What Is Padmaavat About?
Based on Malik Muhammad Jayasi’s 16th-century poem, the film tells the story of Queen Padmavati (Deepika Padukone), a Rajput queen of beauty and honour, married to the noble king Maharawal Ratan Singh (Shahid Kapoor). When the obsessive and ruthless Sultan Alauddin Khalji (Ranveer Singh) hears of her beauty, he declares a war that will test honour, love, and sacrifice to their limits.
Ranveer Singh’s portrayal of Khalji remains one of Bollywood’s most talked-about villain performances — feral, magnetic, and absolutely chilling. Deepika and Shahid more than hold their own. The iconic Ghoomar sequence alone is worth the watch.
The soundtrack — Ghoomar, Binte Dil, Khalibali, Nainowale Ne, Ek Dil Ek Jaan — still dominates playlists to this day.

Meanwhile, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is preparing his next epic, Love & War, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, slated for March 2026. The SLB universe continues to expand.
