I haven't got a chance to see Padmavat on screen and I am unlikely to get a chance to watch it in theatres.
I have issues about the history of western parts of India.I personally feel that not just invaders but the rulers of the western parts of India are also to be blamed for the invasions.Had those rulers rose above themselves and their petty egos and stood united against the invaders the present India probably would have looked very different than what it looks like now.
Another issue about killing themselves to save themselves - I heard it had been glorified.Agreed that the times were different back then but this could have been shown in it's true form.Those women died out of fear of a life which is worse than death. That is actual reality and it's should have not been depicted as an act of valor but as an act of self defence. I think the great director failed to highlight the plight of women whose lives have been destroyed by the invading armies.
In the end the viewer should feel that no woman should go through what Padamvati went through and think about better solutions for the problem that she and the ladies were faced with.
There are so many reviews which were saying the film is promoting regressive ideology. That means only one thing.The director failed miserably.

I don't care much about Khilji but definitely am waiting to see how Ranveer Singh has done.
This is one film I'm waiting to watch.

On other things I heard that a new channel called Jeet is arriving on the GEC scene.Saw a new show on Zee called Aape aa jaane se. I wonder how long this show will air. Harki of BV is playing ML's mother. Here also she plays a woman under someone's thumb.😆
