Everything Wrong With ‘Padmaavat’ (We’re Not Even Talking History)

Enough has been spoken about the distortion of history in Padmaavat - what the makers got wrong about Rani Padmaavati or Alauddin Khilji among other things. The film starts with Rani Padmaavati on her shikaar- she was smart, sorted, intelligent and bad-ass but decides to marry this king she mistakenly hurts. DYK: Ratan Singh by the way, goes to Sri Lanka to get some rare pearls for his first wife and returns with a second wife. Okay, we get it, she must have fallen head over heels in love with Ratan Singh and must have decided to leave the lush green Sri Lanka and settled for dusty, sweaty Chittor.
