Bajirao Mastani

Ranveer plays the current day Peshwa -prime minister (Bajirao), Deepika the loving Nizami (Mastani), Priyanka the grieving first consort of the great Peshwa minister.

Priyanka is pictured when she's jealous and vanishes when Bajirao and Mastani love. Ranveer exudes a mature poise of a warrior in parts, but can't contain his innate flirtatious body language which doesn't suit the gait of a Peshwa warrior in most parts. He's more used as a lover boy of Sanjay Leela Bansali, who has been flown back in time machine to flaunt his ancient Manyavar kurtas and worked out body, in scenes not involving the battlefield. But his energy levels are uncontainable in scenes involving battles.

In the song Malhari, He would bowl over any human being with his obliterating bundles of energy. The guy can act and it's a fact. While Deepika uses her eyes to force a dagger into our hearts, Ranveer helps her delve with all his energies focused on finishing the move. Such is the fantabulous chemistry between the lead couple.

Inspired by Dewani Mastani, i'm helping myself to a layman's literary piece;

Here goes nothing -
While she strikes a chord with her mandolin, her eyes pierce his heart with the precision of a Olympian Javelin throw, he is sat there not knowing he has lost his heart in the vicinity of his legally wedded wife (Priyanka), to this dancing damsel, who demanded his heart and conquered it, amidst traditions. While her reflections are mirrored onto his heart, his soul is awakened with the enlightenment of love, unconquerable by the hatred of religion, un-swerved by his devotion to country, unfettered his soul roams around her and into her heart, waiting to be the humble abode of his chivalrous love.

My bit ends.

Coming back to the point-

It's just unapologetic love, knowing not the colour of religion nor the bloodshed of battle or the cruel fate scripted by the director :) This couple is an embodiment of love that Bhansali's dreams could conquer and fund:)

Fun Fact - As per wiki, he died of heart attack while inspecting his jagirs. Now Mr. Bhansali likes to taint history for his own story, he likes to kill, buzzkill love and make a memorial Taj out it. Why not, maybe history books would go for his version after all :) I'm using smileys so that you could laugh like in English sitcoms, they presume Indians don't know when to smile :)

Red alert, for Bajirao commands and conquers, fights and honours, loves and hampers,  dies then we go bonkers. We have blinkers and there's poetry thrown around hither and thither, while love and fight get-together. Bansali is so obsessed with failed love that he pens a tragic poetry dedicated to the moment of casualty.

Nothing new in it, it's text book love tragedy served to you with a Mughlai flavour on a Maratha highway eatery that names itself "Peshaworry rest or rent".

I'd still go watch it for rambunctious Ranveer's unfathomable energy and indomitable acting, Deepikas eyes and her subdued predicament owing to love. But then how many would get a chance to stage their love like this lavishly. Guess Eros will be eroded shortly, but Deewani Mastani is still worth it. Hope Bhansali becomes the director of songs for SS Rajamouli's movies
