Maratha history gets the full on Sanjay Leela Bhansali treatment in Bajirao Mastani
The overwrought but impressive extravaganza elevates the legendary 18th century warrior hero determined to establish Hindu rule across the subcontinent to the level of a selfless crusader for love in a climate of hate and bigotry.Every emotion in the movie be it love, longing or valour on the battlefield is translated into a grand and elaborate song and dance routine.
Deepika is absoluetly outstanding a Mastani, a woman in a man world, a Muslim in a conservative Chitpavan Brahmin setting, and a mother driven by the power of love Bajirao Mastani is for those that think history is boring.There is not dull moment in this colourful and domestic and dramatic film that embraces excess with unabashed abandon. I like this movie and this is one of the best movie of bollywood.
