Viacom18’s new exclusive Hindi movie channel, Rishtey Cineplex is all set to raise curtains on 8th May, 2016. Keeping its promise of showcasing blockbuster films, the channel will launch with the telecast of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s critically acclaimed epic saga Bajirao Mastani, whose powerful cast and classic narration won many accolades. The visual splendour of Bajirao Mastani will draw viewers through a larger-than-life celebration of Indian cinema on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 PM on Rishtey Cineplex.

Cast and Crew

Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the historical epic romance stars Ranveer Singh as Bajirao, Deepika Padukone as Mastani and Priyanka Chopra as Kashibai. Bajirao Mastani narrates the story of Maratha Peshwa Bajirao and his love for princess, Mastani, much to the dismay of his wife Kashibai, his mother Radhabai and his family who failed to accept her as a part of their family. The film traces Bajirao’s political battles, conquests and courtroom drama whilst focusing on the more significant matters of the heart that affect Bajirao as he fights for the nation and his love. The film is supported by a volley of brilliant performances by Tanvi Azmi (Bajirao’s mother), Mahesh Manjrekar (Chhatrapati Shahu), Vaibhav Tatwawdi (Bajirao’s brother, Chimaji) and Milind Soman (Bajirao’s friend and advisor).

The film’s grand palette and its soulful songs featuring the authenticity of the Maratha and Mughal cultures captured the audience’s imagination and became a national talking point. In fact, Bajirao Mastani became a critic’s favorite, garnering many awards and nominations at multiple award ceremonies in the industry, even bringing in the Best Director Award for Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Best Supporting Actress Award for Tanvi Azmi at the 63rd National Awards. Following its worldwide release in December 2015, the movie went on to become a tremendous commercial success globally.
