Perhaps aware of the numerous objections he was bound to face from the moral guardians of Indian society – indeed, there have already been calls for the film to be banned for historical inaccuracy – director Bhansali opens with a long disclaimer in the credits. When the high-caste Bajirao takes the half-Muslim Mastani as his second wife, he faces inner turmoil and opposition from everyone, especially (and entirely naturally) from his dutiful wife Kashibai (Priyanka Chopra). Sparks fly when the apparently happily married Bajirao meets feisty female warrior Mastani (Deepika Padukone). This Bollywood historical period drama explores the troubled personal life of the eighteenth-century Maratha warrior, General Bajirao (Ranveer Singh), who fought and won numerous battles against the invading Muslim Mughals with the aim of creating a unified Hindu India.
