Review of Padmaavat (2018) by Mary R — 24 Feb 2018
This is a sumptuous historical epic drama that brings a famous Indian poem to life. This story is like a fairytale set in the dreamy past: a beautiful queen, a handsome king, a cruel enemy warlord, glorious costumes, and gorgeous settings. The love story between the couple is romantic, elegant and courageous. The cultural traditions attempt to reflect the ancient time period. The movie also includes lively dancing and singing scenes. The actors are quite adept in their roles and bring strong emotions to the tale. The skilled costume designers deserve many awards! The English translations are large and very easy to read.
The movie is very engaging, and for a non-Hindi speaker, a good introduction to the fabulous "Bollywood" world of cinema.
