/2023 Terrible story - weak character development - good scenery and costumes and music. See more Lights-Camera-action � 11/26/2022 3.75/5✨ It's a true Art of the Artist Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Visually captivating, emotionally rich Cinematic Magnum Opus. The Actor were fit soo wonderfully in their respective characters. Deepika's queen avatar is really awardworthy. Ranveer Singh mastered the khilji role. And yess Sahid Kapoor is also brilliant. Apart from leads , this film has soo many strong supporting characters especially Aditi Rao are brilliant . But the minus points goes to the visual effects (eg. The cartoon Ostrich) & a little bit in the writing. And I think the direction also inferior to Bhansali's previous work Bajirao Mastani. See more 06/09/2022 A movie based on historic events and as expected, great set pieces, music, costumes and performances led by Deepika, Ranveer and Shahid. See more Read all reviews
