The hashtag #BajiraoMastani trended on Twitter the entire day and perched itself atop the trends  moments after the first look released.

The four-minute long clip beautifully captures Bajirao's personal struggle with relationships amid the backdrop of battle cries and war formations. It ends with with the severely-injured Bajirao and Mastani telling each other after a valiant fight, "Hamare Dil Ek saath dhadakte hain aur ek saath rukte bhi hain."

Grand palaces, forts, characters dressed in traditional Maharashtrian ensembles recreate the era of a period film, which is only to be expected from a Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed magnum opus.
