"
PADMAAVAT " - The trio of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Deepika Padukone and
Ranveer Singh come together for their third movie together after Goliyon
ki Raasleela Ram Leela and Bajirao Mastani. Bhansali definitely knows
how to make period dramas with huge sets showing the grandeur and glory.
The calm and composed Shahid Kapoor seems to be a bit of a misfit as
the Rajput king, Raja Ratan Rawal Singh. He is overshadowed by the other
two characters. Deepika Padukone plays
Rani Padmavati to perfection. Though less screen presence, she is
pretty graceful throughout. Last comes the USP of the movie. Ranveer
Singh literally gets into the skin of Allauddin Khilji. He is wicked,
cunning, cruel, menacing and ambitious as the Sultan of Delhi. So much
so that you may feel that this movie could be named Allauddin Khilji
instead as his biopic. Jim Sarbh shows spark as Malik Gafur and Aditi
Rao Hydari has a small role.
Despite all the cuts and edits, this movie makes for a great watch and
is surely one of the best works of Bhansali and Indian cinema. This
movie has been made in 3D and is quite good. There are some interesting
exchange of words between Shaheed and Ranveer. But Ranveer gets the
creamiest dialogues. Padmaavat has been made for the awards and will do a
great deal to enhance Ranveer's career. This movie is all about Rajput
pride, valour, dignity and honour along with the glorification of
Allauddin Khilji.
