Peshwa Bajirao || The Great Fault List ||

Hey guys!
Amreen here. I used to watch the show initially but then Rudra Soni's performance wasn't convincing for me. I found him a bit too dramatic while as far as I have read about Bajirao, he was not too much of a melodramatic person. Obviously, this is purely my personal opinion. Anyway, I started watching this once again because Karan as grown up Baji looked a bit too eye pleasing in the promos. But unfortunately, except for the brilliant performances of Karan, Rajeshwari ji and Ishita, even when the scripts seem a bit too haywire, the show isn't able to gain my interest. Manipulating historical shows/movies isn't new and quite acceptable because it sometimes makes them even more interesting. But I, according to my knowledge, feel that the writers have messed up with the story a bit too much.
So I'll try to list out my points about fhe faults and errors in the show.

1. First of all Bajirao is shown to be around the age of 19 or 20. By this time he was/ to be appointed as Peshwa.
Also around this time Nanasaheb aka Balaji Bajirao was born. Exact date is said to be 8th December 1720. (Rao was born in 1700). Today they confirmed Baji is 19. That means the makers are gonna show Peshwa's appointment ceremony, Baji and Kashi's relationship, love, consummation, Kashi's pregnancy and Nana's birth in a very fast and haphazard motion. I hope I am wrong.

2. Second is 'the' Mastani's entry. Considering the fact that Krishna Rao aka Shamsher Bahadur was born in 1734 (a few months earlier/later than Raghunath Rao), Mastani should have entered his life in 1732 or 1733 approximately, when he was the age of 32-33. And considering how educated, skillful and modern she was for that time, she might have come into Rao's life at the age of 20-22 approx. That means now, that is in the period that the CVs are showing, Mastani should be a kid of 7-8 years and not how they are showing her to be.

3. That also means she'll have to wait for another 15-16 years to enter into Rao's life which seems impossible considering how the makers are dying to show Mastani and his love story to the viewers instead of concentrating on his relationship with Kashi so that Nanasaheb can be born.

4. As I said Mastani entered Rao's life when Rao was about 32-33, that means at the time of Mastani's entry Nanasaheb should be around 12-13. Exactly as shown in the movie. Remember the scene where Baji visits Ainaa Mahal for the first time. (Rudra Soni has played young Nanasaheb in the movie).

5. And at last, Mastani's mom. Her name was Ruhaani bai and not Suraiyya Begum as everyone in the show keeps calling her. What the hell is that?

So that's it for now. I said 'for now' because I am very sure they are gonna keep erring a few (hopefully) more times in the show. And of course I will try to point them out. I am hoping to know your views on this fault list and let me know if I missed out any thing.


P.S. According to me point 3 is the biggest blunder the CVs have commited. It's almost irreversible and I don't how are they gonna justify it.

Till then,
Love ❤️ ,
Ciao

@Ishqbaaz - I so agree with u there but what's the point in us ranting when the makers have anyways decided to screw the show?

Exactly!!! 😭
That makes me wanna slap the writers hard! Is there any way we can tell the writers about this??

In the future is this show going to be a clone of SLB's Bajirao-Mastani? Probably, as the plot is already heavily rigged in favour of the duo. Maybe the producers are fans of that romance! Why else would they fabricate so much and ignore Bajirao's illustrious career as a cavalry general?

Having watched another show from this same PH and the pre leap episodes of PB, I expected the show to stay true to its title Peshwa Bajirao. But alas, it is turning more into Bajirao Mastani  I have almost stopped watching the show.
