Of the film's box office success, Deepika earlier told news agency IANS, "To be really honest, I think there hasn't been any time to celebrate the success because there is so much happening right now. Of course, it is the time for celebration."

In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee appreciated 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."

"Padmaavat" stars Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmavati, who had performed jauhar, after Alauddin Khiji invaded Chittor fort. Ranveer Singh plays Khilji and Shahid Kapoor features as Maharawal Ratan Singh, Rani Padmavati's husband.

Jim Sarbh and Aditi Rao Hydari also play pivotal roles in "Padmaavat". "Padmaavat" released amid huge protests by fringe group Karni Sena.
