Padmaavat | Not A Movie Review | Sucharita Tyagi 

Aliasgar Pocketwala omggg even I thought so

For bollywood overacting is called as acting

I wish they could have cast Shahid as Khilji instead. We have seen him in Kaminey, Haider, and Udta Punjab, I know for sure, he would have approached the role differently. Not that Ranveer was not good but personally, something was amiss.

@@vijaya5lakshmi could be

Same here bro

Kawshik Baral then you know nothing about mughals 😒😒

U r a disgrace

ya,may be i dont

Kshitij Harsh no offence intended man, have deep respect for the rajput rulers and warriors...i just dont appreciate the decendants'adamannce for not even allowing to comment or express their opinion on the dynasty...anyways sorry if hurt your feelings

@Kawshik: I dunno . . .. . apparently, the greatest honor a human can receive in life is to be born punjabi. If you don't believe me, ask a punjabi.

This movie shows that, mans desire if given the means has no bounds. Khilji wanted her because he was told she was "nayab" and he had the means to easily beat Mewar. What do you give someone who has everything? A fantasy that is within his reach.

Disha Shetty totally agree with you.

I see your point and sucharita's also. But i think most people missed the moral of the story. The reason why rajputs glorified this story through out ages. It wasn't the jauhar they were proud of it was the lesson learnt. Khillji used unfair means, cheated in battle to win (padmavati) and he lost spectacularly inspite of winning the war. He wanted to be remembered in history but no one remembers him they think of Padmavati and gora and badal characters. While rajputs fought honorably...obeyed the rules of battle (sometimes stupidly for our generation) but even when they lost they are remembered for their honor. lesson: Battles won with honor is more memorable and of value to us than cheating. Haar ke jitne wale ko baazigar khete hai thats what the story was about. about treating women like property that was the fault of the times back then can't really fault SLB for that.

@@iamsnehanair to add in the list of lessons: hollow ego based on clans prevents us from uniting with each other against an invader, which causes our downfall. There were hundred of Rajput kingdoms, only if they were not filled with ego, and hatred towards each other, they could have joined hands to never let an outsider invade and force such a condition that the women of the country had to jauhar. But we did not learn that lesson, and yet again Britishers invaded. Not sure if we have learnt it yet.

Well she's a feminist. Liberal she won't understand

gunzlingerbil I’m a Muslim lol. Couldn’t care less. Lol

Thats the joke mate. Its fictional, no one should care. If anything the movie depicts muslims as desi Khal Drogos, which sets unfair body standards for us fat muslims :P

gunzlingerbil Thing is, we’re almost 2 billion in this world. We have shit ton of history. At times We were saints, we were scholars, other times we were evil and cruel! N sometimes were were poets and lovers. So whatever they show Muslims as, it doesn’t effect us our present or history. We’ve been around and we ain’t going anywhere lol

Again I was joking mate :P Haven't seen the movie yet, so can't comment much about it. Will go and see if the censor board lets it release in Pakistan :D

gunzlingerbil I know ryt. absolutely!!!

i second you..they use unnecessary big words and reviews are monotonous. She keeps it silly and simple :)

But...but this not a review!

Why here Sahana? This isn't "hayu" where you saw that video of Kourtney 😂

Rakhi Agarwal Nothing 'Mahaan' about it. Thats what she meant.

Exactly juahar was a crude practice but it was performed only when there was no way out. In the case of queen padmini, she did juahar with other 14000 women of Mewar because for them the horror of life of rape and dishonour was bigger than the horror of death. And anyone with self-respect would try avoid dishonour in the best way possible. So we should proud of our past and people like queen padmini who held her head high and accepted death over life of torture

the fact that history glorifies this mass suicide which was a result of oppression is quite indicative of where our society is headed.The problem with this glorification lays not in the actual historical context of it (although the practice of such a Ritual in of itself is pretty problematic) but in the implications of it. If women cannot protect her 'honour' she should just die. Because what else is there to a woman's life than her perceived honour. The honour that transcends herself and becomes the matter of the nation, reducing her down to an object, a hollow vessel to parade your 'honor' in.

