Bajirao Mastani Review  

Director Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali means every frame must have been like painting and it is true…  

Director Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali means every frame must have been like painting and it is true here also but he got carried away in visually grandeur rather that enhancing emotional quotient. Screenplay by Prakash Kapadia and Director himself, is either flat, repetitive or over board, like the scene where Baji Rao puts hid hot dagger on Mastani wound, what was the purpose of conceiving it, was it for care, cure or just an excuse for first hug!? After being touched with hot dagger I am unable to understand how can one think of love and even with that person!? In intro scene she also gives a cut mark which was one note above. Dialogues by Prakash Kapadiya are gems, very meaningful and worthy. Like when Mastani justifies the value of color, or confront conversation between Kashi Bai and Mastani are fantastic. I couldn't get the walking in pond metaphor, like Baji Rao walking in home pond when he meets Nizam of Dakkhin, then meeting with Mastani and then Kashi Bai pulling him into a pond to walk? In anger, love and care always he prefers to walk in water!!! In any emotional scenes it rains heavily, it is an easy way for any creative person to think rain scenes, when they are unable to make audience to shed tears by inducing correct emotions they try to hide behind rain drops. I was just untouched with the main love track of Baji Rao and Mastani. It was very shallowly established. A scene, where Kashi Bai tries to blow off Deeya in front of Baji Rao is very good, fresh and has loads of emotions but then goes over board in another metaphor by showing ageless small cut mark on neck of Baji Rao by Mastani, because it was done by his love interest? Very often film faintly reminds of Mughl-E-Azan and prominently Devdas, even in back ground, dance of both rival heroines or in dialogues, climax just hammer you to must remind. First half is very slow, pre climax is intense and emotional but again drags badly in over stretched climax. Rather than showing good scenes to establish character or conflict they just start showing songs, which worsens the already slow pace. Performance wise Ranveer Singh as Baji Rao, is OK. Somehow I am not totally convinced by his performance of portraying such a historical heavy character but he needs special appreciation for his fine nuances of Marathi accent in dialogues. Deepika Padukone as Mastani, is par excellence. She is just astonishing in every frame with full of emotions on face and in voice. Priyanka Chopda as Kashi Bai, is very impressive. Milind Soman is good. Music by Director himself is OK. Two tracks "Main Deewani Mastani" and "Aayat" are melodious

One of the best performance by Bansali Sir Ever . Project it as the third spin off from a trilogy started from Hum dil de chuke sanam and Devdas where Salman and Shahrukh Stealed the show , but here Deepika did . Ranveer and Priyanka were lovely to watch but Deepika was far better . Belonging to such a strong and non-entertaining genre , it did entertained us and I will highly recommend you to watch this . Some may have rated it down (Fan wars or something) but believe me , it will show a spike and gradually may end up around 8 or something . Deserves your bucks and after watching it , you will for sure oblige Bhansali Sir to the magic he brought back that was missing from Bollywood for the past few years . Story 9/10 Songs 9/10 Dialogues 10/10 Acting 9/10 Direction 10/10 Overall 9/10

Ranveer acting was great direction and music was superb Deepika looking beautiful location screen great a must watch a movie for everyone in your life everything is great go watch... Priyanka Chopra, on the other hand, is the better performer of the two in this film. Priyanka's Kashibai loves her husband to death. Each time Priyanka looks at Ranveer Singh her face lights up like a brightly-lit skyline. When Bajirao falls in love with another woman Kashibai doesn't surrender to destiny. She is no walkover. She protests. She sneers. She is angry. But finally for the sake of her husband's happiness and the larger good, she accepts the situation. Kashibai teaches us the most important lesson of this film. Acceptance of injustice is sometimes the opposite of cowardice. Priyanka conveys all these emotions with near-flawless comprehension of her character's inner world. This is her best to date.

Bajirao Mastani is sheer brilliance! An epic film that leaves you wanting for more.Realism as a word and theme remains obsolete in the exquisitely crafted world of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's fantasies.Visuals are elephantine.his characteristic style narrates his version of the story in a Mughal-e-azamesque scale of grandiosity, replete with breathtakingly beautiful sets (by Bhansali, Sujit Sriram and Saloni) elaborate and well thought of costumes and accessories (by Anju Modi) and dreamy cinematography. music, screenplay, acting, dialogues and the beautiful story of 3 complex characters - everything is magnificent and spectacular! This movie is poetry in motion, easily one of the most epic tales in Indian history being translated in such a classy yet relatable manner on screen! Each scene and each dialogue gets the viewers completely hooked! People were involved and taken back into the 18th century - such was the appeal of the movie! Ranveer is unbelievable

I absolutely loved the film. Chose it over Dilwale and did not regret any of it! The movie was fantastic! Ranveer was phenomenal along with Deepika who looked gorgeous. Priyanka also did a wonderful job. Overall it was very entertaining and just beautifully done! I had wished that maybe it would be a bit longer because I felt the ending was cut straight to the chase but it wasn't too bad. The story was beautifully told as well! Ayat by Arijit is a fantastic song along with the others like Deewani Mastani etc. I understand that the story may not be everyone's cup of tea but it was a film that seemed like they tried to perfect the details in and the hero of the film was definitely Ranveer overall. I do not consider myself a Ranveer fan but after today I do respect the guy for his amazing work in Bajirao. Him and Deepika have great chemistry and the storyline that much more believable. Highly recommend it!

I went to see this film while my wife was at the ballet. I don't watch many Bollywood films, and usually the lighter kind, so I was coming to this film with almost no context. Also, to me, this was a foreign language, subtitled film so I missed any subtleties of language. I really liked it. It was a true epic, wonderfully staged with seamless CGI and a consistent mellow look and feel to it. The leads (and lots of others) were really handsome/beautiful, and excellent actors. The dancing and singing was great and the story was well told. The costumes were sumptuous - Mughal miniatures come to life. To an Australian this was of course an exotic film, so although it was slow there was always something to be looking at and wondering about. On the con side, the Hindu / Moslem theme was hammered home rather obviously, the Brahmin priests were one-dimensionally nasty, and (apart from one boatman) everything took place in a idyllic palace bubble - punctuated by a few battles. However I would recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy an epic cinematic experience Indian-style.
