Amidst several controversies  'Padmaavat' finally released on January 25, this year.  Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the movie stars Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, and Ranveer Singh in the lead roles. Based on Malik Muhammad Jayasi's epic poem of the same name, the film tells the story of valour of Rajput queen Rani Padmavati, wife of Maharawal Ratan Singh, the king of Chittor (an old Indian province).

The story revolves around how the tyrant king Sultan Alauddin Khilji fell in love with the queen and desired to have her but ultimately fails in his attempt as the queen performs 'Jauhar', a traditional way of ending one's life by jumping into the holy fire. With a production budget of Rs 2.15 billion, 'Padmaavat'  has made it to the list of the most expensive Indian films. The movie has been creating ripples ever since it was announced and the audience is eagerly waiting to see Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus create magic on the silver screen.
