 Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra have impressed critics with their performances in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's directorial film "Bajirao Mastani".  BAJIRAO MASTANI REVIEW. The historic period drama is worth a watch for Bhansali's direction and Deepika, Ranveer and Priyanka's performance. According to critics, Ranveer and Deepika have delivered their career best performances.   Though the cinematography and performances are brilliant, the pace of the film has got big thumbs down from critics.

He speaks in a certain Marathi accent and he is consistent at it. Priyanka Chopra shines in a couple of scenes. And Deepika Padukone proves herself yet again. The film is a good one-time watch. The first half had me strapped to my seats. It was well paced. The second half got way too weepy and self-indulgent." Tushar Joshi of BollywoodLife.com said: "Larger than life sets, dazzling costumes and some well written scenes make up for the first half of Bajirao Mastani. The dialogues will give you goosebumps. Deepika and Ranveer are on their way of giving their career best performances with BM. Manjari Saxena of Gulf News said: " First of all, it seems confused whether it should be a romance or historic film, swerving between Bajirao wanting to be the famous warrior and the eternal lover. Second, is its pace." Subhash K Jha in his review said: "Close to perfection..This film requires at least 4 viewings. Ranveer's entry ..spectacular.he looks every inch the warrior king..way to go. This is #Bhansali's best work to date passionate and riveting. #DeepikaPadukone, my God!breathtaking...such grace and sublimity on her face." Just Bollywood's review read: "Bajirao Mastani is an essentially a romantic and love story, which also has showcased a number of other elements like the political turmoil and other elements found in the life of Bajirao Pesha."  BAJIRAO MASTANI movie REVIEW.
