Re: Padmavati
It hasn’t come out yet, but is pretty much an based off of an epic from the 1500s where a Muslim king invades a Rajput kingdom to capture the Queen of the kingdom. Controversy surrounding this movie isn’t new since the director did actually get physically attacked because of it some time ago. Basically people are getting mad as hell because they think that Bhansali’s depiction of Padmavati is dishonoring their culture. They think Deepika’s outfits are too revealing and that her character dancing in the movie is also scandalous. There were even rumors about of there being a “dream sequence” where Padmavati and the Muslim king Khilji/Khalji are getting physical or something like that, which Bhansali denied putting into the movie. Add in the political climate of India and you get this disaster.
