Perfomances

Bajirao played by ranveer singh is just perfect , shandaar and the best , i should say its his best perfomance till date he has carried that dynamicity and attitude of a king , coming to deepika as mastani she has been graceful and has done par justice to the role , and now priyanka chopra has been a exact match of a marathi girl and it has gone very well , the perfomances ignite the spirits and get in more interest and enthusiasm in watching the film

FINAL VERDICT

Its more than a worth watch at theatres , get going do not miss this gem of bollywood it has eveything to provide you a perfect cinematic feel .

For me the movie was all about beautiful and lavish sets and costumes. Music is also soothing and good. However, overall the story was depressing, ending on a sad note. Wonder why would you choose one for bollywood mainstream cinema. Deepika looked pretty in her costumes. Ranveer as usual was pathetic. Both Ranveer and Deepika were not convincing in their roles. The best actor in the movie was Priyanka Chopra. I wish she could have got more screen space. All in all okayish movie
