There is a lot of mention of Lord Rama and his extraordinary feats which are fantastically fantasies but does that mean even he didn’t exist? A person or a group of people can have faith and faith shouldn’t be questioned. This is another school of thought.

Rani Padmavati – Padmini was penned down by Malik Muhammad Jayasi in 1540 CE as a way to entertain readers of the upcoming historical fantasy genre. It’s no irony that in 2017, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is doing the same act by making ‘Padmavati’ – to entertain audiences worldwide. His point being that those who don’t want to grace theatre or don’t want to watch his work shouldn’t comment on whether he is commiting a heinous crime or defaming the celebrated Rajput clans and maligning history and sentiments.

I am a Rajput myself and barring my perspective here is somehow important.

Not all Rajputs feel the way the Shri Rajput Karni Sena, a Rajput caste organisation feels. They should know that their outrage is actually giving the movie an unconditional leverage because of the unconditional promotion it has got. People who weren’t aware of who is Rani Padmavati are now excited to watch the flick. Youngsters are now aware of the Indian Rajput history . Suddenly it has been established that movies impart social conciousness. Movies as an electronic medium is a source of knowledge and so more important that it can cause an uproar in lives of so many people who have nothing better to do than protest and make obnoxious threats.Orthodoxy ultimately means not thinking-not needing to think.

The legal question which arises is whether the liberty taken by Bhansali is purely creative or unjustifiably insane?

It is totally inexcusable on the part of the director to not take permission from the Royal family of chittorgarh and not predicting this fall out. It is not the first time that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has gotten into a controversial glare revolving around his taste of story telling. He should have been more aware of the rapture.

While the movie Padmavati, which was supposed to be released on Dec 1 has been indefinitely postponed, the media is having a field day with the controversy, with debates between sides who are not ready to listen to logic or law and order to making wartales on two wronged sides, each feeling more helpless than the other. Who is right is the right question here and not who wins?

Life is not fair and never fairer in war of ideologies.

Ideally speaking, only the ones fighting the war know how much maybe it means to them. The Rajputs have contended that politically and figuratively, they have been hurt by utter disregard to Rani Padmavati honour by potraying her in belittling light by making the queen of sacrifice dance and make merry in front of the public on screen. For a Queen, honour is validation and shame, a way of life. Rajputs lived with a lot of culture and pride. Rani Padmini is consider a goddess. Angry Rajput clans mean no funny business when they say that such a remarkable and momentous Queen’s honour should be left alone and it’s a shame that after so many years, nobody is bothered by her sacrifice and tainting her name in the mud.

But the question to ask is whether Rani Padmini a fable or was she indeed real? And if she was real, was her story of sacrifice on which the two worlds are fighting not just a fragment of imagination?

This dramatization has brought some dramatic consequences but no conclusion. As we wait for the censor board to hand down a go ahead, in our hearts we know the uselessness of emotions and castiety which marrs Indian soil. The dance of democracy gives weight to creative freedom but it also plays dirty politics with our minds.

As per the poster, the movie is set to release on 1^st December and I know, that it’s worth the wait.

Teaser and Trailer are yet to release but BEFORE that, it’s time you read the story about Real Rani Padmini, also known as Padmavati.

Story Of Real Rani Padmavati

Story Of Real Rani Padmavati: Firstly, the movie is based on the poem Padmavat written by an Awadhi poet named Malik Muhammad Jayasi. It is said that the poem was inspired by many true incidents that occurred in the past. Back in the 14^th century, Chittorgarh place was ruled by Rajput prince “Raja Rattan Singh.” He married “Rani Padmavati” AFTER winning the Swayamvar.  Among the King’s rule, there was a man name “Raghav Chetan”, a musician. During that time, he also claimed to be a sorcerer who used to use his evil powers to run down his rivals.

One day, he was caught performing sorcery which was considered to be illegal and thus was banished by the king. He LEFT extremely humiliated and thus to FIND shelter he went and stayed in the court of Alauddin Khilji, the Sultan Of Delhi. During his stay, he gained Sultan’s trust and with revenge in his mind, he started talking about Queen Padmavati’s beauty. Alauddin Khilji was totally impressed and thus decided to see the Queen.

Days later Sultan reached Chittorgarh and set up a camp outside the FORT. Later, the message was sent to the King “Raja Rattan Singh” that Sultan came to see Queen Padmavati. This made King uncomfortable but yet, he agreed that the Sultan could see his Queen. He agreed because a simple “NO” would’ve led to a war between the King and Sultan.

Padmavati agreed to meet the Sultan too, but the meeting wasn’t arranged Face-to-Face. Mirrors were arranged in such a way that Sultan could see her beauty through it. During the meeting, Sultan was truly mesmerized by Queen’s beauty and thus, he decided that he will not leave without taking her with him. He played a game and on his way back he captured King who had come to accompany him. Later the message was sent that IF they wanted their King alive, then they will bring Queen Padmavati with them.

King’s two loyal general – Gora and Badal, created a plan and sent a message to Sultan that Queen Padmavati is ready to accompany him.

The next day, nearly one hundred palanquins went to Sultan’s camp and tricked him into believing that Queen Padmavati is on her way. Queen didn’t come and the war started and somehow they successfully removed their King.

Angry Sultan then decided to lay siege to the FORT, cutting off all the supplies. King realized that it was hard to defeat Sultan but still decided to go on a war outside the FORT. Even King’s people decided that they’ll FIGHT for the king. War took place and King’s soldier’s died and that’s how Chittorgarh lost the war. On the other end, Queen Padmavati and other women decided that they’ll sacrifice their lives too. So, they lit huge pyre and sacrificed themselves in it. Queen Padmavati jumped first and then other ladies jumped too.

In the end, even though Sultan won the FIGHT he lost Queen Padmavati.

Now I’m sure that many are excited to see how everything will be shown in the movie. It’ll be interesting to see Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh in this historical drama.
