The film filled up with emotions, a good story line, good performances(especially RANVEER), fantastic sets and a well handled direction. I'm thankful to Sir Sanjay Leela Bhansali for making this epic. The first half is a bit slower but the second half is pretty much better. Loved it, a must watch film for me. Once again I thank Mr. Bhansali for making such a wonderful film
In the early 18th century, the court of Maratha King, Chhattrapati Shahu (Mahesh Manjrekar) needs a new Peshwa, the equivalent of a modern-day prime minister. In spite of Shripad Rao's (Aditya Pancholi) self- nomination as the Pant Pratinidhi, Ambaji Pant (Milind Soman) chooses to nominate a young Bajirao (Ranveer Singh). To test his spiritual wisdom and knowledge of weaponry, Shripad challenges Bajirao to split a peacock feather with an arrow. Bajirao succeeds and is given the title of Shrimant Peshwa. Ten years later, his wife Kashibai (Priyanka Chopra) is visited by her widowed friend Bhanu (Snehlata Girish Vasaikar), whose husband was accused of spying and hence was ordered to be executed by Bajirao. She bitterly forebodes that just like she longs for her husband, Kashi, too, will yearn for Bajirao.While traveling to Sironja, an emissary from Bundelkhand infiltrates Bajirao's tent and demands his help in fighting invaders. She reveals herself to be Mastani (Deepika Padukone), the daughter of the Hindu Rajput King, Chhatrasal (Benjamin Gilani) and his Muslim Persian consort, 'Ruhani Bai'. Impressed by her skills as a warrior, Bajirao assists her with his army and defeats the invaders. Chhatrasal is overjoyed and insists that Bajirao spend Holi with them. Mastani and Bajirao develop feelings for each other and he gifts her his dagger, which is a symbol of marriage among the Bundelkhand Rajputs. He soon departs for Pune, where Kashi greets him with a tour of their newly-built Shaniwar Wada and shows him the Aaina Mahal (hall of mirrors) which allows her to see him from her room.
Bajirao Mastani is one of a kind. IT is beautifully created, both in direction and setup. The lead pair has done justice to the role. Specially Priyanka Chopra.She portrayed Kashi Bai perfectly.Her innocence and pure heart can be felt. The music is amazing too.Efforts put in to this movie can be clearly seen.Hats off to Sanjay Leela Bhansali for creating this epic film. no one has ever created such a movie. I have now started finding better movies through www.flickstree.com. It not only suggests great movies to watch, it also tells where you can watch the movie online.. Highly recommended.
The three characters created such a bang in the industry.Hats off to Sanjay Leela BAnsaali.They have applied good sets as that of the era.The way that each persons helplessness is shown is amazing.The camera has captured the war scenes perfectly.Many shots are extended to show its depth and incidence in the play. As for the music,They are soothing and as per the occasion and the background scores!each better than the other. Both the characters shine in their own way.Kashi happily receives mastani to her house and celebrates together with her.A lady's happiness is found to be her husbands happiness. And she knew that in future,mastani will called with baaji.The fact is not about the length but the way in which it is shown.Mastani also dutifully brings presents when baaji cannot come to palace on sons birth even when she knew that she will be insulted.Kashi's conversations with Mastani depicts how much love kashi has for him.Both the womens in his life proved lucky for him. Also she did not break her promise of her country in which if she marries a dagger then she has to live the whole life with the owner of that dagger.
