Bajirao Mastani trailer: Why it leaves you spellbound

The trailer of Bajirao Mastani is being hailed as one of the best trailers to have left us spellbound! The Sanjay Leela Bhansali film is set for a mega box-office clash with Rohit Shetty’s Kajol-SRK starrer Dilwale on December 18. Riding high on action, emotions and drama, the trailer has all that it takes you to give goosebumps every time you watch it. Check out the key ingredients that shout out loud in the impressive promo.

Grandeur in true sense:

Bajirao Mastani seems to have all that takes it at par with films like Mughal-E-Azam and Jodhaa Akbar. With the strong echo of ‘Ji re ji re ji ji re baji’ in the background, the trailer captivates the audience with its grandeur, opulent sets, dusty war scenes and poetic dialogues. Moments like Ranveer Singh catching an arrow midway and Deepika Padukone lying unconscious on a horse give you the gooseflesh.

Dialogues:

The dialogue in the 3 minute-45-second-long trailer have impressed Bhansali fans immensely. Poetic dialogue makes the trailer all the more powerful. Deepika’s dialogue, ‘Kiski talwar par sar rakhoon, ye bata do mujhe. Ishq karna agar khata hai to saza do mujhe,’ makes us want to congratulate the dialogue writer of the magnum opus. Whereas Ranveer Singh’s one liner ‘Cheetey ki chaal, baaz ki nazar aur Bajirao ki talwar par sandeh nahi karte. Kabhi bhi maat de sakti hai,’ is every bit intriguing and impressive as he masters the accent too.

Battlefield:

Sanjay Leela Bhansali takes the audience to the battlefield as soon as we spot Bajirao (Ranveer Singh) riding his horse towards the enemy in full armor and army with saffron flags. But the drama doubles as (Mastani) Deepika Padukone matches up to him on another horse with the wind in her hair. Bringing back memories of war movies like Baahaubali, Bajirao Mastani is not just drama and glamour. This time, action has a newfound place in a Bhansali film.

Performances:

It appears that Bajirao Mastani runs high on performances and the film’s power-packed trailer drops enough hints to point this. While Ranveer Singh bowls us over with an authentic accent, Deepika Padukone’s expressionless dialogue delivery leaves us amazed. The manner in which Priyanka Chopra holds herself with dignity and confidence in the silk navvaris makes us wonder at her ability to switch between roles in this film and her TV show, Quantico.
