We were.Director has removed the objectionable scenes involving Ranvir and Deepika romancing.
Looks fine now.And yes Ranvir as Alauddin Khilji looks downright scary.

Glad they took you guys into confidence before moving further with it.

I heard ranveer had to see a psychiatrist because of this role. He looks to have done really well with this.

Epic trailer!

Ranveer looks awesome.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

ranveer looks like khal drogo

Movies based on castes or religions should not be made in a country like india. Enough of caste system already exists.
i know its a movie and its might reflect the reality. But still present generation gives preferance to their castes and all.
We are pandits , we are rajputs or we are khatris or baniyas........Bull ****.....

Yes, we should all forget our past and take up state sanctioned identities so that some day we could be absorbed by other religions.

Its a period movie based on historical facts.I dont see anyone raising similar hue and cry over hollywood films with similar themes.
Its only Indians or more specefically hindus who have problems depicting their past as it might ''hurt' a few feelings.

Rajputs are seriously cool.

We need more movies like these.

Hoping this turns out to be a great movie.

Bollywood has gone backward to it's third class black and white scenarios ,it only looked good when Dharmendra played Jatt or Rajput , anyone else doing it looks cringe worthy not to forget caste glorifying in this era is downright pathetic,worst trailer.

Oldest available report about the lady:

(from wiki)

Padmavati was the daughter of Gandharv Sen, the king of the Singhal kingdom (Sri lanka). She became close friends with a talking parrot named Hiraman. Her father resented the parrot's closeness to his daughter, and ordered the bird to be killed. The parrot flew away to save its life, but was trapped by a bird catcher, and sold to a Brahmin. The Brahmin bought it to Chittor, where the local king Ratan Sen purchased it, impressed by its ability to talk.[7]

The parrot greatly praised Padmavati's beauty in front of Ratan Sen, who became determined to marry Padmavati. Guided by the parrot and accompanied by his 16,000 followers, Ratan Sen reached Singhal after crossing the seven seas. There, he commenced austerities in a temple to seek Padmavati. Meanwhile, Padmavati came to the temple, informed by the parrot, but quickly returned to her palace without meeting Ratan Sen. Once she reached the palace, she started longing for Ratan Sen.[7]


I really hope to see Hiraman in the movie.

Well it's up to film makers what he wants to show or make direct, couldn't care if he shows Sonia Gandhi as Messiah of poor.

[MENTION=130700]TM Riddle[/MENTION], Is that Chittor fort shown in the beginning?

 

[Zahid87]

I get that in the narrative Khilji is meant to be the 'villain', but why make him so....clownish and OTT. In reality, things are not always so clear cut. Yes Khilji was an invading marauder...but that does not necessarily make him evil.

In any event, the movie will be standard Bhansali fare - nice sets and scenery...period romance....but little attention to the actual script, despite the plot and storyline being handed to him on a plate. Ohh...and after the movie people will fawn over Deepika and Ranveer Singh. Same **** since Ram Leela.

 

[SandyB]

[MENTION=130700]TM Riddle[/MENTION]
I was wondering why I wasn't hearing anything from you regarding this ... Had Bhansali shown some sort of rough cut to the community with the romance angle removed /

One thing I hate about Indian period epics is that they male most of the characters on dimensional and Back - WHite . Many of the more controversial / twisted elemets of their behaviour is usually covered up, especially w.r.t their personal life.

Didn't Khilji (supposedly) have a gay lover ? Is that being shown ?

It doesnt hurt any one feelings ...Dnt worry i am not specifically talking only about this one. I am talking about in general. yes hollywood movies also made, but you dnt see hue and cry when people doesnt agree with some scenes.
i have seen people glorifying their castes on the backside of their cars , vehicles with stupid things written. We are this , we are that..There are many other examples as well.
....Historical facts are good , but i expect maturity from current generation.

A movie should be taken as a movie and nothing more.. What the protestors did during the shooting of this movie was downright pathetic and cowardice and if anyone is saying such a movie should not be made is also wrong..

Trailer looks good let's hope the movie itself is also as good..

