Padmaavat"'s India business report card here:
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh earlier reported that "
Padmaavat", in its opening weekend, crossed the business of films like
Dilwale,
Sultan,
Tiger Zinda Hai and
Bajrangi Bhaijaan. (The last three films star Salman Khan). Also, Mr Adarsh mentioned that "
Padmaavat" has surpassed the collections of Deepika and Ranveer's 2013 film
Bajirao Mastani, also directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee praised Ranveer's performance and wrote, "The director's most willing ally in this endeavour is Ranveer Singh, ebulliently evil and visceral in his portrayal of a venal villain on the rampage.
He is never short on energy."
Deepika Padukone's "
Padmaavat" released after a month's delay. It was earlier scheduled to hit the screens on December 1. Several Rajput groups protested against the film. The CBFC gave a green signal to the release earlier in January and suggested five modifications, including the title (which earlier was
Padmavati).
