Rating: 10/10
This movie had already garnered expectations of epic proportions due to
the cast, crew and the director, Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali. This movie
had been in the making for over a decade and hence had already created
ample curiosity in the moviegoers minds.
After watching the movie, I was at a loss of words. I don't even know
where to begin! The music, screenplay, acting, dialogues and the
beautiful story of 3 complex characters - everything is magnificent and
spectacular! This movie is poetry in motion, easily one of the most
epic tales in Indian history being translated in such a classy yet
relatable manner on screen! Each scene and each dialogue gets the
viewers completely hooked! People were involved and taken back into the
18th century - such was the appeal of the movie!
The acting is PHENOMENAL! Ranveer Singh has always delivered fabulous
performances, but this performance will be remembered until the end of
his career as the performance that catapulted him into the hearts of
the Indian cinema lovers. He has done a beyond brilliant job and as a
viewer, we laugh, cry and root for him throughout the movie! He's the
out and out star of the film. Priyanka Chopra is her usual magnificent
self, nothing else can be expected of her after delivering award
winning performances in Barfi and Mary Kom. She lights up the scenes
she's in. It's amazing how she's good at dance, acting and emoting on
screen! Her pain as Bajirao's first wife is captivating and makes the
viewers feel for her! What else can be said about the ruling queen of
Bollywood, Deepika Padukone, that hasn't already been written!! She is
a spectacle all by herself! She makes us cry, laugh, weep, and look at
her in awe! She's fabulous in the kathak number, "mohe rang do laal"
and she shines in every scene of the film! Especially in the scene
where she meets kashibai and in the scene where she is jailed! Her eyes
are truly the window to Mastani's soul! She matches Ranveer''s energy
and their chemistry is undoubtedly historic and classic! What fabulous
acting! The supporting cast is a marvel in itself, Tanvi Azmi as
Bajirao's mother is fantastic! Her acting abilities are par excellence,
couldn't have imagined anyone else in that role!
The music, costumes, scenery, sets and decor are exquisite! Nothing
less can be expected from an SLB film! This movie is easily one of the
top 5 cinema experiences in the past 10 years! It excels in both
content and creativity! I will definitely be watching the movie again,
it's simply addictive and outstanding and leaves a lasting impression
on the viewers mind. A 10/10 experience! Loved it.