Ofcourse he movie will be made keeping in mind the commercial needs of the Indian populace, if you don't like it you don't have to watch t mate.. But majority of Indians are still into songs and romance and OTT action kind of movies so that's what you would get in any major Bollywood popcorn flick..

Yeah, saw a lot of overacting from ranveer in the trailer

Bhut suffer kiya hai bhai hajaaro saalo se....nahi jhel hota or.....Infact i know this is only movie and true story and we should appreciate our heroes, nothing wrong in that.

We need more movies like these.

Hoping this turns out to be a great movie.

My ex g.f is rajput and i am khatri . Though not much difference . Same religion, same punjabi culture, . we both are engineers and educated.
She have to now marry someone from her castes because her family also thinks that only rajputs are cool.
i am just giving you practical examples. i know all people are not same.
we need movies like unity. we need movies like which unite our hinduism.
its not like i suffered , so only i am talking.
And by the way i am not much against this movie. But we are illiterate uneducated people in india, who only have degrees , so we dnt take a movie as a movie.
If only 1 thing i like about RSS is that they dnt believe in castes . And 1 thing i like about mughals is that they did the right thing by conquering us. it was our only mistakes.

Movies won't be able to solve this difference of the divide, India was never supposed to be one country I have absolutely no relation or anything in common with someone from south India apart from the fact our ancestors were both ruled by British..

The caste system will continue to stay here, I have seen people who feel superior to hide their inpotenices by hiding behind their castes.. The upbringing of I would say majority of kids still is based on caste if you know what I mean..

A good governance can solve any problem. one thing is you cant keep all communities , all the people happy in a country like india which is so diverse.
But atleast should take logical and rational decisions and that's the only way to go. Enough of this ,freedom to all dramas..

Brother government can only do so much in our country the feeling of superiority based on religion/caste is imbibed in the entire society.. People who can't achieve anything in their lives try to feel superior by looking down on other castes or people who are socially poorer then them.. Simple example talk to 100 people and out of those majority will be rude to rickshaw pullers or look down upon them just because of their social standing.. Same 100 people when they go to a minister will bow down their heads and try and kiss his behind..

The only way forward is to teach your kids from young age that every job is worth it and we are humans first and to respect each human.. You think such an upbringing will ever be possible on a mass scale in our lifetime? I don't think so, therefore no point thinking about it..

No one is gloryfying caste here.Kshatriyas of Chittor (Rajputs of today) in 14th century martyred fighting Alauddin Khilji(A remarkable general and even a better administrator) and bollywood is making a movie on it.Calm down.The sort of things that are shown here exactly happened at that time (with a couple of exceptions of course) , no need to get your dhoti in a twist.No harm in hindus taking pride in their history once in a whhile.Though I know it doesnt agree with your viewpoint of hindus being all diplomatic and politically correct but thankfully the rest of the population doesnt think that way.
Oh and I bet you would have been rejoicing in joy had the protaganist been a Dalit fighting evil Moslems.

Hollywood is down too,but their TV shows are remarkable, don't think I have watched a Hollywood movie in a while,I do watch Indie or small town Bollywood movies though.

I would write a letter to Bhansali and Co next time to ask them to produce better aesthetically pleasing movies so as to satisfy niche audiences like you who like to whine and complain at every oppurtunity about how world is such an unfair place.

Oldest available report about the lady:

(from wiki)

Padmavati was the daughter of Gandharv Sen, the king of the Singhal kingdom (Sri lanka). She became close friends with a talking parrot named Hiraman. Her father resented the parrot's closeness to his daughter, and ordered the bird to be killed. The parrot flew away to save its life, but was trapped by a bird catcher, and sold to a Brahmin. The Brahmin bought it to Chittor, where the local king Ratan Sen purchased it, impressed by its ability to talk.[7]

The parrot greatly praised Padmavati's beauty in front of Ratan Sen, who became determined to marry Padmavati. Guided by the parrot and accompanied by his 16,000 followers, Ratan Sen reached Singhal after crossing the seven seas. There, he commenced austerities in a temple to seek Padmavati. Meanwhile, Padmavati came to the temple, informed by the parrot, but quickly returned to her palace without meeting Ratan Sen. Once she reached the palace, she started longing for Ratan Sen.[7]


I really hope to see Hiraman in the movie.

