For passing IELTS i am just gonna listen to anupama's reviews☺
😂😂😂✔️✔️
😁😁😀😂
For IELTS, Rajeev Masand is better
Shashi Tharoor is the man
Just do the Hindu editorial everyday and u will be through........
It's ironic that a movie that glorified Rajputs it's very release protested by Rajputs ..
I wonder how come Muslims didn't protest
star quiz ah dude read up on the history .. khilji dynasty got a lot of converts to Muslim .. not to mention Mughals that came after
star quiz Do cry about freedom of speech if a movie is made on your religion. Let's see who has more balls to take critiques on themselves. :)
Deduct 1* from Befikre and add it to Padmaavat
rajeev gave it 3.5 and anupama 2.5. don't care I am watching it first day first show
Definitely I am also watching it but 2nd show in 3D in America lol
Don't give these jokers much importance, just watch it..
Bollywood Gupshup it's an epic movie overall ..I will give it a 4 stars
watched it yesterday, great movie and ranveer stole the show... even though the film is long ranveer does not let the movie down at any moment
Sandipan Mukherjee but I do appreciate rajeev masand
To be Frank....I prefer Sanjay leela bhansali's movies like black and guzaarish over historical dramas..... he can do much more like that instead of clinging to history.....if history is presented...the characters must have more complexities n layers to them rather than being complete black or complete white.....
I think...Reviews r not gonna affect this movie's box office result... Audience will watch it for many different reasons..
Agreed. They did
The only part I loved about this film is Alauddin Khilji and the beautiful setting and jewelry and costumes...Ranveer is at hos absolute best! well said, Anupama Chopra.. i absolutely agree with you...
Anyone here after Kalank Review?
More then a year and I still can't get over the fact she gave 3.5 stars to befikre!
Its YRF film 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
That movie deserve that! Let the time pass and that movie will be more appreciated. That movie was pretty fun.
i don't care about the reviews. I am watching this for Deepikas hard work and dignity.
Namjoons expensive girl I like that somebody mentioned dignity... It's much more than a word:A dignified life, not a life of sex slave
The biggest understanding required here is the fact that this movie is not about a 21st century women . It is an artist's impression of another artist's poem about a mythical ( or real) Queen . This movie never intended to tell u about the present day women !
From your entire review , what I make is that you went in with 'Wrong' expectations ! And as far as the Jauhar is concerned , it was a tad bit different from sati as sati was a compulsion whereas Jauhar was a choice the ladies made . They considered it 'honourable' to die than to be captured and enslaved by the enemy . It is not something Practical , from the perspective of this century . BUT it had always been a part of our Glorious Indian History .
Khilji according to 'most' of our history is considered to have been a barabric ruler . And when this movie happens to be about the Rajput Pride and Valour , it simultaneously demeans the opponent .
This is Padmavati's Story . We might not be used to Women centric films but this is a small step on that direction. The ending , if seen through the story teller's vision , was about the women taking up her choice !
Padmavati is a historical legend . PADMAAVAT is a retelling of that story. It doesn't promise to provide 'SOCIAL' changes . Maybe we can leave that to VVC & RKH ?😂 .
Well said👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is a better review than Anupama's
Well said
Befikre - 3.5*
Tiger Zinda Hai and Padmaavat - 2.5*
Well done Aunty...
Tejan Shrivastava TZH got average reviews from many other critics too.
NIPUN PUROHIT - Are you serious? TZH got very good response from most of the critics and audience word of mouth was really strong. That's why its still running to 70-80% capacity in Week 5. Its not just another typical Bollywood or Salman Khan film. It was a strong, plot driven action film. Do your research properly buddy.
Nitesh Panda - Shows what kind of mentality you have who thinks Befikre is ahead of its time and TZH didnt get good reviews. Befikre is the worst film made by a A listed director in a long time and TZH is the most positively reviewed and loved action film of all time. Keep your hatred to yourself and go watch many more shittier films like Befikre.
Tejan Shrivastava oh salman did world class movies like wanted ready dabbang and my fav.PRDP lol ofc dabbang 2 kick now TZH hats off to salman
Le Ximxim is this for me?
I understand your point, but even if you consider the technical aspects of the movie: cinematography, lighting, shots, costumes, background score, sound mixing and sound editing, the movie is far far better than the typical Bollywood movies some of which you rate as high as 3-3.5 stars. I used to respect your opinion as a true cinephile, but I don't think I will after this one. You can see the number of dislikes on the video to get an idea of what a majority of people think.