Thanks Rakhi Atleast you understand difference between Jauhar and Sati.

exactly, the glorification and the implication that women should die with honor should be questioned. but in the story whether it's fictional or real they did out of their choice because they didn't wanted to be sex slaves. It should be perceived that way. like when azad killed himself at alfred park

+IamDon9999 .....Dude....Padmini itni beautiful thi....ki boht dur ki mirror images dekh krr....Turkish king awak reh gya tha.....vo itni fair thi...ki ek poem me likha gya...ki Rani ka color tone milk ke jaisa h or jab vo pan khati thi...tb unki neck me redness se pta chal jata.

Arya problem with SLB is that he try to visual overtake the story and character but the thing is he is not talent enough to pull it off

Why?

Keeshor Kumaar because he want to emotional manipulate audience as well

lmao

The problem is Rajputs are dumber than a piece of rock.

Badass because, one who can accept death, they don't have fear. I thought just like you for a very long time, kept asking this question again and again, until one day I heard this term, "Prisoners of War." In my quest to understand it better, I got my answer

in the last seen of the movie, Raees was shot dead, showing that no crime goes unpunished, where do you see the glorification there?

Oh! So now you want to justify a movie's 99% which seeks to clearly/directly glorify a criminal. And you want to justify it using the dishonest 1% of the movie which seeks to glorify the criminal indirectly if not directly.

Kartik Bhatia how did they indirectly glorify it? can you please elaborate? Cause you can't make claims without any supporting arguments that prove your point. The movie quite literally shows the "rise and fall" of a criminal, it's a story about the criminal, just like things like breaking bad or the god father Are, they are not "glorifying" meth or mafia, they are just telling a grim story. Not all films/novels/plays are going to be about happy to go lucky things. Your comments more direct than Indirectly suggest you have a very strong dislike for Muslims( though you "carefully" tried to hide )therefore you have issues with history that involves Muslims in it banned, or only bring up movies that have a Muslim guy staring in it. I agree that correct history should be taught, the people who looted the country should be written in the history books as looters, however you can group the people of an entire religion as looters. Good and bad people are in every religion/caste/country etc. Also please don't come at me with "defending Muslim" bullshit, as an agnostic I point out when Muslims are putting down other religions too.

Jareen Fahmi When you portray him as a Robin Hood in 99% of the movie and you portray the whole system including the security forces as corrupt, then killing him in the last 1% of the movie only accounts to giving the impression of him being,as if a martyr. I havent seen Breaking Bad but I have seen Godfather. And Raees can not be compared with it in this regard for the simple fact that character of Al Pacino in godfather was not glorified and it was a grey character. And you are wrong when you say that Raees depicted rise and fall of a criminal. No it didnt. It only portrayed him as a Robin Hood+Superman all through out the movie. And i hope you agree with me atleast at this,that 99% of movie was glorifying him. If you dont then I cant help your thought and there is no point arguing over it. I dont need to say anything indirectly. I am pretty clear. What I hate is the 'arabisation' of Islam. If you haven't grown brains to understand what i mean,then keep your allegations to yourself. Coming to history, I dont want history of Islamic period of india to be banned. I rather want it to be correctly told to everyone like they do in the Gurudwaras,without being called Islamophobic. The reason for that: Sikhs are a minority and hence to be appeased by your polticians. I just want the history books to call barbarians as barbarians and foreign invaders as foreign invaders because thats what they actually were. Muslims should also stop relating themselves with those people. And I dont care if you are an agnostic or a monk or a wahhabi,if you dont want people to throw allegations at you, first stop being a hypocrite and learn to avoid the practice yourself.

Kartik Bhatia Azad fought n then took his life when he saw he has one bullet n can't win. Here Padmini was a warrior n still she committed suicide bcz her hubby was murdered instead of fighting back n dying a heroic death. Rani Lakshmi bai is perfect example of real queen

It was natural and not OTT!

Sorry but in Movie no man told her to commit a Johar. It's her own decision and all women encouraged it.

@@deveshsingh752 it did happen in the movie too, shahid's character was aware that if they lost they would commit johar. And even if it isn't explicitly shown in the movie, the point remains same, that such a practice shouldn't be glorified that has such patriarchal roots that treat women as an 'object' that should rather burn than 'be given' to anyone else.

