They swiftly stepped into their characters. Even the supporting cast of Mahesh Manjrekar as Chhatrasal Shahu, Vaibhav Tatwawdi as Bajirao’s brother Chimaji and Milind Soman as Bajirao’s friend and advisor add gravity to the story. Tanvi Azmi plays Ranveer’s mom with such power and elegance that she makes you fear her. Priyanka’s subtle performance adds grace to her character of Kashibai, the Peshwa’s first wife.
Dressed like a soldier, she moves forward kicking and slashing Ranveer’s soldiers. She makes a dashing entry as she attacks the Peshwa (Ranveer) in his own camp when his attendants do not allow her to meet him. The actors offer relief in this period saga, especially Deepika as she enters the scene with sparkling brilliance, stepping up the tempo every time she is in the frame. When Priyanka visits Deepika in Peshwa’s kingdom, Deepika tells her: “Aapne yaha aa ke Bundelkhand ki is najayaz beti ko sindoor jitna jayaz bana diya.” Bajirao Mastani is a lengthy film that moves at a snail’s pace, in signature Bhansali style.
Ibadat ke liye ijazat nahi li jaati.” When Deepika and Priyanka come together in the frame, it is the perfect balance of bright presence and subtle acting in the frame.
Then, Deepika’s mom tries to convince her not to go to Ranveer, reminding her that he already has a wife.ĭeepika: “Patni to Radha bhi nahi thi, lekin Krishna ke saath log yaad use hi karte hain.”ĭeepika: “Aur ishq ibadat. When parting ways after meeting for the first time, Deepika tells Ranveer: “Tujhe yaad kar liya hai ayat ki tarah, ab zikra hoga tera ibadat ki tarah.” Credit must be given to Anju Modi, Deepika’s designer, who adds to Mastani’s elegant and beautiful persona with her well-crafted dresses. The dialogues, overladen with lyricism, are more likely to be mocked than paid heed to. That message could not have been timed better, given the current situation in the country. Replete with references of Akhand Bharat, the film repeats time and again that religion should not become greater than human beings or love. Read: Pak says Bajirao Mastani against Islam, bans it For example, one of Ranveer Singh’s dialogues has doobta sooraj, khilta chand, bewaqt ki baarish, dharm ki zanjeer and mohabbat ki aag in one single sentence! The dialogues seem more like an ensemble of Hindi words than boasting of the lyricism the filmmaker seems to have aimed for. The lyrical dialogues and literary brilliance of the dialogues bog the story down with overindulgence instead of striking the audience in awe of the grandeur at show.
(Eros)īajirao Mastani is a lengthy film that moves at a snail’s pace, in signature Bhansali style. Deepika Padukone’s scintillating performance is balanced by Priyanka Chopra’s subtle acting as Bajirao’s first wife Kashibai. However, he makes it a tiring affair: Laden with the burden of self-indulgence and dramatic “dialoguebaazi”, the film drags on at its own sweet and laid-back pace. With Mastani’s scarcely recorded history, Bhansali had a beautiful premise of a love story that has never been explored onscreen. Mohabbat khud hi dharm hai” (All religions teach love, love has no religion and it is a religion in itself) - that is what Sanjay Leela Bhansali aims to preach with Bajirao Mastani that hits theatres on Friday.īajirao Mastani explores the romantic side of 18th-century Maratha general Bajirao Ballal Bhat, who fought and won 40 battles against the Mughals with an aim to create a unified Hindu kingdom or Akhand Bharatvarsha (united Bharat). “Duniya ka har dharm mohabbat sikhata hai, Mohabbat ka koi dharm nahi hota.
