Great right up, but i don't think bhansali is romanticising khilji's feelings anyway infact it's clear that this movie is all about rajput glory and their bravery. As for rani padmini, even many people here questioned her bravery, the fact is earlier people believed in Sar kata sakte hain par sar jhuka sakte nahin, even the male warriors preferred to kill themselves rather than becoming the slaves of somebody else. Even our great freedom fighter azaad chose to die through his own bullet rather than dying or being captured at the hands of britishers. Rani padmini preferred not to surrender to khilji, because that would give him victory. So this story signifies that even though khilji won the battle, he lost to rani padmavati's courage.
