Part of this original composition is inspired by the magnificent film - Padmaavat - a 2018 Indian Hindi-language historical drama film, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Based on the epic poem of the same name by Malik Muhammad Jayasi, it stars the lovely Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmavati, a Rajput queen known for her beauty, wife of Maharawal Ratan Singh, played by Shahid Kapoor.

In this epic poem, Sultan Alauddin Khalji, played by Ranveer Singh, hears of her divine beauty, and attacks her kingdom in a destructive attempt to enslave her.

At the 64th Filmfare Awards in India, Padmaavat received a leading 18 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director (both for Bhansali), Best Actress (Padukone) and Best Actor (Singh).

This beautiful and deeply moving film won 4 awards, including Best Actor (Critics) (Singh) and Best Music Director (Bhansali).

Padmaavat also won 3 National Film Awards, including Best Music Direction (Bhansali).

The story’s plot describes how in 13th-century Afghanistan, an envious and cruel Khalji ruler - Jalal-ud-din Khalji - plans to take over the throne of Delhi.

His nephew - Alauddin Khalji - asks for Jalaluddin's daughter Mehrunisa's hand in marriage.

Their wedding is organised, but on the night of the event, Alauddin engages in adultery with another woman.

A senior courtier witnesses the act, Shareef Pasha, and is promptly killed by Alauddin.

Mehrunisa is informed of this during the wedding, leaving her horrified.

The wedding occurs, and Alauddin is appointed as a lead general in Jalalauddin's army.

In Singhal, princess Padmavati accidentally wounds the Rajputi ruler of Mewar, Maharawal Ratan Singh, while hunting in a forest.

As she treats him, he reveals that he has traveled to Sinhala to acquire rare pearls for his only wife Nagmati.

Eventually, the two bond and fall in love.

Ratan Singh asks for Padmavati's hand in marriage. She agrees, and with permission from her father, they are married.

Jalaluddin takes over the throne of Delhi and sends Alauddin to repel a Mongol invasion.

Alauddin is successful in doing so, but undertakes an unsanctioned raid on Devagiri.

He captures the princess there, and makes her his concubine. Jalaluddin's wife and nephew, Itaat Khan, warn him against Alauddin's ambition to take over the throne.

However, he journeys to Kara to meet Alauddin and gifts him the slave Malik Kafur.

Alauddin has Jalalauddin's ministers assassinated by Malik Kafur, and Jalalauddin is killed by one of Alauddin's generals.

Alauddin then returned to Delhi and declared himself the new Sultan.

Over time, Alauddin and Kafur become very close, and Kafur rises to become a general in Alauddin's army.

Padmavati journeys to Mewar with Ratan Singh and is blessed by his royal priest, Raghav Chetan.

Chetan later intrudes into the palace secretly and spies upon an intimate moment between Ratan and Padmavati, and is subsequently banished.

He then travels to Delhi and informs Alauddin of Padmavati's beauty.

Alauddin, who is fixated with having anything that is exceptional, invites the Rajputs to Delhi, but his invitation is rejected.

Enraged, he lays siege to Ratan Singh's capital Chittor.

After six months of an unsuccessful siege, Alauddin feigns peace on account of Holi and is allowed to enter Chittor, where he meets Ratan Singh.

He asks to see Padmavati; Ratan Singh grants this request, but only momentarily, while preventing Alauddin from seeing her face.

Ratan Singh is then tricked by Khilji, and is taken to Delhi as a prisoner.

Upon Queen Nagmati's insistence, Padmavati agrees to see Alauddin under some conditions: She will meet Ratan first, there would be no male guardians during their meet and Chetan will be executed for his earlier treachery.

Alauddin agrees; Padmavati then travels to Delhi to meet him.

Meanwhile, Alauddin survives an assassination plot by his nephew, though he is wounded.

When his nephew visits him recovering in bed to gloat of his victory, Alauddin awakens and kills him.

The Rajputs, disguised in women's dress, plan to ambush the Khilji soldiers in the morning, at the time for morning namāz.

Padmavati, along with Chittor's generals, Gora and Badal, frees Ratan Singh, and escapes with Mehrunisa's help.

Ratan confronts Alauddin, who urges Ratan to take this opportunity to kill him in his weakened state.

However, Ratan refuses as this is against the Rajput creed of not attacking the wounded.

The Rajput ambush goes ahead as planned, but the Khilji soldiers are alerted to it and repulse the attack, killing the Rajputs, whose brave sacrifice allows the King and Queen to escape.

Alauddin imprisons Mehrunisa for helping the Rajputs and marches to Chittor.

He and Ratan Singh engage in a single duel.

Alauddin is wounded and drops his sword, Ratan is about to kill him when Kafur takes the opportunity to mortally wound Ratan, while his back is turned with arrows.

While dying, the Mewar king berates Alauddin and his forces for fighting dishonorably.

The much larger Khilji army defeats the scattered Rajputs and captures Chittor, but are unable to capture the Rajput women who perform jauhar - mass suicide by immolation into a huge pyre of fire - along with Padmavati, rendering Alauddin's quest a failure and leaving him furious.
