Why is Deepika dancing in Padmavati like a courtesan? Wasn't Padmini a regal queen? In those days dancing was only reserved for courtesans and some dancers in harem for enjoyment of kings. For high status regal women dancing was a taboo. How come in SLB's world Rajasthani Queen Padmini group dancing with other dancers? Everything is possible in stupid SLB's world.

Mastani - Courtesan, princess, Warrior, singer and queen

Padmini - Courtesan, princess, warrior, singer and queen.

Did such super women exist in history or its only SLB? 🤢

You forgot to mention Pinga..EPIC
Rani Padmini is not even a real character..It is an imaginary character mentioned in Padmavat written by Malik Muhammad Jaisi and she was not depicted as a courtesan.
Neither Mastani was a courtesan..She was indeed very much real though.

Because, just like that movie where a woman from a "high class" family ends up dancing with a prostitute (Dola Re), this is a Bollywood movie, and a Bollywood movie where there is no dancing done by the female lead(s) is a Bollywood movie that is deemed incomplete. 😆

Ghoomer (the dance which Deepika will do) is not courtesan dance, it is an important part of Rajasthani culture, it is kind of like a celebration dance and if they do stick to the basics of the dance it will nowhere looks like a dance form a courtesan would dance to. They dance ghoomer in main Rajasthani festivals, like Gangore. It's like the Durga puja dance for Bengalis!
Even Jodha would've danced to ghoomer in her times 😛

Who knew that Bajirao also could dance in Bollywood style to Malhari 😆

I'm sure there would be a passionate and romantic dream sequence between Padma and Khilji to entertain the audience 😆

Well I would watch 😆 If she is made to behave like a royal queen instead of doing nacha-gaana.
All that hum-hum karke dialogues , royal snobbishness..I like that 😆😆

More expectations are of a Zombie. Hopefully not though. Another cringe worthy experience it would be otherwise.

I dont know what dance is she dancing to. But I suppose Rajasthani and Rajput princess and queens used to dance in their private areas, to celebrate festivals and special days, change of seasons etc.
But then with SLB at the helm, one cannot be too sure.

Real Kashibai's family was offended with the Pinga dance. Cause Women from the Marathi Royal families, were not the dancing sorts. Esp dancing with the courtesan was a taboo, like you mentioned.

Even Bajirao dancing to that Malhari song was cringe-worthy. But SLB likes to take these sort-off creative liberties, right ?
