New movies released in Navi Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
Bajirao Mastani

Bajirao Mastani is an Indian historical romance film produced and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film narrates the story of the Maratha warrior Peshwa (Prime Minister) Bajirao I of the Maratha Empire and his second wife Mastani. Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone portray the titular protagonists, and Priyanka Chopra plays Bajirao's first wife Kashibai.
“Every religion preaches love. Love is beyond religion. And Love is a religion in itself,” is the message Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s latest offering, Bajirao Mastani, carries. The Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone’s movie is a based on the historical romance of the Maratha leader Bajirao Ballal Bhat who fought 40 battles, and won each one of them, with the Mughals and Muslim rulers of India to create a unified Hindu state or Bharatvarsha (country of Bharat). Yet the love of his life, his soulmate Mastani, was a Muslim woman – the daughter of the Chhatrasal (king) of Bundelkhand and his Muslim wife – a woman never accepted by Bajirao’s family or their religious custodians. Through the film, we see Bajirao fighting two battles: one for his country and one against his family to bring honour to his beloved. The film tries to explain that it’s not the religion Peshwa (leader) Bajirao fought against but the tyranny of the reigning clans
The film has Ranveer Singh as Bajirao I, the Second hereditary Peshwa of the Maratha Empire, from 1720 until his death, Deepika Padukone as Mastani, Priyanka Chopra as Kashibai, Bajirao's first wife, Tanvi Azmi as Radhabai, Bajirao's mother, Sukhada Khandkekar as Anubai, Baji Rao's sister, Anuja Gokhale as Bhiubai, Baji Rao's sister, Vaibbhav Tatwawdi as Chimaji Appa, Bajirao's younger brother, Mahesh Manjrekar as the Maratha Emperor 'Chhattrapati Shahu' (Son of Chhatrapati Sambhaji and Grandson of Chhatrapati Shivaji), Milind Soman, Ayush Tandon and Sanjay Mishra.

Dilwale

Dilwale (translation:The Big Hearted) is a 2015 Indian romantic musical action comedy film directed by Rohit Shetty, and produced by Gauri Khan and Shetty under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment and Rohit Shetty Productions respectively. The film stars Kajol, Shah Rukh Khan, Varun Dhawan, and Kriti Sanon in lead roles.
Dilwale appears like a musical romantic comedy from the 1950s and a masala drama from the ’90s. Dilwale is a bit of both. The story is straightforward. Varun Dhawan’s Veer meets Ishita (Kriti Sanon), and they fall in love, like all good couples of B-town must. The problems begin to surface when SRK’s past begins to impinge on the couple. There is a twist right before the interval that will leave you glued to the seat. Kajol plays SRK's love interest whereas Kriti is seen romancing Varun in the film. Varun plays the younger brother while SRK plays the doting elder brother.
In other words, the most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained. The film is a story about Raj and Meera and their enchanting relationship that travels through years of hatred for each each other. Vinod Khanna plays the father of Shah Rukh and Varun in the film. Kabir Bedi on the other hand is seen essaying the role of Kajol's dad. The movie tells the story of Raj (Shahrukh Khan) and Meera (Kajol) who reunite after 15 years. The film starts in a flashback where both Raj and Meera are young and fall in love. Both belong to two rival gangster families. Their fathers Vinod Khanna and Kabir Bedi share an intense rivalry. The fight between these two gangsters involves many car chases and gun battles. The second part starts with brother Veer (Varun Dhawan) who is Raj’s little brother, he does not know about his family’s past. Veer falls in love with Ishita (Kriti Sanon) who is a next door girl. Veer confesses his love for Ishita in front of Raj and asks for his help. In doing so Raj finds the shocking truth from which he has been hiding for a long time. What follows next is dramatic, visually grand and tests of love and family.
The film has songs like 'Rang De Tu Mohe Gerua' sung by Arijit Singh and Antara Mitra, 'Manma Emotion Jaage' by Amit Mishra, Anushka Manchanda and Antara Mitra, 'Janam Janam' by Arijit Singh and Antara Mitra, 'Tukur Tukur' by Arijit Singh, 'Premika' by Benny Dayal and  'Theme of Dilwale' by Arijit Singh.
The movie has Kajol as Meera, Shah Rukh Khan as Raj, Varun Dhawan as Veer, Kriti Sanon as Ishita, Varun Sharma as Sidhu, Boman Irani as King, Vinod Khanna, Kabir Bedi, Chetna Pande, Johnny Lever as Money Bhai, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari, Pankaj Tripathi, Nawab Shah and Shawar Ali.

Dilwale '​s film score is composed by Amar Mohile with songs composed by Pritam Chakraborty and lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
