What the public has failed to realise is that, the film is an adaptation of the poem Padmavat, written by Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi, in 1540. The poem ends with Jayasi's own words, I have made up the story and related it'. In fact, a TOI report has stated, "Sufi poet Jayasi made up the story that later got legend status, so Sanjay Leela Bhansali can't be threatened for taking creative licence with the tale, say historians".

The movie has so much scope in terms of its production, art direction and even the casting, that it is overlooked for something as simple as being historically inaccurate'. Ever since its inception, the movie was predicted to be a success at the box office, if not a artistically successful movie. But it is sad to see such trivial issues, potentially ruin what would be a masterpiece of the film industry.
I, for one, is very excited to see the movie once it gets released. Having checked out the production news on IMDB and Cinestaan, I cant wait until it gets released.

Completely agree with your points.

Exactly. the Karni sena have got it all wrong.. we are still unsure if Padmavati actually existed most people say that it is yet another case of a myth getting mistaken as history.

Also even the historical interpretations vary. The scholars also have a different opinion about how things played out during the Battle of Chitoor.

Also people should keep art separate it is the vision of a director.

The film made on a large scale and huge budget promises to be a visual spectacle. It was planned to have a wide 3D release with Paramount distributing it.

I really hope the audience gives it all the love when it releases. The ones who watched clearly said that the film gives what it promises and that it upholds and celebrates the RAJPUT valor and courage.
