Padmavati but Vidya Balan's Begum Jaan also has a strong reference to Rani Padmini!

Vidya Balan’s Begum Jaan is slated to release this weekend. The film, which has her playing the titular character talks about the 1947 Indo-Pakistan partition but in a sense that hasn’t really been explored in Hindi cinema. . However, Begum Jaan shows the struggle of a group of women who are sex workers and the ones who completely refuse to surrender to a dividing line which passes through their house.

Directed by Srijit Mukherjee, the film is actually a Hindi remake of Bengali film Rajkahini, which was also written and directed by Mukherjee himself. In the film, Begum Jaan accepts death in the end and takes pride in dying like a queen. She, along with her women, enter their blazing brothel and decide to self-immolate themselves, much like the famous queen of Chittore. In that very scene, they are being narrated the story of Rani Padmini, also known as Padmavati.
