Ep862: Spotlight India: PADMAAVAT (2018)
Our "Spotlight India" series continues with a LIVE look at Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2018 historical epic, Padmaavat!
Set in medieval Rajasthan, Queen Padmavati is married to a noble king and they live in a prosperous fortress with their subjects until an ambitious Sultan hears of Padmavati's beauty and forms an obsessive love for the Queen of Mewar.
In this round-table-of-one, Ian talks about what he loves about Padmaavat, and Indian cinema in general, and responds to live viewer comments. Also, he addresses a minor controversy stemming from his review of Sardar Udham!
