it makes so much sense for deepika, who is so quiet and reserved and graceful and elegant and poised and just light on her feet, to be with ranveer, who contradicts her in all of that – being so loud, colourful, so comfortable in being unconventional, a full gossip girl. a born doing bhangra boy. they just make the opposites attract trope all the more real honestly

Bajirao Mastani: The Plight of the Cheating Husband
Follow me on Instagram: @thatguyanesejournalist
Let’s talk about Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani.
Bajirao is a Hindu Peshwa (minister to the king of the Maratha empire) who falls in love with Mastani, a Muslim warrior princess, while married to his wife Kashibai. The movie centers around Bajirao and Mastani’s interfaith relationship and the opposition against it from Bajirao’s conservative Hindu family.
I would like to start off this post by saying I support polygamy/polyamory, just not in the way it’s presented here. Let’s call it like it is: Bajirao and Mastani’s relationship would be cute as hell if he wasn’t cheating on his wife. I’d like to give Mastani the benefit of the doubt and say she initially didn’t know Bajirao was married, but I don’t think that would’ve stopped her since she still accepted his condition that Kashi will always remain his first wife.
One thing I admire the film for doing is creating sympathy for Kashibai, especially in her and Bajirao’s last scene together in her bedchambers (one of my favorite scenes in the film). She didn’t ask for much, but ended up expecting very little from her husband in the loyalty department.
I’ll be honest, though, I adored Mastani’s character. She was strong and independent, even fighting side-by-side with Bajirao in the war. She wanted a man, but didn’t necessarily need one. While I don’t agree with her going all the way to Pune for him, Mastani clearly showed that she’s determined to get what she wants and will find multiple methods to achieve it.
Plot aside, I absolutely loved the movie. Not only were there two strong female characters that I felt were well-developed as the movie went on, but the dialogue is on a different level of poetic and impactful at the same time. It makes you cry (or was it just me?) when mixed with the grand visuals and subtle but emotionally moving acting performances. Here are some of my favorite lines/moments:
“I cherish your every offering, be it an anklet or a son.” - Mastani
“Perhaps you forget that idols in temples are often adorned in green and saffron sheets cover the purest Sufi tombs. Where is the thought of color and religion then?” - Mastani
The scene where Mastani fights people in Mastani Mahal, holding her son in one hand and a sword in the other (makes me think of the Goddess Durga)
The entire ending where Bajirao is fighting his inner demons in the river (one of the most visually meaningful/cinematic scenes I’ve seen)
To me, there are no misses on the soundtrack, which was composed by Bhansali and Sanchit Balhara. In fact, I had a hard time curating the song suggestion list but I decided to pick the songs I ended up drifting towards.
Mohe Rang Do Laal (it gives me "Kaahe Chhed Mohe" vibes, Deepika's dance in this song is very graceful imo)
Aaj Ibaadat
Aayat
The movie is 158 minutes long (2 hours and 38 minutes). Stream it here, grab a snack, and enjoy!

roop ya gun?
gun.
aur roop?
wo to dekhne wali ki aankhon me hota hai.
arthaat?
kisi ko patthar me shivling dikhta hai aur kisi ko shivling me bhi patthar.
jeevan ka varnan teen shabdon me?
amrit, prem, aur tyaag.
prem kya hai?
ishwar ki aankh me ubhra hua khushi ka aansu.
aansu kya hai?
sukh aur dukh ki hadd.
sukh kya hai?
bhram.
ranbhoomi me sabse bada shastra kya hai?
himmat.
jeevan me sabse kathin ghadi?
pariksha ke baad parinaam ki.
aur sabse badi bhet?
aashirvaad.
one of my favourite scenes from the movie <3
padmaavat, 2018
