Padmaavat

“The Goddess Queen”

In thirteenth-century Rajputana, word of a queen's beauty travels as far as Delhi, and it reaches the Sultan Alauddin Khilji (Ranveer Singh), a usurper who wants whatever he hears about. The woman is Padmavati (Deepika Padukone), wife of King Ratan Singh (Shahid Kapoor) of Mewar, and her husband's kingdom now stands in the way. Sanjay Leela Bhansali fills the screen with jewels, silk and fortress walls, and stages the conflict on that opulent, grand scale.
