Set against the backdrop of medieval India in 1303 AD, Padmaavat was the bold and courageous tale of Rani Padmavati, defeating the vicious Sultan Alauddin Khilji of Hindustan, and his evil intentions.
The plot revolves around Queen Padmavati who got married to Maharawal Ratan Singh, the ruler of the Kingdom of Chittor in northwest India.
Padmavati, known for her captivating beauty, becomes a subject of obsession for the evil Sultan Alauddin Khilji of Hindustan, who would go to any extent to achieve her.
The Sultan wages a war against Chittor, while Maharawal Ratan Singh dies, Rani Padmavati commits Jauhar (Self-immolation), to escape from being enslaved by Alauddin Khilji.
Padmaavat had become a global phenomenon when it was released back in 2018.
Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Leela Bhansali had received death threats and were accused of distorting historical facts.
The total collection of the film stands at Rs 571.98 crore.
