leads the Rajput women in a collective decision to commit Jauhar to avoid capture and preserve their dignity.

While the film is based on the 16th-century epic poem Padmavat by Malik Muhammad Jayasi, the ending differs from earlier historical or legendary accounts: Film Version ( Padmaavat ) Original Legend ( Padmavat Poem) Killed during the siege by Khilji's aide. Killed in a duel with another Rajput king, Devpal. Padmavati's Fate Commits Jauhar as Khilji enters the fort.

The sun bled through the smoke, a crimson coin slipping behind the ramparts of Chittor. Ratan Singh, his chest a ruin of Saracen steel, lay cradled in the lap of his Queen. His eyes, once fierce as a falcon’s, were soft now, seeing a horizon beyond the siege.

The priest’s chant rose in pitch. The women began to walk, a river of gold and crimson flowing toward the flames. Padmavati looked at her own reflection in the polished brass of a shield—a last glimpse of mortal beauty. The deep-set eyes, the jasmine in her hair, the tilak of a married woman on her forehead. All of it fuel.

The ending of the movie shows Padmavati and her husband, Raja Ratan Singh, being taken captive by Alauddin Khalji and his men. The queen, played by Deepika Padukone, is forced to choose between her husband and her dignity. In a dramatic turn of events, Padmavati and her companion, Champa, decide to take a stand against the Sultan's army.
