Hail to the Queen!!!
Watched Padmavati today... Yes, I am calling this movie Padmavati because this movie is not about a place or poem. It's about an extremely courageous woman - Queen Padmavati.
I am not a Rajput. But felt proud of this absolutely incredible woman and her story of heroism, courage and sacrifice...
Then I looked at what Karni Sena is doing in the name of Rajput and felt ashamed on behalf of true Rajputs who never harmed or threatened women or children.
I said it in my post, Home Grown Terror before and saying it again.
Karni Sena group are no valiant warrior defending Rajput honour. They are cowards who threaten women and throw stones at children.
This movie is clearly singing praises of Rajput honour and courage from beginning until end. But some people wanted to ban the movie before they had even seen the movie because someone somewhere said that this movie insults a legend which is laughable.
Raja Rawal Ratan Singh made me believe that some people were like him who were willing to risk their life for honour and who lived by their words.
Queen Padmavati and Meherunnisa, wife of Khilji made me believe that women, even silent, can fight harder battle and still keep on standing.
Khilji and Kafoor made me cringe every time they came on screen with their sadist, narcissistic nature. They were truly match made in hell by the Devil himself. I came out appreciating Ranveer's acting as much as I loathed Khilji.
Yes, editing could have been tighter and there was no need of Khalbali or Binte Din song. But every time Deepika came on screen, she was electrifying. I got goosebumps watching a group of strong women defeating Khilji and crushing his ego to dust. I wish there were more scenes of Deepika.
It would have been a crime to ban this movie. Because this is not only the story of Rajputana. This is the story of a strong women and what they can do when they put their mind to it.
Mr. Bhansali took a thankless task to bring this legend to life. It may not have been his best work, but it was certainly worth it in my book. I highly recommend everyone should watch it at least once. And please if you do watch it, watch it in movie theater so more directors make movies like this.
Mr. Bhansali and his team deserve their success after what they had to endure despite being a citizen of world's largest democracy.
