Review of the movie Bajirao Mastani

Review of the movie Bajirao Mastani

This movie directed by Sanjay Lila Bhansali. In this movie he tries to highlighted many issues like family, religion, nationality, caste, etc. There are some major characters like Bajirao, Mastani, Kashi, Nana, Ma sahib, Krishnaji Bhatt, etc. These all characters are real in the sense all have their plus and minus points. Concept of education differs in various times like in old age King learnt Talvarbazi, Ghode savari, etc. Now a days stories, poems, mathematics, technology, computers, etc. So in that sense Mastani  is educated because she know Talvarbaji and all those things while Kashi don’t know it. So we can also see it while educating their children. Mastani give the knowledge of bravery, role model, etc. While Kashi goes to listening ‘Kirtan’ with her child, she gives religious knowledge. As same in our society also we can say that

‘ Ek bhanelo dikaro ek kul ne tare, Jyare bhaneli dikari tran kul ne tare’

If mother is educated properly then she teaches rational, technological, freedom, etc. But uneducated woman teaches religious things, rules of society, faith in God, etc to her child. So we can see that issue also in the movie.

Then another issue is related with caste or religion. Krishnaji Bhatt is a character like ‘Thekedar of Religion’ while Bajirao and Mastani is different than him. And it not means that all Brahmins are like Krishna Bhatt because there is one another Brahmin character like Shivaji Bhatt. He saves the life of Mastani through telling Kashi but than what happened with him? He killed by his own caste. So generally the function of religion is to save the people not to kill the people. Because after all ‘Religious is for people, people is not for religious’. And because of these all things Individual person suffers lot in between these all things.

So after all life is like these lines as under,

“Jivan e koi talav jevu bandhiyar jal nathi pan ek

Uchlata, kudta, najuk, namna, jarna jevu che…”

Thus, it is good movie and we can learn many things from this if we wish.
