‘Padmavati’ Trailer An Intense Visual Treat

Mumbai: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Padmavati trailer was released on Monday. The trailer has been the most anticipated films of this year and it promises to be heady cocktail of passion and power. The three lead characters - Padmavati (Deepika Padukone), Maharawal Ratan Singh (Shahid Kapoor) and Sultan Alauddin Khilji (Ranveer Singh) look fierce and Bollywood celebs can't stop gushing on each of their look.

Deepika comes across as headstrong and righteous as Rani Padmavati in her majestic traditional outfit, never seen without her 'nath', while Shahid does justice to the gutsy and never-say-die attitude that Rajputs swear by. Ranveer, as the antagonist Khilji, appears darkly eccentric, self-obsessed and strangely vulnerable.

The background score deftly switches the glorious mood of the film to a sombre one, leading the viewers to imagine the dark end of the saga. Also starring Aditi Rao Hydari and Jim Sarbh, the film is set to release on December 1.
