SUPER-HIT.
All the three lead actors have received applauds for their stupendous performance in the film. The grand sets and the royal costumes along with the tight screenplay added to the success of Padmaavat.
The movie which was also released in Tamil and Telugu stars Aditi Rao Hydari, Jim Sarbh, Anupriya Goenka and Raza Murad in important roles.
The flick which is based on the epic poem ‘Padmavat’ by poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi has also done reasonably well in the international markets. Considering the rate at which Padmaavat is going at the box office, we wouldn’t be surprised if manages to break more records.
