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

With its lavish sets; catchy, narratively-driven songs; and powerhouse performances, Padmaavat is even greater than the sum of its already-commendable parts.

The Hollywood Reporter

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.

Just for Movie Freaks

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.

Rated: 2/5

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has wowed audiences and disconnected from them in equal measure...

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.

I was transported back to the 13th century. The soundtrack was fantastic. As an anglo saxon I didn't know enough about the era to be angry, but I understand the movie caused great anger in Pakistan.

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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
