‘Padmaavat’ continues to attract big numbers at the box office. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film has managed to cross Rs 150 crore at the end of its first week at the ticket windows. Shahid Kapoor-Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh-starrer made over Rs 50 crore in the weekend and added another Rs 12.50 crore on Wednesday, taking the film’s total business to Rs 155.50 crore in India. While the Karni Sena’s protests have died down, controversy fails to leave the project alone. Swara Bhaskar’s strong opinion to glorifying the practice of ‘jauhar’ (self-immolation) in the film continues to keep ‘Padmaavat’ in the news.
