Just saw his Shukracharya look. Dude went from the cold menace of Dhurandhar to this in what feels like no time. There’s something about his face that just works for literally EVERYTHING. Give him a historical, villain, grey character, comedy, whatever, he somehow fits.

IMO:
I’ll tolerate everything else even shahid’s downhill track on his career but I cannot tolerate Kriti trying to be as cool as Veronica (can’t help but compare) horrendous and a pure insult to Veronica..

Not hating it for the sake of hating

Honestly doesn’t work for me so far so sharing some thoughts

I really hope Aamir takes up such scripts. He genuinely has the acting chops and talent to pull off character roles. I think Srk will stick to action flicks for a while and Salman will keep doing any subpar film as long as his gems from Berozgaar yojna are casted along with him.

I loved her chemistry with Abhishek and Saif. It just felt so natural. These days we barely see pairs with genuinely good chemistry, but I feel Rani was one of those actresses who could look good and have chemistry with literally anyone.

1. Rani and Aish

2. Anushka and Kat

3. Lisa and Kangana

4. Preity and Rani

5. Tabu and Shilpa

Mastani deserved a better movie.

PADMAVATI WAS ALSO SECOND WIFE BUT SHE IS’NT MADE TO LOOK LIKE A HOMEWRECKER.

the historical tradition strongly supports that Mastani faced serious hostility from Bajirao’s family.

It was a political settlement because of which Mastanis life became hell. she is actually a victim but is made to look like a desperate homewrecker and kashi her victim of the entire situation Kashi actually lived a more fulfilled life while Mastani had to face trials and tribulations how is Kashi a victim in all this?

I think Bajirao Mastani did justice to Mastani as a cinematic character, but probably not to Mastani as a historical woman. The movie’s Mastani speaks and behaves like a contemporary heroine who is essentially fighting for individual romantic freedom. Bajirao Mastani is marketed as a story about Bajirao and Mastani, but emotionally, the film is structured to make the audience deeply sympathize with Kashibai. And that changes how we perceive the whole situation. Bajirao was a powerful 18th-century aristocratic man. Polygynous relationships among elite men weren’t an extraordinary concept in that social world. So the existence of another wife/consort wasn’t, by itself, the shocking part.
So even though Kashibai is the wife who has to share her husband, the narrative frequently positions her as the person who deserves our greatest sympathy.
And that’s not necessarily historically unreasonable—she undoubtedly suffered emotionally. But the film makes her suffering the emotional centre of the story, while Mastani’s suffering becomes almost a consequence of the romance.
So the conflict wasn’t simply: “Kashibai is a wife and Mastani is stealing her husband.”
It was much more complicated.
And I think the movie sometimes makes it feel like Kashibai’s suffering is caused primarily by Mastani’s existence, rather than by the decisions of the man who chose to maintain both relationships. The title makes you expect Bajirao and Mastani to be the two central characters. But when you actually watch it, Mastani gets surprisingly little opportunity to exist as an independent character. Her character has screen time of only 10-12 minutes half of it which is songs!

The movie makes it look almost like Mastani enters Bajirao’s life as a romantic pursuit: she arrives, attracts him, and becomes the woman who enters an already-established marriage. That inevitably creates a “wife vs. other woman” framework.

There’s another problem with the movie’s romanticization
The film makes Mastani and Bajirao’s relationship look like this almost inevitable, overwhelming love story.
And yes, they may genuinely have loved each other.
But love doesn’t necessarily have to be the beginning of the relationship.
It is entirely possible for a relationship to begin through political circumstances and subsequently develop into genuine affection.
In fact, that’s arguably a much more interesting story.
Mastani could have started as part of a political settlement and eventually become the woman Bajirao genuinely loved while simultaneously becoming the woman his family desperately wanted removed.

The movie made audience hate a historical person who deserves respect sympathy and justice at least in death.

PS : I had many more points but I lost patience

Do you guys have any hope and expectations from SRK-Siddharth Anand’s ’KING’? From what we‘ve got to see of it so far, it looks like yet another Pathaan-style cheesy camp masala movie.

And Siddharth Anand’s last movie ’FIGHTER’ too was doubling down on that formula.

Could ‘KING’ turn out to be good?

I like to consider this film fiction rather than a biopic. It felt more like a glorification of a grown ass man as a victim of circumstances, while downplaying the fact that many of those circumstances were consequences of his own choices. He had immense privilege and opportunities, yet the film often seemed more interested in making us sympathize with him than holding him accountable.

Maybe in the future, we'll get a biopic about Salman Bhoi showing how he was a misunderstood victim all along and how we should sympathize with him too. 😂
