I honestly believe Padmavati like every other SLB film is overhyped. The last historical romance film I liked was Jodha Akbar and to my knowledge that was ages ago. Ram Leela was nice to an extent but not a cinematic wonder it is claimed to be -- the sets were obvious, story so and so and the ending hilarious. It took out whatever emotion there was in the film. I remember the climax getting to people until the last moment where it just ends up being a stupid ending slash laugh riot.
Ghoomar goes solely to Deepika Padukone, the heavy costumes, flame, dancing and the whole sync of the song with the 60 something apparent twirls she had to do with those fire urns. That is applause worthy. But then, I don't think I'm going to watch Padmavati. The film just doesn't sell to me. And all the obvious over promotion and the blatant PR that follows just makes it worse. But for all we know it might end up being a hit. Everyone loved Bajirao Mastaani and I skipped it (until I watched certain parts on tv and didn't like what was shown).Deepika needs to pick better films, what is this? Her third of fourth SLB film? I miss her acting in films like Bachna Ae Haseeno, Om Shanti Om, Love Aaj Kal, Break Ke Baad and Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani. She was amazing in Piku too! All the best to her, though. Or even the Houseful film she did! It was fun.Also, one thing I dislike about most SLB films is that the sets are so overdone that it's obvious that they're sets. It's ruins the whole film for me. Maybe it's a pet peeve, idk.
Ditto.
SLB elevates everything in his movies except for the story.
As for the song, yes overhyped.