@@harshitamadaan3878 I get your point that women were treated as object and I felt bad about the reality through which these Women went through. The thing is we can be ashamed of our history but how can we forget about the 'context'. What if the Johar was not committed by rani Padmavati, then everything be good for her. She chose to do that because she don't want herself to be enslaved by Alauddin Khilji. Some people says that she sacrificed herself to protect Rajput's culture. And we should not forget that this movie is based around 12th to 13th century - where patriarchy were on its peak.

nahi woh Ostrich Afghanistaan mein hota hai :)

*OMG fangirling so hard*

Which in retrospect, makes it as non- 'naayaab' as it can get. :D

I think the thought was that the enemy should not even lay eyes on the dead bodies of the women. Hence the act of stepping into fire

Debatable.

You called Shahid feminine? Lolol he's anything but that. When did not exuding toxic masculinity become feminine

I think he looks graceful. Looks are just a one aspect of masculinity.

I felt the same. Hrithik would have been great...

90% if Bollywood casting is trash that's why

I don't understand this is the fault of Deepika or Sanjay sir or the characters were like that only.. I mean Mastani and Padmavati..Were they really expressionless and didn't know how to smile .🙃

I agree!

Yes.I also find her expressionless .Don't know why is she so overrated.

@@justjane711 i really don't know why do we even call her an actress

@@rohinis4430 lol this is too much

Marvin The Robot please relate to the time this movie is from, instead of being sex slaves for the ruler who conquers them,they choose to die, the concept was this.dont understand why ppl have to scrutinise every movie like its going to bcum a law they will have to follow.

lol n on top of that they pitched feminism in it while interviewing deepika.. i was like really after such a horrendous message she n others have the audacity to talk about how this is women oriented feministic movie n role? like kill me now !!

@@DikshaPandey sure thats the whole point dear!! u can tell the story of the darkest situation n what happened u can justisfy their action as they didnt had any better choice but to glorify in the way it is done is absolute BS.

It was abt having honor and securing ur dignity rather than.. being alive but losing it to the enemy!

I know this comment is a year old but if you write blogs I would gladly follow

Madhavi Kkutty vahi to main cheez hai.... Dekhna baahubali ko tough competition degi in terms of sets and all

+Parag Dashundi ..aapki baat shi hai....but rani padmini ka darr kya tha vo bhi dhyan rkhiye....uske pati ke alaawa uski body ko koi touch kre....isse better vo mrr.....this is the royalty of Rajasthan.....Rani padmini agar dri thi to zahar khakar bhi mrr skti thi....prr himmat dekho....mrr kar bhi apne body ko chune nhi diya...that's why vo jal gyi.

+Parag Dashundi wah

VFX are so unrealistic 😣

He's overrated... Should study historical movie making from ashutosh

Me too!

elusive junooni yay ! Thankyou :)

Your welcome! Keep up the great work and how your channel goes from strength to strength! Laters!

love this comment! Bhansali needs to show the darker sides and the consequences therein....else his sets look like a facade. I loved his Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam days but his history biopics are weak.

That is interesting. I am among those people who are averse to watching it because I am afraid it would glorify suicide.

But you may make me rethink that.

Basically jouhar is glorification of suicide. I didn’t see strength or courage, I saw a sad lack of choices that those women had. It’s terrible and there is something seriously wrong with people who don’t see anything disturbing about it.

Monalika Shrivastava Actually you are 100% correct. All these so called “epic love stories” from SLB have just blurred together into one overlong, slow paced, semi-interesting costume drama-fest:)😂👍

Parth Patel bhai toh jauhar isilie toh Kia......in plain language no husband to protect so to protect dignity I will perform jauhar

Mujhe padmavati ke baare me hi kuchh pata nahi kon thi kya thi

toh review matt dekh na bhai.

Sucharita aap ke liye hi dekha tha aap ke mostly review funny hote he isliye dekha aur spoiler alert aap deti he par isbaar nahi di isliye🙁

Haaye sorry yaar :( But yeh toh spoiler tha hi nahi na.
