Two minutes into the new song 'Ghoomar' of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama Padmavati, one wonders why the filmmaker known for his larger-than-life canvas is not letting his creativity loose on the screen.

But this restraint comes as a refreshing departure from the director's previous works that he has splashed in his own colours. While 'Ghoomar' also boasts of the Bhansali aesthetic, the filmmaker has deliberately only sprinkled his colours on the song and not splashed it completely into the drum.

He keeps the Rajasthani flavour of the song intact to a great extent. Unlike the case of 'Nagada Sang Dhol' from his 2013 romantic drama Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela, where the local Gujarati essence was conveniently diffused with Bollywood masala, 'Ghoomar' gets both its nuances and the overall impression right.
