The modifications that include Deepika’s midriff and a name change to the title Padmaavat (earlier name Padmavati), the movie has created waves since the very beginning of its shoot. Not only India, the film-release is getting hugely popular around the world, the craze of the film is increasing with each passing day. In California, families living in San Francisco Bay bought the entire inventory of seats of the theatre, to watch the period-drama movie. The craze doesn't end here! To everyone's surprise, there was even a dress code. They enjoyed the three-hour tale donning the Rani Padmavati-like attire. It was quite a hilarious scene to see these families shake their leg to the famous Ghoomar song.
The movie starring Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmavati, Shahid Kapoor as Rajput King Maharawal Ratan Singh, and Ranveer Singh as invader Alauddin Khalji is based on the 13th century poem titled 'Padmavat' by Malik Mohammad Jayasi.
Well, it seems that the massive outrage by several fringe groups like the Shri Rajput Karni Sena has done a lot of free publicity for the film. The protestors who targeted the movie, claiming it to be an alleged distortion of Indian History, could not stop Rani Padmavati’s frenzied energy in the movie. The video shows how the enthusiasm surrounding the film has spread to International territories too.
Trade Analyst Komal Nahta shared the amazing video on Twitter. Women are seen dancing cheerfully on the tunes of Ghoomar song from the film.
