Lekshmy Money

Why did Mohanlal's character in the movie become the way he is? In his childhood, his doctor mother went to work. So do the kids of all working moms turn out to be psychos ? It's understandable that he had quirks about the type of food to be eaten and cleanliness. Urvashi , when she appears as a spirit or in his hallucinations acts worst. She whispers her dialogues and nothing is audible. Is that the height of acting ? And this devoted husband falls for two other women- roja movie rpja's elder sister and remya Krishnan. Whew. And he strangles his wife cos of suspected affair. Great

Almost faithful reproduction of its Hindi original: Nil battey sannaatta

Grand sets and costumes and bhansali signature cinematography. In parts, reminiscent of the following movies:- i. bajirao-mastani where new bride of foreign culture dances the ruler- husband's traditional dance (pinga there, ghoomar here) ii. Mirch Masala 1980s film starting Smita Patil : angry women hurling objects at intruder (glowing coals here, chilli powder there) iii. Bahubali: battle scenes, huge catapults And yes great casting for Alauddin khilji. Singh has done full justice to the role. That group dance of khilji&men radiates raw energy! Unecessary and awkward song sequence when khiljis slave starts a song.Scene where padmavati answers questions posed by raghav chetan,her eyes tear up unnecessarily. Ratan Singhs "moral values" in the film border on the foolhardy when he insists on meeting khilji in his fort before escaping and telling him that he is leaving with Padmavati.