Come on BZ even you know that its a completely fabricated story embellished with ridiculous stuff such as these.Nothing to be taken seriously.

[MENTION=130700]TM Riddle[/MENTION], Is that Chittor fort shown in the beginning?

Highly doubt it.i dont think they allowed shooting inside Chittor fort.I have been inside it a many times and interiors dont look a bit like it.Probably some other one.

I get that in the narrative Khilji is meant to be the 'villain', but why make him so....clownish and OTT. In reality, things are not always so clear cut. Yes Khilji was an invading marauder...but that does not necessarily make him evil.

In any event, the movie will be standard Bhansali fare - nice sets and scenery...period romance....but little attention to the actual script, despite the plot and storyline being handed to him on a plate. Ohh...and after the movie people will fawn over Deepika and Ranveer Singh. Same **** since Ram Leela.

You are probably right.Bhansali isnt exactly known for his creative genius and at best this movie would be another Bajirao Mastani.Though I would love to be proven wrong since I m gonna watch it in theatres.

Bhansali wrote a letter to Karni Sena and have promised to show the movie before release to Mewar Royal family so as to allay any doubts and rumors regarding the objectionable scenes between Khilji and Padmini.
I agree with you on Black and White Thing.Despite my intense hatred for Khilji , he was a great administrator as well as a ruthless military commander quite contrary to how he is shown in the movie.
Yes the person you are talking about was Malik Kafur.A slave who rose through ranks to become a general in Alauddin's army and was rumored to be his secret lover.Coincidentally he is said to extinguish many a great houses of South including the famous Kakatiya.

- This lady never existed.
- Alloudin married Kamladevi (she was the ex wife of the "king" of Gujrat )

Indian film makers should stick to Asoka.

Oh she most def existed.Although the story of Alauddin falling for her is certainly fake.He wanted to conquer Chittor because it was one of the most powerful kingdoms of north and not just because he had his heart stolen by someone who he never laid his eyes upon.

The myth, written in Avadhi in 1540, 30 years before Tulsidas began his Ramcharitmanas, has ended up being taken literally as history. It created, out of whole cloth, the legend of Padmini or Padmavati, the Ceylonese princess turned loyal queen —there is not a shred of historical evidence that she existed. And because of the popularity of the epic, the actual Alauddin Khilji, destroyer of the Mongols and one of India's most able administrators, is only remembered as a thwarted lover-boy, whose obsession and lust for another man's wife leads him to destroy a kingdom.

The Kakatiya were one of the few royalties of south India, who identified as "Shudra" . But back then then the system was fluid enough to let them attain positions of power.

What about the article posted by someone here saying Padma was a ceylon princess ..? Is that the accepted version ?

Think that's a myth.
You have to understand that most of the legend surrounding Padmani and her beauty has sprung from a 16th century poem "Padmavati written by Malik Mohammed Jayasi.Going by most records she was just a normal princess (whether renowned for her beauty or not , I can't tell ) who did perform JOHAR along with the other women when the rest of the Rajput resistance was squashed by Khilji during the battle of Chittor and win was inevitable.

 

[TM Riddle]

[MENTION=42489]Black Zero[/MENTION] The first Johar of Chittor is a historical fact agreed upon by most of the historians.
Padmani and not Padmavati did exist and performed the Johar , there is ample evidence in Mewar archives to support it.
You copy pasting a few TOI articles won't change a thing.

 

[pillionrider]

Third rate trailer of a third rate movie by a third rate pretentious director. Deepika is comical with her half smiling face which I assume she thinks is a way to convey poise and dignity of a ranisahiba.

Hilarious too the way they show Mr Khilji eating meat in as barbaric a way as possible. Khilji and his pack might have been hounds but it is this shudh desi ghee ** nowadays about eating meat that is hilarious.

Anyway I doubt this movie will make much money. It might break even just for its religious angles.

Yes, we should all forget our past and take up state sanctioned identities so that some day we could be absorbed by other religions.

Yeah, because Hinduism is a singular religion that never absorbed and acquired other streams and faiths to retain its relevance.

