PADMAVATI ROW--Much Ado About Nothing

History and fantasy are a heady mix if the cocktail they brew is intoxicating enough. Why not take a sip and then decide?

Art is an expression of free-flowing ideas and creative imagination, unhindered and boundless, limited only by the law of the land. Why force it to tow the line each time, to please all, on mere conjectures and preconceived, ill-informed, beliefs? Why not celebrate the grandiosity depicted tastefully -- as evident from the visuals released so far? If past performance is any indication, Padmavati promises to be a feast for the eyes and the ears. Savour it as such! 

In any case, valour and vandalism are not each other's substitute and those who equate the two are masked cowards. No sane society should encourage such people. 

Pride and prejudices have been mankind's bane for a long now. Time to conquer them like a true warrior! That'll be the ultimate victory for civilization.
