UV Movie Review: Padmavaat – Didn’t live up to its potential!


Team Udayavani, Jan 26, 2018, 6:51 PM IST

Watching a Bhansali movie is always a treat. Padmaavat promised to leave a mark on Bollywood with its lavish set, gorgeous costume, breath-taking visuals, larger than life characters and mesmerising music but if you remove all that, Padmaavat is your mediocre Bollywood movie with foot tapping dance number. 

This movie didn’t live up to its potential, a total waste of such fine actors and acting. When I say acting I mean brooding, delivering punch lines, looking gorgeous, flexing biceps and wielding swords. I started respecting Deepika as an actor after Ramleela, paired with Ranveer, this couple proved they are here to rule Bollywood but Padmaavat is going to disappoint fans of this couple. Shahid and Deepika had zero chemistry, however, Ranveer in this new avatar is going to blow your mind, he was born to play the role of flamboyant and power-hungry king, Alauddin Khilji. 

That being said, why didn’t I rate this movie as low as possible? Like I said earlier, Bhansali’s movies are a visual treat. You can hate them or you can love them but cannot deny the fact that his movies are a class apart and nobody can beat him in his own game. He is one of a kind filmmaker this industry needs who deserves appreciation for his work.

I’m reviewing this movie after 12 hrs and even now I can’t stop the background score playing in my head on a loop. That ending had me on the edge of my seat, it was the only saving grace of this sinking ship.

Rating: 2.5/5 stars
