There is also song and dance regime which doesn’t lend itself to a Maratha warrior. Historical inaccuracies are the main bone of contention in Bajirao Mastani. The focus here though is firm on the three central characters – Bajirao, Mastani and Bajirao’s wife Kashibai. It strains political as well as personal relations in the war hero’s life. So when Mastani declares her love to the Peshwa’s family and kingdom it’s opposed vehemently. The problem is Bajirao is a married man, not to mention he’s the political leader of a Hindu sect. She’s the daughter of a Rajput King, but her mother is Persian. On one of his famous battle missions Bajirao encounters the beautiful Mastani. Rather it’s about that man and his longing for love. But this film is not just about a man and his political conquests.

He’s an important historical figure in India, so much so that his tales are a part of school curriculum. It’s selling the same-old love triangle formula, but it has some fascinating progressive themes ticking under the hood. The poetic images in Bajirao Mastani can leave you spellbound. You will rarely see a more stunning compilation of visuals in a film. It’s replete with flaws, it depicts its own version of history but it does so with masterful finesse. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is an artist and Bajirao Mastani is his labour of love. Yet, it’s always beautiful and enchanting. Cast: Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka ChopraĪ wise man once said that the secret to attraction is locked up in our unique imperfections, flaws and frailties.
