Before the release, the film faced many criticism and backlashes from a fringe group, in fact the makers had to pospone the release because of protests. The costume drama has received praises from critics and audience for direction, cinematography and star performances. Out of the complete star cast, Ranveer Singh grabbed the lime-light and stole the show in the film. Our film critic Urmimala Banerjee gave the film four stars and said, “Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film is a visual delight and thoroughly entertaining fare, courtesy the epic performance by Ranveer Singh.” (Also Read: Padmaavat box office collection day 7: Ranveer – Deepika – Shahid’s film enters the Rs 300 crore club at the worldwide market)
