A masterpiece of love, and war, exploring the romantic side of a 18th-century Maratha general, Bajirao Ballal Bhat, a brahmin by birth and who fought and won 41 battles at a stretch against the Mughals with an aim to create a unified Hindu kingdom across India.

The glorious rule of the Peshwas, its grandeur, their culture, and the their large heartedness during those times takes us back to that era of righteous rulers which we have only learnt in our history lessons.

It opens with a Maratha emperor Chhatrapati Shahu (Mahesh Manjrekar) seeking nominations for the post of the Peshwa (a Prime Ministerial candidate). The brahmin youth Bajirao (Ranveer Singh) with his superlative display of his skill and wisdom lands him the title. History has a special mention about this Peshwa’s reputation as a warrior and statesman par excellence which is widely known.

Ranveer’s look in Bajirao Mastani

Playing a character in a period drama requires an actor to live and breathe in a different era altogether. It’s because of this that Ranveer Singh is trying unusual ways to ensure that he delivers better than his best as Peshwa Bajirao. One such method is to call him ‘Rao’ instead of Ranveer Singh on set. 

In playing Peshwa Bajirao, Ranveer Singh has taken on a once in a lifetime role; that of a fearsome Maratha warrior and a just king who is still remembered in folktales. Lots have been said about his physical & mental preparation for this part. 

In order to ensure that he stays focused while shooting, Ranveer has surprised his assistant directors with an odd request. He has asked everyone to call him ‘Rao’ and address him with the name of his character.

Gunday – Film Review Rating: ***

Action packed story of two friends, based in Kolkata of the 80s

Gunday is about the deep bonding between two guys who have faced crises and insecurities all through their childhood and then struggled for gaining a foothold in India. The friends are thrilled at merely getting the ration card issued in their names and then on they take the local mafia and become dons of the underworld in this eastern part of India.

Priyanka Chopra is the one who shines in this film. She is cute and looks hot in her songs and dances. She is the only one who appears realistic and performs her part flawlessly. Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor are too loud at times. They appear to be a bit more filmy in their characters. Irfan Khan is wasted in this film.

The most impressive work is that of child actors Darshan Gurjar and Jayesh Kardak who enact the characters of young Bikram and Bala.

Gunday has some brilliant cinematography, and much to the credit of the art department, Kolkata of the 1970s and 1980s is perfectly presented on screen.