I totally agree 👍
She is hurt bcoz she loves muslims so much even though her husband is a Kashmiri pandit (we all know what happened to Kashmiri pandits in kashmir...)
"But movies are not paintings!" that is the bottomline for me when it comes to cinema of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Even paintings need to have a thought and need to say something profound but sadly Bhansali's films are a spectacle lacking substance. Your review sums up beautifully what I feel.
Lubhawani Yadav great to hear this from someone else ! always felt the same . spectacular frames but lack of connection to the characters
Yes. She nailed it.
HIS MOVIES ARE AMAZING!!!!!!
That's true
Bhansali is quite overrated
His best work is khamoshi and black
Jauhar was committed to save themselves from the brutality of the invaders. As we all know the ladies that remained in the fort after the war were usually used as sex slaves.So rajputs preferred to die with their head held high than become captives.
According to local folklore,Khilji couldn't enter the chittorgarh fort so he stopped all the supplies to it.
When the soldiers inside were completely devoid of food the opened the gates of the fort and just attacked on the army.Reason being the same,they could accept death during fighting rather than life as a prisoner.This was also the time when the last standing soldiers were giving up their lives on the battlefield the women committed jauhar,leaving behind just a dead fort.
Jauhar was not a glorious practice but it was a better option available to them.
Yes this is true it was more of a choice between a rock and a hard place. The women who became prisoners had a horrible life so jauhar even though it felt like a barbaric practice was better than dying everyday living life as a prisoner
I never expected this kind of honesty from you anupama .cant help but appreciate you
I wathced the movie...I am a Rajput..and I LOVED it. Usme aisa kuch bhi nahi hai jiske liye Rani Sa ka shaan pe koi bhi aanch aye. Bhaut hi badhiya thi movie & I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am ashamed of those goondas who are terrorizing people in the name of protecting the honor of Maharani..they are humiliating us all.
Ranveer was undoubtedly star because his role was multidirectional while Deepika and shahid were restricted to 'ideal image' which is reverse of karni sena. They compelled rajpoot image to ideal god like figure while khilji a roaring, ruthless monster. But khilji got advantage of not Endorsed ideal so he did whatever he wants. movie was little streched. Jauhar scene in end was too long. Perhaps trying to establish as goddess. Rajasthan, Delhi and middle East 's qabayal civilization presented perfectly. Some expression of movie were above dialogues.
Ranveer does it again! Few years back he did it in Gunday and now in Padmaavat. Completely overshadows his co-actors by his electric screen presence
Gunday was crass ... Overshadows you are definitely delusional.. even irfan couldn't save that movie
Keeshor Kumaar you mean Bajirao?
Overshadows????
bhai overshadow tab krta jab equal importance diya jata dono character ko...Shahid ke character ko importance nhi diya gya.....mauka barabari ka de ke toh dekho iss sal ke trah Ranveer ko har saal award kharidna pad jayega
Who cares if the film is good or not, i'll give watch the film just to give BJP a middle finger.
romain D that's ignorant
Its the only rational thing to do in an irrational environment.
Rationality is subjective man, humans are not that evolved to understand its complete meaning
I am watching it for Bhansali and Ranveer, how is it going to affect the Bjp in any way?
romain D B.J.P ko har jagah Ghused na jaruri hai kya..Apna movie dekhne ko National news mt banao..
Bajirao Mastani was really boring too, the over dramatic non sensical ending. Cant expect much from Sanjay other than nice sets. Still will watch when it releases on DVD for the two brilliant actors, Ranveer and Shahid.
S G finally a sensible comment about how good or how bad bhansali's movie are.
Or watching on its tv premiere.😂 me too never really a fan of bhansali's history centric movies.
THANK YOU! that ending of bajirao mastani just ruined the whole film for me. Ranveer slaying imaginary soldiers in the ocean and then dying cuz he went so mad...wtf it was so dumb
Didn't like bajirao ... Just a bad movie..
I think he was trying to give the story a Laylaa-Majnoon type of ending where both lovers dying at the same time .
That fight scene was metaphorical to his battle against time at that point.Just perceive it as art.
It is actually a common elements in story of star-crossed lovers especially in Sindhi/Punjabi love stories.
