Bajirao Mastani is gonna complete a year of its release on 18th. Cant forget this time period last year.
On the other side was the much awaited Dilwale which Bajirao Mastani appeared as the underdog.
I know for the fact that most of SRk-KAJOL fans or the people who have grown up in 90's were although supporting Dilwale but from within were rooting for Bajirao-mastani and eager to watch it. Reason was SLB's awesome story telling and more importantly SRK-KAJOL chemistry which was being helmed by an action-comedy director not YRF or Dharma, plus moreover they are getting old, the cheesy romance wont suit their age .What they did in DDLJ and KKHH wont suit again in 2015.
Coming back to Bajirao-mastani, I am one of the big Sanjay leela bhansali fans. His every frame was a poetry, Last year this period was also about fan fights. The bajirao camp and its fans although were confident of its product but they knew Dilwale team was a big brand. The fear came true on the release date when Dilwale opened big numbers compared to Bajirao Mastani. Paid previews and critics knew dilwale was a shit but some still praised it. But one verdict and bhavishyavaani was also out that its BAJIRAO MASTANI whichh is gonna be the winning horse.
On the release date I went to the cinema theatre that morning early at around 8pm ,It was 18 december. 8:30 am show. The multiplex was 70% full. As the film started all audiences went ecstatic.
Even after a year i am watching the pinga dance . Dola re dola was more Hit than pinga but i will say pinga is very difficult. I heard many people say in last one year in school dance programs, college festivals, cultural programs , or other cultural programs that happens in our country, very few did pinga performance cause the dance is very difficult . But the dance shot by remo, sLB and the effort by Dips and priyanka was just too too good. Love watching deewani mastani, malhari, mohe rang do laal. Not always but watching those beautifuuly shot visuals is appealing even after a year. Even if you all watch Bajirao-mastani trailer even today it still looks refreshing.
WAtching the priyanka scenes are just awesome .The Gajanana sequence .Mindblowing
The basic point for me is generally we watch films and forget as we keep complaining how hindi cinema is just now time pass material... but after a long time i was hooked with a film for a year and even now i can watch it. Tanu weds manu is also good but scenes dont stay with you for long .But in case of Bajirao-mastani the scenes are still intact, the choreography the sets...evrything.
The christmas weekend last year brought smiles to all SLB fans as the film had left behind dilwale in indian territory..
This year its so quiet. Dangal looks good but i think we have seen such kind of topics in the form of Sultan, Mary Kom, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. The srtuggle of an athlete. Just the stories are weaved differently.
Now waiting for PADMAVATI. i hope slb brings Priyanka for an item song. Want the hit trio- Ranveer-Priyanka-Deepika to be back like ram leela and bajirao-mastani.
