First half of the movie is really enjoyable, but second half turns slow, some weak points of the movie :-
1. Loose script at many places.
2. Bajirao is depicted more eccentric than an intelligent warrior.
3. Mastani looked like tharki
4. Dialogue delivery at some places seemed robotic, even in the songs lazy lip-syncing.
5. I failed to understand when Bajirao and Mastani fell seriously in love, their facial expressions and scenes were pointing that it was not more than a flirty affair ! may be due to the lack of better acting/script ?
Plus points :-
1. Sets
2. Costumes
3. Visuals and shots
4. Good direction in the first half and music.
5. Theme and plot.
Acting wise points :- Ranvir - 3/5, Deepika - 2/5 , Priyanka - 3.5/5 not more than it
Overall a good watch @ticket.

Yeah ! it also contains PK like anti-Hindu rhetoric due to which the protagonist dies.Loved the opening dialogue - "Apni Dharti, apna raaj, Shivaji ka ek hi sapna, Hindu swaraj".
That must have given seizures to liberals. I don't know how that passed through the censor.
Worst line by far was "Our (Marathas) fight is against the Mughul Sultanate. Not against Islam." Bhansali made Baji Rao into a pseudo secular. This is what Baji Rao actually said :-
I wish they had shown more about Maharaja Chattarsaal but that would take a whole movie on its own.
