5 Reasons Why We Think Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavat Will Break Records At The Box Office

Yes, it is happening! Padmavat is finally all set to see the light of the day (or the darkness of the theatre) on January 25^th. With so much discourse going around the film, it is easily one of the most anticipated films that Bollywood has ever come out with. So now that you are all ready to ignore the dire threats and hit the screens on January 25^th, here are 5 things that you can expect from the ultimate epic, Padmavat.

Epic Visuals

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is not known for his subtleties in terms of visual appeal and from the promos, it is quite clear that Padmavat is going to be no different. From costumes to sets, to staggering VFX Padmavat would probably going to be the biggest visual grandeur after Baahubali and Baahubali 2.

Fresh Approach To History

Yes, you can argue that he has already done a historical romance with Bajirao Mastani but Padmavat is still different. It is Bhansali’s first venture where the focus is much less on the love story of two historical characters but more about the social, cultural and perhaps political aspect of that era, something that Bhansali has not really delved deep into. Thus one can expect an entirely fresh approach in this genre by Bhansali in his most ambitious project ever.

Ranveer Reinventing Hardcore ‘Villianism’

Ranveer Singh is known to bring a certain passionate madness to every character he plays and the stint is most likely to continue with Padmavat. Given the role of Khilji is that of a pure villain, you can expect Ranveer Singh to dish out a performance that going to reinvent the genre of intense negative characters in the film, perhaps even overshadowing Shahid Kapoor , the conventional ‘hero’.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali Brand of Music

Again, Sanjay Leela Bhansali films are known for their rich musical involvement. And if Ghoomar and Ek Dil Hai is anything to go by, then Padmavat would also not disappoint people in terms of heart touching and epic music.

Intense Performances

Again, this one is a given for any Bhansali film, but Padmavat is perhaps the only film in a long time to bring together such a massive cast of A-listers. All the major characters in the movie are known to be amazing actors with each of them being the recipient of at least more than one major awards.
