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.
