Padmaavat-I wasnt expecting it but I surprisingly liked it. The movie was paced well with much time not being wasted on one particular scene or song as is SLB's usual style. Overall an engaging film.
The sets were well made but many of the scenes the VFX was bad enough to be obvious. Among the actors Ranveer overdid the villain act in certain scenes but in most scenes he was fine. Deepika too was fine. Shahid though was competent as an actor looked grossly miscast for the role of the Rajput king. His character came across as foolish who was hung on pride of his community when none of his community members turned up to help him out.
Two scenes which I took away from the movie was when Padmavati asks permission from Ratan Singh to commit jauhar and he assents. Since she knew what a proud man he was it probably broke her heart to ask that of him. It was like telling him he would lose. The other scene which stayed was when they take leave from each other and look at each other as if saying 'So! This is it!'.
Rating: 3/5
