Do you think Padmaavat has glorified a villain and Sati??

No!

No.

I don't think so? Values and ideals in ancient societies were very different from those of today. I think committing Jauhar required an innate courage which was revered then. Even now, I do admire individuals who would die for their beliefs. Do I agree with it? Definitely not. But does some part of me admire women brave enough to commit it? Kind of.

There was no Sati in the movie...it was Jauhar...and with SLB's amazing directing skills...where he turned mastani into a vamp...I don't know what he has done that there is so much hungama over Jauhar which was a fact in old times...but SLB being SLB is capable of doing anything...

In actuallity Khilji was barbaric but not uncouth and SLB turned him into a joker.

1. Sati and Jauhar are different. Movie has shown Jauhar.


2. Almost everybody was aware of Rani Padmini and her bravery and her jauhar incident is already glorified in our hearts ever since we read about her in childhood. Movie showed what actually happened or what was already known to people. Rani Padmini's bravery was never for or in the battlefield, her bravery was known for failing the villains when they were this' close to victory. Hence the movie showed merely what people already knew or felt proud of.


3. Khilji was as menacing as it is shown in the movie. So no exaggration there too.

I honestly thought they glorified Jauhar, in the original poem - Khilji listens to the screams of the women. I wish SLB had retained that - I don't have anything against the practice as it made sense in that time but I wished he had shown it more as a horrific thing. I wished he had shown the ashes of the women who died.

As much as I find that Bhansali and his stooges annoying, no the movie was rather non-controversial.
Jauhar was shown as something important hence few people took it as glorified, but whole movie was about Jauhar right? If there was no Jauhar, movie would have been fake.

As for Ranveer and glorification of Khilji, no he was not glorified but given more screentime and he absolutely took the ball and made a winner act.

Jauhar was the choice of women to save themselves from sex slavery or any kind of abuse. It was a reality of the past and I think women who opted for it were as much brave as the male warriors. Don't think it was glorified in the movie.

The only thing I really missed was an after Jauhar' scene. Wanted to see how a tyrant like Khilji coped up with his only loss in that battlefield? That would have been a proper closure to the ultimate sacrifice by queen padmavati.
