These words encapsulate the essence of Bajirao, a character that transcended the screen and found a permanent place in the hearts of audiences worldwide. However, beyond the individual brilliance of the leads Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, the success of Bajirao Mastani is a testament to the storytelling of Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

The music, whether the enchanting 'Deewani Mastani,' the soul-stirring 'Aayat', the vibrant 'Pinga', or the triumphant 'Malhari', continues to evoke emotions and transport listeners to the bygone era.
