From Padmavati to Padmaavat, Sanjay Leela Bhansali film has come a long way. After battling controversies for months now, Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh's royal performance has bowled audience. The film is not only raking in moolah at the box-office, not only in India but abroad as well.
While Karni Sena had raised objections to the film depiction Rajput traditions, desi audience in the US is going gaga over the majestic and royal treat at the box-office. A video of Padmaavat screening in San Francisco has gone viral where ladies are seen dressed in lehanga choli and traditional jewellery just like reel queen Deepika Padukone and performed to Ghoomar before the show began. Trade analyst Komal Nahta shared a video on Twitter and wrote: "San Francisco Bay Area families bought a whole show of the movie theater to see Padmaavat and there was a dress code – “Every one should dress like Padmavati. And before the show there was this dancing”.
Earlier, the song Ghoomar was also played during a basketball match between Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets at the NBA.
We already know that Padmaavat has become the highest single day grosser in North America earning 1.8 million dollars on Saturday i.e. January 27th. It is also doing well in Australia and New Zealand. Padmaavat is all set to break Baahubali 2 and Dangal's box-office record in Australia too.
