Despite not being released in some states of India, it grossed over ₹585 crore (US$73 million) at the box office, becoming a major commercial success and the 12th highest-grossing Indian film of all time. Critics also disliked the portrayal of Khilji as a stereotypical evil Muslim king and Ratan Singh as the righteous Hindu king which led to protests by religious communities. Upon release, Padmaavat received mixed-to-positive reviews, with praise for the visuals, cinematography and Singh's portrayal of evil Khilji, but criticism for its storyline, execution, length and adherence to regressive patriarchal mores. Padmaavat was rescheduled for release on 25 January 2018 in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D formats, making it the first Indian film to be released in IMAX 3D. In December, the Central Board of Film Certification approved the film with few changes, which includes the addition of multiple disclaimers and a change from its original title Padmavati. Amid violent protests, its release was indefinitely delayed. Initially scheduled for release on 1 December 2017, Padmaavat faced numerous controversies. With a production budget of ₹180 crore (US$23 million)– ₹190 crore (US$24 million), Padmaavat is one of the most expensive Indian films ever made.