Anupama Chopra: 2.5/5
Rajeev Masand: 3.5/5
Taran adarsh gave this 4.5/5 , Guys just go out and watch it, its just different opinions from everyone, as long as one enjoys it , thats what matters, I personally think this is 4+
Aditi would’ve worked better casted as Padmavati. No offense but kinda tired of seeing Deepika taking the lead roles. It just looks repetitive movie after movie ..
Aditi ????
Ujjwal Bharadwaj...... Aditi of Murder 3.
Spring Giddinessify My thoughts exaxtly.
Aditi was amazing.
That's true.aditi is best actress. But given small plot.i felt like watching Bajirao again.they did exactly the same character
Except this role really was a "doll-like-save-me-please-my-hero"... The film shouldn't have been called Padmavati. She's so irrelevant she may as well have not been there.
Rajeeb Masand: Kaalakaandi 2star Padmavat 3.5 star
Anupama Chopra: Kaalakaandi 3star, Padmavat 2.5 star
I didn't see the movie, but I quiet feel that shahid's casting would be a weak link in the film as he seems unconvincing in portraying the character of a Rajput king. The look outs in this movie are Deepika's acting and dance, Ranveer's complex character, grandeur set design, fight sequneces and background score. I hope the story won't disappoint in amidst of the notable positive factors of the movie. Nevertheless, I agree with Anupama's review as I personally feel the movie will lack on story level.
Absolutely right you are, Shahid is a miscast, he hasn't that shoulder to carry out 'aan, ban, aur shaan' of The Rajputs.. poor choice
Even I have the same thought, he doesn't look like Rajput king as he has a lean body and narrow shoulders. He is a good actor but not good enough to play this role. Fawad khan or Siddharth Malhotra or Saif Ali Khan would have been good choice.
No, Fawad is chocolate type, but yes, Saif or Siddharth would have been ok, may be anyone else, but not Shahid, bhai u r with ur observations..
ANNAS MOHAMMED shahid was better than expected. a nicely controlled performance in contrast to ranveer's OTT khilji.
Are you guys serious about these suggestions? Saif?? Siddharth??? Fawad maybe.
I love how Anupama gave respect by naming individuals of the technical team behind the camera while bashing the director and writer.
This film deserve 4.5 stars.
Dp did fabulous job. Each scene and ever scene are outstanding.
Therefore it deserves 4.5 stars
"some scenes become unintentionally comical". @3:00 There, and you could have left it at that. Rather than describe the comical scene after scene.
Bollywood reminds me of Old Hollywood. "Cleopatra" was the most expensive and glamorous film produced at the time, starred Elizabeth Taylor as the beautiful queen of a doomed empire, and was pretty to look at but not much in the way of storytelling. But people are rather illogically praising it as a masterpiece even to this day, because of the impression it created.
ohhhh no just a meagre 2.5/5.0 After all this rollercoaster ride before the release ?
tragedy is as tragedy be.
Well, it's ok. It may not become a superhit but sure would be a memorable watch for moviegoers.
2.5 .... seriously....???
I KNEW IT.. I JUST KNEW IT !! Ranveer was gonna kill it as KHILJI.. booked my tickets for tomorrow morning !!!
MumbaiGlutton congratulations 😐
Lucky. You...i pray kash me ye dekh pavu theater me
let us know how it is ;P, I'm curious to know if its better than bajirao, so far I've been hearing no
karni sena se bachke rehna
Rishabh Vashishtha Mumbai has Shiv Sena not Karni sena.
Unqualified demonizing of Khilji and his clan 😂😂
What were u expecting madam?
Khilji to b shown as a world peace ambassador🙊
khilji was bad ...there's no doubt in it. but have you seen his pictures , he was not monster looking or ugly like how Ranveer singh's make up did.
it was quite racist approach to represent his ethnic in a over the top barbaric way. according to this representation rajputs are so noble, so blue blood, so high cultured people and dignitywala-sexist while khilji's society is uncivilized, ugly, noisy, uneducated, has no culture and abusivewala-sexist. if you want to underline the savagism of on person there are many other ways to do it. to do it in this way is firstly too shalow, it shows how limited your imagination and creative approach and secondly it is racist.
@luna-rd2nc You've summed it up perfectly, but the original commenter lacks the mental capacity to understand logical explanation and basic moral codes. Their language reflects their fanatic mindset.
