Critics Rating: 4/5Cast: Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Shahid KapoorDirection: Sanjay Leela BhansaliDuration: 2 hours, 43 minutesLanguage: Hindi (U/A)Story: Alaudin Khilji (Ranveer), the face of evil from the Khalji dynasty is power-drunk and fond of all things exquisite (nayaab). When he hears that the Chittor Queen Rani Padmavati is breathtakingly beautiful he wants to `possess' her. Review: As far as history goes, I'm a novice on the actual chapter involving Rani Padmavati. Having said that as far as cinema goes, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is easily the best auteur-filmmaker in Bollywood. Tip: Padmaavat is definitely worth a watch, for its scale, story-telling and stellar performances from the lead.
