We all know that in 2003 Sanjay Leela Bhansali  wanted to cast Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai for the eponymous roles, but could not cast them together after their highly publicised break-up. After 12 years we are presented with his dream project and the film is surely worth the long wait.

As soon as the film starts we are struck by the grand and magnificent sets which take us to an era about which we have read in history books.

The film tells about the life of a commander who is loved and trusted by his army. He is brave and doesn't accept the norms of the society.

Ranveer Singh is the perfect choice for the role of Bajirao. Whether he is telling his army men ,'Cheeteh Ki Chaal, Baaz Ki Nazar Aur Baaji Rao Ki Talvar Par Sandeh Nahi Karte, Kabhi Bhi Maat De Sakti Hai' or saying romantic dialogues like Humare dil ek saath dhadakte hai Mastani', he says them with equal ease. We are so engrossed with his charm, exuberance and energy that we can feel his confusion, his love, his pain and his heart break.

Deepika Padukone has excelled as Mastani and looks like a real princess who believes in following her heart. All her costumes are so beautiful that we can't take our eyes off her. The moment she  makes her entry we can feel the chemistry between her and her real life boyfriend Ranveer Singh. If Katrina Kaif felt insecure after watching Deepika's chemistry with Ranbeer Kapoor in Tamasha, she should now watch Bajirao Mastani to see the real thing. She gets to say powerful dialogues in the film which will make you whistle and clap

Ishq, Jo Tufani Duniya Se Bagawat Karjaye Woh Ishq,
Bhare Darbar Mein Jo Duniya Se Lad Jaae Woh Ishq,
Jo Mehboob Ko Dekhe Toh Khuda Ko Bhul Jaae Woh Ishq.

Priyanka Chopra is touching new heights in her career these days so the only reason she must have accepted to do a supporting role can be that she was too much touched by Bhansali's dream project and wanted to be part of this epic saga. Her role is powerful but such is the aura of Mastani that it shadows all other female characters of the film.

In a line Sanjay Leela Bhansali's love sagas may bring a tear to your eye from time to time, but without tears every so often even smiles lose their meaning. 

Must be seen in theaters to experience the grandiose and magnificence of the film.