Hello don't reveal the story.. u don't hv the authority...u r spoiling their half of collection ..Just review it by how u like it.
Rubiks Cube yaa but she is telling everytime ... Spoiling every movies..
Only 2 and half stars par phir bhi dekhne to jaaunga hi
You have a very bad habit of giving away a lot of the story and scenes within your reviews. It is absolutely ridiculous for a movie goer to know in advance what the characters do ... More than what has been given in the trailer. Please change this habit and stick to the reviewing part of the story. As of now you have ruined my experience of watching this film
Srinivas Mohan you’re right
btw, I literally loved everything bit of of this video, thumbs up for that
You're supposed to watch the "not a film review" before you watch the film and the film review afterwards. LOL
u may like to watch /read my reviews :)
Hi srinivas, i too thought the same after listening to her review. But didn't we know all the basics before hand? And also, i decided to watch the movie a year or two later so i can form my independent view and not judge the film by her views.
And from now on.. I m gonna watch reviews after i have watched the movie..
Don't go by her rating!!! The movie is a magnum opus.SLB's movies are like operas. One should carry that mindset before entering the hall.Padmavaat(i) is A Spectacular Extravaganza with intricate artistic details which very few can dare to attempt to make.The story is simple tone and only three characters-centric.So Khilji has to be the bad man if the other two characters are in love with each other & that has nothing to do with Khilji's "muslim" identity. The Hindu priest, who was expelled from Chittor for his ravenous lust for Padmavati is also a bad man. Anupama did not mention that!So please ignore this oversimplification. Do watch the movie! Ranveer is an awesome talent. And so are Shahid & Deepika. You would find it way better than Befikre.....SLB probably had forgotten to spend few more bucks for these critics to talk good about his flicks believing in his own mettle of filmmaking. It seems YRF does not take that risk and hence the obvious pradelection !!!
This is honestly the best review I've seen of Padmaavat. All the rest left me feeling like it was I that was missing something.....
After watching padmavati trailer always felt it's lacking soul inspite of all the grandeur. Nothing compared to Bajirao Mastani.
Bajirao Mastani too lacked soul
Your review was on point. You pointed out every single that bothered me about the movie.
Did not like 3D,beautiful costumes,jewelleries and set.But,lots of similarities to Jodhaa Akhbar and Devdas.
Is Befikrey better than Padmawat then 😜
The beautiful use of language by Anupama makes the reviews fun!
I'm astounded by this review, is Anupama no longer enamored by Indian cinema anymore? She seems to have missed the beautiful unfolding of a story. Yes there was grandeur, beauty in every scene and why shouldn't there be but there was also symbolism, subtle nuances that if you looked away for a moment you would miss. The acting by all actors was truly incredible, each character had so much depth, passion and intensity which added to the telling of the story. I would give it 4/5 and recommend you to experience this movie on the big screen!
I saw movie yesterday on 24th and I agree word to word what u said. Ranveer nailed it as Monster Khilji.Apart from all d scene u mentioned I also liked d scene where he give emotional speech to boost his army. Movie is bit slow and it loses its passion and rhythm. It seems v r watching a documentary unless & until u know history. Poor Bhansali feel so sorry for such a creative person who can do miracles on screen but due to restrictions he has to do limitations. I wish he release uncut version of Padmavati online. Cos seeing this movie was like just watching frame by frame photo album. Not as exciting as Ram leela, Bajirao Mastani. Of course to mention Khali Bali & binte dil songs are awesome. Bhansali sir 👍
Poor Anupama is always going to see "Befikre" in the comments section. Allow the woman perspective. Disagree, not disrespect.
Credibility - lose it once, lose it forever
Honest channel and reviewer. Always unaffected by big star power or director.Good work👍👍
Madam.. there were many spoilers shared in the name of review.. please refrain to do so, thanks
I agree with her review but Shahid was such miscast as a Rajput king and stood out like a sore thumb!
This movie was a big example of style over substance.
The best performance here was done by Jim Sarbh as Malik Kafur but, unsurprisingly, he was ignored most people. Even critics like you. No one seems to talk about it. Such a shame. He is a much better actor than Ranveer, Deepika and Shahid combined.
Anupama Ji I do not understand how could you give Befikre (3.5 star) , Kaalakaandi (3 star) more star than Padmavati(2.5 star).
