Padmaavat: Bhansali Impresses Critics

'Padmaavat' is undoubtedly one of the highly controversial films made in the past few years. There were threats the makers right from the shooting stage and the sets were vandalised by Karni Sena members protesting that director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his team is trying to distort historical facts. The team had issues with the censor initially and they faced a ban from a few states.

Supreme Court intervened in the issue and lifted the ban on the film by the four state governments and ordered them to provide security for the theaters screening 'Padmaavat'. It is known that 'Padmaavat' is set for release on January 25. As the protests are still continuing, the makers held special screenings for the media and film critics in Chennai, Hyderabad cities yesterday.

Critics started showering praises on the film right after the premiers. They have given unanimous thumbs up to the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's visual feast. They are saying that the three lead actors Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh delivered memorable performances in the film. They are saying that Ranveer Singh stole the show with his intense acting. We have to wait for a day more to know the response of the common audience.
