Deepika Padukone- Shahid Kapoor- Ranveer Singh starrer Padmaavat is just getting back the sweet fruit of their immense efforts. The threats and the protests could not really stop Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus from hitting the screens. The film garnered the amount of Rs 56 crores in just three days at the box office.  Not only India, but Australia and UK Ireland also saw tremendous collection due to the Indian fans there.

Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "#Padmaavat is ROCKING in key international markets... AUSTRALIA Thu A$ 363,973 Fri A$ 537,530 Sat A$ 462,288 Total: A$ 1,363,791 [₹ 7.04 cr] @Rentrak UK-IRELAND Thu £ 115,710 Fri £ 184,977 Sat £ 234,841 [some locations yet to be updated] Total: £ 535,528 [₹ 4.82 cr] @Rentrak."

The international collection also proves that the fans were indeed keen on watching the story of Rani Padmini on the big screen. Ranveer Singh's Alauddin Khilji was the highest point of the period drama. Shahid's composed performance and Deepika's painting like presence was laud-worthy. In a candid chat with Neha Dhupia for 'Vogue With BFFs', DP also revealed that she was paid more than Ranveer Singh for the flick!

Speaking about his experience about Padmaavat, Shahid said in an interview," The best thing about Sanjay sir is that he is ruthless in his creative desire. He is extremely intuitive towards artistes and his craft. And he doesn't care whether it is 4 am or midnight, or whether it is 82 days or 100 days or what the cost of one day's shooting is or if someone is emotionally spent."

Looks like Padmaavat has already won the hearts and the coming weekend collections will play a major role in determining the fate of the film. Have you watched the film? Post your review in the comments section below.
