Deepika Padukone has starred in some great movies. In the 2010s and 2020s, she appeared in amazing films.
Bajirao Mastani(2015): In this movie, she played a Rajput princess named Mastani, who falls in love with a married Maratha warrior, Bajirao (Ranveer Singh Bhavnani). His family does not accept him. Mastani wants his help to subdue the invaders. Bajirao is impressed with the bravery of a woman. On the other hand, Mastani asks Bajirao to enjoy the festival of Holi. During all this time spent together, Bajirao and Mastani start liking each other. He gifts his dagger to Mastani, but he is unaware that in Rajput traditions, this gesture signifies a proposal of marriage to a woman. Soon, Mastani arrives at his palace in Pune and shows the dagger to his mother, Radhabai. His mother states that getting his dagger as a gift does not mean that she is not married to him.
She insults Mastani and ensures that she stays with the courtesans in the palace. Soon, Mastani dances at the palace in front of Bajirao, and he notices her. His wife, Kashibai(Priyanka Chopra), also notices his gesture towards her. He marries Mastani, although he also tells her that she won’t get any respect in the kingdom. In the end, Mastani and her son are killed by Bajirao’s family, and he too dies. This was a tragic love story, but it was well-received by the audience.
Bajirao Mastani was one of the greatest Deepika Padukone movies, and it earned 356 crores at the box office.
