What a glow everywhere I see, Oh mother, what a glow;

I have found the beloved, yes I found him,

In my heart's courtyard;

I have found 'My Ustaad Sahib'

I roamed around after jiji's demise,

looking for help;

And finally came this stranger (a messiah in disguise) who became my life

His dark eyes has enchanted my heart.

The whole world has been opened for me,

Never seen a glow like this before.

Whenever I see now, he is with me,

Oh beloved, please dye me in yourself;

Dye me in the colour of the spring, beloved,

What a glow, Oh, what a glow.

I saw Padmavat today and i quite liked the movie.😲 I'm surprised myself.😕

Perhaps it was because i watched it with zero expectation or even negative expectation. 😔

Aunty, you were right. The bad boy was the hero.😆 He dominated the movie effortlessly. His crankiness does get overboard at times. But he has a dominating presence. And his timings and shameless evil make you fear and hate him immediately. A little more underplayed and it would have been iconic. Anyway, he is sure to sweep all the awards for negative role this year.👍🏼

And of course Deepika. She looked every inch the gorgeously beautiful queen for whom wars could be fought. Lives could be laid. And she was and looked brave, intelligent and wise as well and all this with quiet grace. She looked like a nymph in the forest scene. And breathtakingly beautiful in the final jauhar scenes. She is dignity personified. You ought to overlook a couple of scenes with Christmas tree attire though!😆

The sore point of the entire movie, the biggest let down was Shahid Kapoor. He doesn't look royal from any angle and least of all like one for whom the angelic Sinhal princess would flip for at first sight. H e is simply no match for Deepika. Something about his build makes him look funny in regal attire. You feel like laughing when he his angry and banging your head when he utters words of heroism. His commander in chief Gora Singh looked more brave more proud and more impressive.

The charecterisation doesn't help either. Talking of principles and pride even after he has realised that the enemy has none. He doesn't heed to Padmavati's warning and insists on accepting Khilji's hospitality as he would otherwise be called coward and gets caught. After he is rescued from the prison in Delhi he insists on meeting Khilji before he leaves...as Rajputs don't run away 'peet dikhakar' and thus alerting the enemy and lessening the time for his warriors to defend.

The only purpose the scene served was giving Ranveer a scene to exhibit his comic timing. His 'dhat' when the king walks in when is in all expectation waiting for the queen all dressed up. At some point you inadvertantly begin to feel sorry for his continued failures in all his attempts to catch a glimpse of Padmavati dreaming pining and walking about with a lotus in his hand inspite of his evil quotient high on board.😆 Like SRK in Darr.

The initial scenes of Khilji capturing the Delhi throne were quite boring. And appeared to have been extended only to show how ruthlessly evil and morally depraved he was.

Overall the movie looks duller in shade compared to SLB's routine garish colours splashed everywhere. And the ambience is gloomy throughout. Perhaps to suit the looming end.

Deepika and Ranveer do not share one single frame together. All Rajputs have been depicted as brave and noble and Khilji as evil incarnate. Queen Padmavati has been portrayed and played with great dignity and respect. So really wonder what all the furore was about. 🤔

Yesterday my kiddos played a prank on me!! I was talking to one of them and I could feel he was smirking and I was trying to gauge what the reason was. And I suddenly saw a creepy creature in front of my eyes!! The loudest shriek of my life I gave out almost having a heart attack!

Then turned around and saw the rest of the bunch standing and laughing their hearts out! But seeing my face they stopped immediately and started mouthing 'sorry' profusely!! Then all came and gave me a hug!! Ab kya boloon!!? Finally, just told them not to do this prank on anyone! I detest bugs or insects of any kind, specially spiders and they knew!

I think these people in India have ample time in hands and to show that they are doing something they do all these nonsense to occupy themselves and be in the news! 24 hours fall short for me and these people are leisurely using the time to foolishly protest something which is nonexistent!! 🤔

>> actually it is the lot , who has absolutely nothing to do , plus the power play here also wants to have something or the other to keep themselves in limelight .

through their actions they r bringing so much shame to their community , they cause harm to the innocent schoolgoing kids & damage public properties .

If we go by history, Khilji did see Padmavati through mirrors because her husband requested her to show herself to Khilji!! If SLB had shown that then imagine what they would have done!!

Did they show in her swayamvar, Padmavati herself in disguise of a man challenged whoever can beat her in swordfight will get the garland of Padmavati? Her husband won and that is why she married him.

>> i hv also read it & was also shown in one of the tv shows which was aired some years back on sony .

Good review Sandy!! 👍🏼 My friends were asking me to go along with them to watch it! Reading Lavanya's review I thought I will not go. You gave a different shade to it. Aunty I could feel was in between like and dislike! 😃

Lana - You remind me of my son's 'conversations' with any creepy crawly's until I go & remove them. Mostly during the summer time if even a harmless ant shows up by the door side he will say " Sorry this is my home I live inside. You live out side & then hollers at me to come & remove it. 😆
