Besides an epic love story, Bajirao Mastani offers a glimpse of grandeur of The Maratha Empire whose greatness is bereft from our history books.
Each of the three actors deserves a standing ovation for one of the finest acting-with all the distinction and precision.
The character of Baji Rao, swollen with Maratha pride and driven by the motivation to defeat the might of Mughals, found an apt answer in Ranveer Singh.
Priyanka's portrayal of an unprotected simplicity in the character of Kashi Bai and Deepika's look of stressed sensuality in Mastani are one of the immediate reasons why Sanjay Bhansali is still a master-director.
And the cinematography will beat the bejesus out of one's mind.
Baji Rao Mastani is a toast to art. Cheers!
