Bajirao I, who fought over 41 major battles and several lesser ones, was reputed to have never lost any of them. Bajirao is described as "RANMARD" a man made of and for the battlefield. Bajirao told his brother "Remember that night has nothing to do with sleep. It was created by God, to raid territory held by your enemy. The night is your shield, your screen against the cannons and swords of vastly superior enemy forces. " A born cavalry leader, Bajirao was unequaled for the daring and originality of his genius. Mastani, the fabled warrior princess, was the daughter of Raja Chattrasal and his Persian wife Roohani Begum. An expert dancer, singer, and warrior, Mastani is sent to battle at the head of the Bundelkhand army. A chance meeting on a battlefield where they fight on the same side puts Bajirao and Mastani on a course of passionate love that is unstoppable by their families, by war, or by death itself.
Leave your thoughts about Bajirao Mastani.
| Gulf News (UAE)Manjari SaxenaThe film hardly moves in the first hour or so, picking up speed only after the intermission -- in fact it seems a little rushed in the second half. |
| ReutersShilpa JamkhandikarThe narrative is linear and predictable, but the film comes alive when Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra are in the frame. For Singh, it is possibly the role of a lifetime and he plays Bajirao with an ease and confidence that radiates on screen. |
| The HinduNamrata JoshiSome of the more interesting Bhansali tropes add to the film's impact and appeal. But it's the trajectory and transformation of the two women that is worth noting. |
| MashableSonam JoshiIt is cinema on a grand scale, larger-than-life in terms of visual pleasure, but without the compelling narrative or emotional depth to make it memorable. |
| GuardianMike McCahillSingh's bullet-headed Bajirao, forever charging into uncharted physical and emotional terrain, marks another fine showing from one of Bollywood's most versatile leads: we spot exactly why this bad boy commands the loyalty, even lust he does. |
| Hindustan TimesAnupama ChopraThe film feels overly ceremonious, purposefully epic and, in places, a little exhausting. But hang in there. Because slowly and skillfully, Bajirao Mastani transports you. |
| Scroll.inNandini RamnathSingh's performance is an unmistakable triumph. |
| Time OutAnil SinananThe physical beauty and real acting talent of the three leads rises this to just above sud-level. Its central message that 'all religions preach love, but love has no religion' is to be commended, especially since it is still so pertinent to India today. |
| The New York TimesRachel SaltzThere’s plenty of story here, but Bajirao Mastani has more visual pop than narrative traction. |
| Hindustan TimesSweta KaushalIt can be a good one-time watch, for Deepika's performance, if not anything else. |