With a review as downgraded as this ...u know that it's the high tym to unsubscribe nd stop watching any further video of fc.. ciaos adios
Anupama, you definitely got it wrong. 2.5 stars? this movie should certainly have got a 4 star rating, but then again, you are the film critic, or are you? I expected you to be fair.
Dear Anupama, I love film companion and most of all I love ur movie reviews. 9 out of 10 times in agree with u and out of all the critics in find the film companion reviews the most honest ....until today. I watched your review of Padmaavat a few times. Yesterday i got the opportunity to watch it in The Netherlands. I must say for the first time a couldn’t understand why u gave the movie just 2,5 stars. I agree that the story was a little bit tin but the screenplay was perfect. There are a few slow moments in the beginning but that is to build up the story. I Bhansali would have made big jumps at once instead of just slowly build story most of the critics would have given him less than 3 stars. The movie is 2,5 hours long but for this story to work in was necessary. I didn’t get bored a bit and in the end of the movie people started clapping 👏🏼. U always give more stars to smaller more serious movies who are less entertaining. I watch all of them. But entertainment that is also what the Indian film industry is all about.
So maybe u could have been less harsh on Padmaavat .
Love ur work and film companion
Sherien
I was extremely disappointed after hearing your review of shudh desi romance you gave it 4 stars when the movie lacked in every aspect. I think this will be the second one.
Ritz Z whaaat. I didn’t know that. Well thanks. Similar is 3 stars to befikre
USDD Sharma 3 stars?????? Really!! I regreted every paisa I spent on that movie ... !
Ritz Z 3.5 stars
a surprisingly good review !
Loved Jim Sarbh the most, although some scenes were outlandish

I beg and pray to Bhansali Sir not to touch these controversial topics henceforth.
and no one mentioned about Ranveer's accent. He gave good Maratha vibe in his previous movie. However, he seems to be just mouthing Hindi dialogues here,
Public review is the real review...people should stop watching reviews of these critics...😒
I feel that this movie is a masterpiece. I don't have anything to do with the history and the other things. I don't care about them. I just saw a wonderfully beautiful movie which made my heart ache. I love it.
Its sad that u r such a biased fan of ranveer that u didnt talk much of shahid or deepika
smiley 1 ranveer is undoubtedly star of this movie. Deepika gets better in the 2nd half and as for shahid, nothing much to talk about tbh.
-Karan -2 watch the movie first. You will become his fan too. He gave one hell of a performance.
No offence but the movie was a cheap effort to make the entire khilhji clan look like mad monsters....it looks beautiful...but tell characters are one dimensional....the rajputs made to look like ohhh soooo good....this is a complete fabrication of history....also ranveer acts brilliantly and deepika and shahid are only playing catch up....if u want mindless entertainment then go for this movie...if not then avoid it...
Its not her fault actually, go n watch the movie you will wait for Ranveer every time he is not on screen
can't take you seriously if your favorite actor is varun man
Yet, she gave Befikre 3.5 stars
Liked this review. Movies always manipulate the truth and are but ofcourse dramatic
This is the first time that moviegoers will faithfully follow review of a film before going to watch it. Reason? B'coz it neither have any 'Bhai' (who refused to do the film) nor it have any 'positive' buzz from media! All the media channels are injecting 'KS virus' in the minds of ppl for TRPs! Such a Shame!!!!
Sanjay Leels Bhansali is a very good set maker but as a director he sucks a big one.
Sumit Dev he is not a great storyteller, he is just a visual designer
Guzaarish and black say hello
About 2 yrs back ....i happened to watch Her review on tamasha ......nd decided not to go for the movie as it was underrated .....months afterwards i realized that it was a maaterpiece i Missed ........if i had chose not to go for padmaavat after watching ur review yesterday , i would hav regreted it afterwards .......
Guys , this is how underrated films r born ........underratings from overrated critics ....
Striking tableu IS the best way to describe the emotions of every character that was a part of this film. Including Khilj, I mean even he starts to gaze into thin air talking about how he doesn't get true happiness. What is that? I remember watching Devdas, which was a very grand version of what the original was and it got its due flak for it, but the world SLB created with SRK and the rest of the cast who were committed in expressing their love, hate, anger and ego is world apart from what he has consistently created in the past 3 years.
Where was 'this' Anupama when Befikre was released?
