Winners and losers - padmavati

Winners
The actors - all the actors now stand to benefit from this 100crore plus hit maybe super hit movie. For DP it cements her position and for Shahid it provides a breather from his string of flops.
Ranveer Singh and Jim Sarbh- ranveer has gained the maximum out of this movie. People seem to be loving him and the way he portrayed his character. I think this is a huge leap for him in his stardom. Jim Sarbh is another one who seems to have emerged as a popular favourite. Can definitely see him getting many more high profile movies after this. Suddenly everyone knows him.
Controversies - won't be surprised if we see many more controversies in the future over some stupid movie now that people have seen the benefits.controvery had become an effective and cheaper marketing tool than the more expensive ads and promotions

Losers-
Karni Sena- with all their appearances and utterings the only thing they managed to do was create free publicity for the movie and expose themselves as shallow charlatans. The fact that finally they are being put behind bars says a lot .
Marketing ad and promotions- team SLB saved a significant amount of money by not having to spend on promotion. For the past couple of months , the whole nation was in the grip of pafnavati news. Every day it was Padmavati this or Padmavati that. I cannot recall any other movie in recent times that was talked about. Tv channels, newspapers, websites all were giving prominence to Padmavati feee of cost .
Audience (the ones who watched bcoz of the controversy) - imagine sitting thru a 2 hour long boring ott fest just because everyone around us convinced us that it had something going for it either in the form of controversial stuff or historical relevance

Winner and looser
SLB - he is of course having the last laugh counting the monies but at what cost. He should thank Karni Sena for the fact that a movie that could have gone the sawariya route is now a hit, many reviewers are rightfully calling him the weakest link in the movie and one almost feels cheated when one realises that so much money was spent to create his cheapest and most tackiest looking movie.

The winners are filmmakers, actors , cast and crew are the winners

The losers should be easy to find

😆 😆

Unless their hiding 😉

I havent given my opinion on the film because I dont want to..

For Deepika..When she spoke that the film will shatter records on the eve of release
Then months back to Masand she spoke about how she and SLB didnt give up on the film..and at the trailer release event,when she spoke about being in the Title role of a Huuuge(her words) film..

I am beginning to think that as SLB had few choices in heroines-he gave in to making Padmavati.She says she went on sets during Khilji filming..she was taking ownership of the film.

The film is nothing without Khilji's obsession..She understood that..but wanted to get those big numbers.

For whatever reasons..The film is the biggest BW film overseas and most agree that with all the states in play-It could have had the biggest opening in India.

She is very happy with Piku..as it is the BIGGEST alternate hit in India(BARFI is not-it is a love story,had top hero,heroine,mainstream hit director and music director)

And Padmaavat is the biggest Non Khan hit ..she has 2 other biggest non Khan hits BM..and YJHD.

Other actresses aiming for her position have a lot of work to do.

Her Brand is shining and fans couldnt be happier
