Padmavati trailer' has been trending for over 18 hours now and

Rajamouli summed up his verdict in two words, tweeting: "Insanely beautiful!" along with a postscript for Bhansali: "Each frame etched to perfection by the master craftsman." Ranveer's performance as the power-hungry emperor Alauddin Khilji also deserved a special mention.
