hm. I think I finally understand why the overall atitude towards Bajirao-Mastani was the way it was. I think I realise now why we came out of the theatre not really caring too much about the titular lovers but Kashibai instead. We've literally see this EXACT narrative of star-crossed lovers who's stories end in tragedies so many times, in Mughal-E-Azam (an influence on SLB, especially prominent in BM), in Devdas, in our regional folktales. But we've rarely ever been given an insight into the mind of the wife being betrayed by her husband's love for another woman. It's so rare for stories like these to even focus on characters in the place of Kashibai that just the fact that she was given her own arc was extraordinary. And in the end, she is the one charcter in that entire movie who feels new and undiscovered and she is the one who ends up feeling the most three-dimensional.