Don't listen to her....it a great movie
Movies are not meant only to be hyper realistic..they can be dramatized too..a story which is known to all.. moreover a lesson in school books.. what else bhansali could do to it for making it more interesting ? A little more drama and colourful visuals...he did it..I can't get through your sophisticated language but..movie is exceptionally good..no need to criticize about the content as it is true and happened ages ago which can't be altered for satisfying review writers...a must watch for any movie lover..
Why do you review? you gave 3.5 stars to befikre which was a flop, & again you’re giving 2.5 starts to a super hit padmavat. Give it up! Fair Reviews are way out of your league dear.
Sounds like a typical SLB film. Beautiful to look at, but no soul.
You just had a Befikre moment but in a negative way. Well the film definitely deserves a 3+*
I haven't watched the movie but I had an idea how this would turn out to be. Your review is perfect I feel. I wish indian filmmakers knew how to make really good period cinemas with a strong storyline. I am kind of tired to see movies that just have beautiful set but weak storyline.
After 3 years I am asking you have you watched the movie 😀
Ranveer is so over the top that mainstream critics call acting
2.5 stars??? You r joking right?
If she is saying that third grade befikre movie is better than padmavati then she needs to look for other career options.
I dont know why people are trolling Anupama. It was her choice to give befikre 3.5. When Anurag Kashyap's No Smoking released Many critics like Rajeev Masand gave 1/5. But now No smoking is considered as masterpeice. I have never found any trolls on Rajeev Masand reviews.
Anupama Ji.... Just retire and stop reviewing films. Just go and watch you favorite (mediocre) film Befikre for the remainder of your life and leave artistic masterpieces like Padmaavat alone.
Films are paintings ... have u watched the great gatsby, Sanjays work is pure beauty and that’s what makes his films OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!
i hope someday the original version without any cuts gets to rielesse, that is the real film.
I think she was sleeping during the moovie so she had given 2.5 star to such a great moovie
2.5 is less for a movie that's better in many ways expect few with every actor doing justice to their roles. It's visually brilliant, dialogue deliveries are pretty good and the efforts the actors put on to make their characters appealing can be seen quite clearly. One who's seen the movie would at least give 3 or a 3.5.
Spoilers alert
Every act, scene, frame as well as the entire movie is an master piece itself. The directors attention to details just take your overall experience to a whole new level. The homage to the bigone era of royalty and it's essence is beautifully captured by the Bhansali Sir. The only thing it faulter is the CGI that you won't even notice if you watch it in 3D, which only focus on the vision of the director itself, you can only see what he wants you to see rest become blurr. I wish he had avoided that because I was craving for all those small details which he artfully puts into his movies. Now the performances the Shahid and Deepika's characters I believe were underwritten or I would like to say under-explored there can be enormous possibilities in that too. The romance between Shahid and Deepika's relation doesn't grow onto me and I think first half must have elaborated their relationship so as an audience we could make ourselves count for the leading duo inspite knowing the infamous 'jauhar'. Despite this Shahid has given another flawless performance. His Rawal Ratan Singh is epitome of Royal Rajput yet shows common emotion of being judged, which eventually becomes the reason of his abduction in the movie. We started to expect a lot from Deepika and it is not her fault. She was stupendous, her eyes says the million words and still she doesn't stays in the memory after the movie is done. This movie is entirely a Ranveer Singh movie, I tell you why, he performs with his whole heart. He is the absolute evil yet her desire of beauty makes him relatable at some point one where he slept through the burning pavilion was my favorite one. Another instancece when the Khilji(Ranveer) was dancing after receiving the news of padmavati's(Deepika's) arrival in the movie, the amount of energy he puts into his dance moves the intensity with which his fingers moves appropriately shows the excitement of the character . Kudos to the coreographer Mr. Ganesh Acharya, yet another high song after 'malhari' when I dig in I found out that The Bhansali-himself approved the song after 10 takes. Over all I would have loved the movie even more if I could have get one scene of khilji post padmavati's jauhar. His frustration and helplessness could have made the last disclaimer of greatest defeat valid.
Though I walked into the theater hoping for rollercoaster ride of asthetics and beautiful cinematography, which I got too. That is why I'm extremely happy that the movie finally released and I got the honor to watch it before anyone else.
Kindly keep the standard and rating consistent.
She said all good about the movie and giving 2.5 ??? R u kidding madam ?? Reviewers from south have 3.5 to 4. Simply giving 2.5 ? Just compare your previous movies with Padmavat for which you gave above 3 or 3.5.
