Which historical will be considered a classic after 20 years?

Vote.

You should have added Padmavat too. I personally liked Padmavat more than Bajirao Mastani.

I hope you are not trying to influence the result by pitting the less favourable option against your favourite😆

I thought cult classic means a failure that later gains a dedicated following by a certain group of people...

A movie has to have been overlooked or under seen in order to later become a cult film. Both these films were successful the first time around. After 13 years JA is probably already considered a classic.

Cult classic is when it gains popularity over the years. Neither of these films were flops critically or financially.

A better poll would be among Jazbaa, Raavan, Raincoat ( this might already be a cult film)

OR Befikre, Bombay Velvet, Kalank

JA won the poll.

Nobody really talks about or even calls Bajirao Mastani or Padmaavat great films apart from maybe Ranveer and Deepika fans.

More chances of Tanhaji ending up being a classic because it's a better movie than the above two.

I doubt Jodhaa Akbar can be considered a classic either.

None of them are cult classics.

Jodha Akbar.Bajirao Mastani was meh TBH, Priyanka was the only good thing about it.

Neither, I don't get why this that stale JA considered some sort of masterpiece.
