BAJIRAO MASTANI


BAJIRAO MASTANI: is an Indian epic historical romance film co-written, produced and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali starring Ranveer Singh , Priyanka Chopra,Deepika Padukone, Tanvi Azmi, Vaibbhav Tatwawdi and Milind Soman.Based on the Marathi novel Raau by Nagnath S. Inamdar.

PLOT: In the early 18th century, the Maratha Chhatrapati Shahu's (Mahesh Manjrekar) court needs a new Peshwa.Minister Pant (Milind Soman) chooses to nominate a young Bajirao (Ranveer Singh) & is given the title of Shrimant Peshwa. Ten years later, Bajirao lives with his wife Kashibai (Priyanka Chopra),mother Radhabai (Tanvi Azmi),brother Chimaji Appa(Vaibbhav Tatwawdi ).During the Mughal invasion, Bajirao is away from home planning an attack on Delhi when he meets Mastani (Deepika Padukone) who has traveled to seek his help to save her hometown Bundelkhand which is being held captive by the Mughals. She is the daughter of King Chhatrasal and his Muslim wife. While Mastani’s dedication and her bravery impress Bajirao, he is determined to help her. Soon, in the midst of the battle, the duo fall in love with each other.The real drama starts when Bajirao's own mother conspires against Mastani.
Will Bajirao and Mastani’s inter-religious love breathe in the strong opposition of his Hindu community and family? Will Kashi accept the fact that she has to share her husband with Mastani for the rest of her life?What each of them sacrifices for their love and pride, forms the crux of the story.

PERFORMANCES: Ranveer as Bajirao undoubtedly delivers his career best performance.Right from picking up a brilliant Maharashtrian accent to his confident body language, he is completely droolworthy.The efforts he has taken to excel those battle scenes is visible.Deepika looks beautiful.She is very good but is not her best performance.Priyanka shines as the Peshwa wife who is innocent and child-like at start but matures and stands tall as a lady after her husband re-marries.Tanvi Azmi delivers another spectacular performance with her act as Bajirao’s widowed mother.Supporting cast of Milind Soman and Vaibhav Tatwawdi are well done.

MUSIC: is composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali himself.The songs "Deewani Mastani","Malhari" ,"Mohe Rang Do Laal" ,"Pinga" are very good but "Aayat" sung by Arijit Singh is awesome.

Costumes, sets,production design and Sudeep Chaterjee’s cinematography all confluence into a magnificent presentation.
Though its not a war film.Its completely romantic saga.Some history has been altered to give it a filmy style

Overall,Bajirao Mastani is a good film & its a must watch.
