Bajirao Mastani (2015)

In the vibrant heart of the 18th-century Maratha Kingdom, a fearless warrior emerges from the shadows to etch his name in the annals of history. Bajirao 1, a man crafted for the battlefield, ascends to the role of Peshwa, captivating the court with his daring prowess and strategic genius. Bajirao, a born leader of the cavalry, is known for his audacious originality, carving a path of victory through 41 major battles without a single defeat. He lives by the mantra that the night, rather than a time for rest, is a divine shield for launching raids against formidable foes. In the same era, in the majestic court of Bundelkhand, the warrior princess Mastani, daughter of Raja Chattrasal and his Persian wife, Roohani Begum, reigns supreme. Not just a princess, but a skilled dancer, singer, and warrior, Mastani leads her army with the same determination that courses through Bajirao's veins. When their paths cross on a battlefield where they fight side by side, a spark ignites, setting them on a passionate journey of love that neither family ties, nor the tumult of war, nor the specter of death can extinguish. Unbeknownst to Bajirao, already married to the beloved Kashibai, he seals a symbol of marriage with Mastani during the vibrant Holi festival, gifting her his dagger as a token of admiration for her skills. The intertwining of their destinies weaves a tale of love and war, of passion and power, that transcends time and etches itself into the heart of history. Bajirao and Mastani's tale is not just a testament to their indomitable spirit but also a poignant reflection of love and duty colliding in an era of conflict and honor.