I've mentioned this to you earlier - Your attempts to convince you're justrollin is quite poor and I want you to know that there are people here who know you're simply terribly confused.

I am saying it, that such movies shouldn't be shown. Instead we should show the history of immigrants so that people understand the pain of moving from one place to another and sympathize with them.

You would appreciate that wouldn't you. Got your Aadhaar yet?

Oh and I bet you would have been rejoicing in joy had the protaganist been a Dalit fighting evil Moslems.


I would write a letter to Bhansali and Co next time to ask them to produce better aesthetically pleasing movies so as to satisfy niche audiences like you who like to whine and complain at every oppurtunity about how world is such an unfair place.

As I said in posts above,Bhansali can make what he wants show Sonia Gandhi as mother Terressa or whatever, I'll have the right to criticize what he makes esp if glorifying caste.

Hindus taking pride in a film?IF that's how pride comes up then good for em,getting hurt over films and creating ruckus will come along with it,if Rajputs really had pride in themselves,they wouldn't care what Bhansali makes,and just go about their business,because surely Rajputoon ki shaan is above a film made by an overrated director.

The only historical movie that was any good from the last 10 years or so of Bollywood was Jodhaa Akbar. Aishwarya was surprisingly good in it and Hrithik as always in a movie with some character was brilliant. But it too succumbed to religious nonsense in overrating Mr Akbar's benevolence to Hindus and more importantly his Hindu 'influence'. There was also some ridiculous scene there where he's sick and Jodhaa is praying to Krishna and that's when Akbar gets better or something.

Bollywood has gone backward to it's third class black and white scenarios.......pathetic,worst trailer.

Dunno why you guys getting all uptight and sentimental.
At least watch the movie first before passing judgements.
Though I agree Bhansali had a pretty poor record in the past when it comes to historical dramas.Let's hope we are lucky this time around.

When I met Irfan Habib sb, he told me there is no such Jodha in history and compared her to Anarkali, who doesn't exist either.

I don't need to have a fantasy meeting with someone to learn about this. Wikipedia will tell me that.

Lol the hypocrisy is alarming, weren't you the one who was supporting all those cowards who went and beat up an old man while he was doing his job? At that time you didn't say "watch the movie first before passing judgements"..

I was actually one of those guys.
Earlier the problem was regarding a romantic dream scene shot between Ranvir and Deepika.I wasn't passing any judgment per se.

Doesnt every movie say some scenes/characters are work of fiction? If you have a problem with something protest without taking law in your own hands if you support cowards who take law in their own hands then it's a problem..

Anyways iirc Deepika denied there was any love making scene.. Politifally motivated move it was nothing else..

i am with people who think that their proud history is being distorted to only get some masala for entertainment. i am not against these people, though beating and all is indian thing , not especially related to one community and we all dnt defend those actions, done by anyone.

 

[kaayal]

Can anybody give brief summary of the story.... I don't watch Indian movies. Sorry.... but the trailer looks amazing.

Padmavati is based on the story of Rani Padmini of Chittor, Rajasthan who was married to Maharawal Ratan Singh (played by Shahid Kapoor in the film). Deepika Padukone features as the protagonist, Rani Padmavati who lead hundreds of Rajput women to commit jauhar/suicide to preserve their honour and being captured by Alauddin Khilji, the turkic origin ruler of Delhi Sultanate (played by Ranveer Singh). Set up in 1300AD.

 

[Black Zero]

[MENTION=42489]Black Zero[/MENTION] The first Johar of Chittor is a historical fact agreed upon by most of the historians.
Padmani and not Padmavati did exist and performed the Johar , there is ample evidence in Mewar archives to support it.
You copy pasting a few TOI articles won't change a thing.

Padmini, also known as Padmavati, never existed.
Actually it's my desire not to change anything...and facts should remain facts. And that's the reason historians reject the historcity of this lady.

Once a hater always a hater. Just because historians don't know something doesn't mean it didn't exist. These darbari historians are basically hagiographers peddling nehruvian interpretation of history. Denying our glorious past and lionising the barbarians who defiled our motherland. So does not matter what they think or what some random poster things about it. Doesn't change the FACTS.
