Bajirao Mastani casts Ranveer as the Maratha leader Peshwa Bajirao I, Deepika as his warrior queen Mastani and Priyanka as his first wife Kashibai. It has also been received well by the critics. In his review for NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee wrote, "Bajirao Mastani is, in many respects, Bhansali's most subversive film to date. Its central message is that all religions preach love but love has no religion."
For Dilwale, Mr Chatterjee wrote, "To put it simply, Dilwale is a bizarre love story. SRK has done his share of bizarre love stories in his time, but this one just doesn't get off the ground despite the superstar's best efforts."
