Bajirao Mastani is a magnum opus created by the new showman of new age India.Kudos and Hatsoff to Sanjay leela Bhansali for carving such a masterpiece. The grand sets, the war sequences, the fortresses speaks tons of volumes about the hardwork and research he has done. It is truly a cinematographic delight to watch. Perfect blend of a love story and period cinema.Ranveer Singh scores yet again as the maratha ruler with hints of maratho accent and tevar coupled with his jovial persona. Deepika has looked and acted gorgeous and priyanka has created the right balance between all as a doting wife. The sets of the movie ajd the soundtracks are 10 on 10. It also mildly passes on important message on how peacefully two sects can live together. Few areas where SLB could have created wonders was the dialogues which were a lilttle raw rather than royal. Rest everythg was bang on. must watch for ethnic and royal indian cinema experience
