Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali employs this signature approach, whilst heavily referencing his ideal Mughal-E-Azam, in retelling the taboo romance between Peshwa warrior Bajirao and his second wife, Mastani.
My eyes are still giddy from the splendour( camerawork Sudeep Chatterjee) they witnessed - in the lamp-lit incandescence of the 18th century Maratha Empire; the barren, blood-embracing landscapes laid out for battle; the aureate reflections of the Aaina Mahal, the ethereal quality of a Raja Ravi Verma painting seen in Kashi's, Bajirao's first wife, backyard. It's all immensely satisfying, even if not adequate for the soul.
Not for one moment does one fail to see the effort that's gone into scaling this fancy-schmancy spectacle.