It would be appropriate rating movie is huge good looking spectacle but melodramatic cliche like his other works for example bajirao mastani
Its true. SLB concentrates so much on look of the movie that he forgets to work on the story and character developement. Bajirao mastani was much better thn Padmaavat. only saving grace for this movie is R Singh's jawdropping acting on screen. And yeah no one gave me money to write this comment.
Padmavati is indeed an entertainer 🙂
Ranveer Singh .... 😍😍
as many have pointed out, slb is great at creating grand visuals and frames, but is a weak storyteller..bhansali's previous two films, ram leela and bajirao mastani were mediocre in their storytelling ability, dialogues and character development, but audiences are usually distracted of that because of the grandness of the films..they end up succeeding at the box office because there really is not other maker in india (until bahubali) to tackle films and concepts visually like bhansali..in his entire career, only devdas and black are the films which can be considered outstanding..rest are severely overrated, sadly and probably padmavat included
good to hear your perspective..i can go into long details about my point of view, but ill try to sum it up as concisely as i can..for ram leela, the shift and downward spiral of ranveer's character seemed surreal to me..a guy that head strong just becoming so weak so quickly seemed to be a big time dramatic liberty, in order to move and finally conclude the film..that suspended any weight the film had for me at that point as the character and the situations surrounding him became farcical..Bajirao- bajirao and mastani's romance was so underdeveloped..the backbone of the story-their love- just happened so quickly and randomly that again, it felt like a big time cinematic and dramatic liberty just so that there could be a story and more effort was put at portraying the glamorous dances and the conflict that follows beyond interval, eg the spectacle..there just seems to be a constant trend of underdeveloped characters and storylines in bhansali's films..the mistakes are so glaring that personally for me, it ruins the efforts he puts into other things..and that brings me to devdas, thats the only film of his where the characters are so well written and the storytelling has minimal plotholes..because that film was a work of fiction, and because of the time when it takes place, it is not hard to believe that such a story actually occurred..anyways, its always good to hear the other side of film criticism, and your points are just as valid as mine
The most honest review.....
Padmavat isn't a Masterpiece like some people are believing it to be.
Just Go And Watch It People !! Masterpiece .. Watch it in IMAX 3D 😎
A little heads up for spoilers would have been nice!
So are you sure That Befikre is better with 3.5 stars?
sanjay needa to start casting people other than deepika I mean she is beautiful but she is not suitable for heavy roles like this one.wish pc was cast in this one
Rani Padmavati was Sinhalese - so a South Indian beauty is apt for the role....
Just wait for Kangana as Rani Jhansi Laxmi Bai - She gonna totally kill it
Shows your ignorance about Deepika Padukone's origin. She is a Saraswat Brahmin who originally came from Kashmir. Saraswat and Gowd Saraswat Brahmins came about 1200 years ago from Kashmir and settled in Goa. During the last 400 years to avoid conversion in the hands of Portuguese they moved south to Karnataka. The language she speaks is Konkani which is a North Indian language like Marathi. Show do not be an ignoramous.
Divakar Shenoy haha tf 😂 Deepika Padukone's origin story? Are you high on something? 😅 👍 on research tho huh. 😆
She killed it in Simran. Best female performance of the year I think. Manikarnika is being directed by a guy who made this Epic War Film in Telugu - check it out. This team has the finances and the risk appetite too.

I used to come here for reviews before going to film..now wont make this mistake again as this women is turning obnoxious.
Totally unfair. Watched movie. Padmaavat is an outstanding movie in every aspect of it. Rating Padmaavat 2.5 is just not acceptable. No other director have courage and ability to make such movie. I thought 'Befikre' was an mistake but after watching this review looks like she only likes 'Chopra' movies. Unsubscribing ...
She said 2 1/2 i think this movie deserves more than that
I respect your opinion but it seems like most of the time you end up liking the film which audience doesnt like and vice-versa...
It deservers more that 2.5 start if feel ...
You people are really unbelieveable, you are complaining about that she gave a higher rating to befikre than Padmavaat. YOU HAVE NOT EVEN SEEN THE MOVIE so stop claiming that this movie is better. You guys dont even know that but already judge her. Why do you take the effort to come and watch her reviews then??
afgm1 I spent a fortune on befikre after watching her review. Now try convincing me not to rant! I haven't forgotten the atrocity committed on me. I will rant!
