Sets, Ranveer shine, not the story!

Apart from the stunning visuals, it is Ranveer Singh that brings life into the film with his almost perfect portrayal of BajiraoBallalPeshwa! With an amazing body language and the Marathi dailect he picked up, he owns the character. (more)

Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Mallika Dutt Gharde] adorn the film with fascinating characters and inspirational sub-plots that advance into a stunning culmination.
