Indeed, the commendable box office collections have come as a major relief for the entire team as Padmaavat was mired with controversies since its inception.

Talking about the box office success of the movie, Deepika had stated that 'it is not over yet'. She even added, "The last three days have been so overwhelming that nothing else matters. I am in a mood to celebrate. I am grateful for all the love and support".

The period drama is based on the 16th century epic Padmavat by poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi. The Sena has alleged that it distorts history and undermines Rajput valor - claims denied by the filmmakers.
