must be... it's difficult to reach 300+ crs at boxoffice...
of course, it might not be for those movie lovers who are impatient and light-minded...they prefer cartoon movies... and for ranveer haters, no movie starring him can be good... 😆

It was better than Ram Leela, but definitely not better than Devdas. In Devdas, there were the glorious sets and songs but I felt for all three characters, each of them were nicely developed.

In BM, the love story itself was quite hollow...like why do Bajirao and Mastani love each other? Because he gave her a dagger and she knows how to use a sword...wow, how deep

It's a really nicely made movie.
But I don't like those two cheaters. 😳 so didn't like the story much...

Basically, what worked for the movie was: it was beautiful in appearance, Priyanka's acting, Ranveer's acting.

What was average: Deepika's acting, the story.

What was bad: the cheating part, the way they didn't show proper love story of BM.

Well made or not...just despised the characters of Bajirao/mastani...Two very selfish people...
In any movie the directors vision and task at hand is to get viewers to fall in love or atleast feel some sort attachement with the protagonsists...here you feel zilch..For me it wa s a mixture of the character sketch..and the high strung interactions and emotions that were relentless...not a moment of silence...total head banging and torturous experience to say the least..

Baji an ass...who couldn't gve a flying f***k when he had actually shacked up with Masti with deed done and sealed...only then he remembers his first wife Kashi..his so called friend and confidante too.....that she has to know what khaands he has been upto...only then can he see Masti again for some more Masti..🤪...W*F???Seriously...and then this Masti too from word go...is hell bent on her persuit of baji...even though she is fully aware that he's a married man...

I know that is how the original characters have been etched out but still...save us the torture...🤢

Apart from all that...performances were not very convincing either...Dialect etc...not upto the mark..

Yes they had the grand lavish sets and cinematography for backdrop of breathaking visuals but not enough that when you take names of the most epic love saga's of unrequited love..that Baji/masti should be spoken in the same breath as epics such as Heer Ranjha,Laila Majnu..etc..etc...


Btw...one other thing I didn't get...what was with the paan offerings before they shack up?😆

Was it meant to be symbolic of something?😕

We will know If worldwide 367 crores collection was a fluke or not.Lets not forget that BM clashed with overseas king SRK.BM did better in USA/Canada and Australia...

Nevertheless,the fact that SLB didn't get a certificate from I-F will of course remain SLB's single biggest setback😒

There's a difference between a technically well-made film and a well-made film story. In terms of technicalities, BM was made extremely well. I may be in the minority, but I think SLB actually shoots his films quite well (aside from Saawariya, the entire film was too dark). He has a solid grasp on the camera -- everything from choreography, sets, clothing, cinematography, etc. are usually considered and directed in a clear way.

Regarding the story itself, ehhh, that's debatable. I don't really think BM's love story was supposed to be seen as this ideal or anything. From my perspective, it was just to show the love story itself. Which again, through the movie, I personally thought was shown really well. I found all three characters understandable in their actions and I really enjoyed the complexities in the various relationships between the characters.

I think film is a pretty interpretative medium and hence people's perceptions differ. Especially when it comes to someone like SLB. His films are quite layered imo and not everyone enjoys it/ sees it like that.

Well! TRPs have spoken...BM got beaten by Kapil Sharma.

On topic: Techinically fine...didnt work for me as it failed to connect me to the Mastani-Bajirao love story.
