You know what! I was going through the review of BAJIRAO MASTANI when I came through a very interesting post 'the silly mistakes all of us didn't notice while watching the movie'.....So here it goes.
Traditional Maharashtrian Mangalsutras are only of two types: A simple gold bead strung in black thread and a longer black beaded necklace with two hollow minuscule bowl like structures. But Priyanka wears a modern pendants throughout the film.
The Pinga song seems to be a hot topic for controversy. Just before the song, Kashibai goes to the Mastani Mahal to present Mastani the traditional nine yard saree and applies haldi-kumkum on her forehead but not the way it was originally done. Priyanka dips her one finger in the haldi and applies on Deepika’s forehead. In reality, the index-finger is for haldi while the middle finger is for kumkum.
In a real life, Kashibai suffered from an arthritis-like ailment at a very young age and was bed-ridden for most of her life. She also suffered from asthma, and hence it was highly impossible that she danced with Mastani on Pinga.
The Peshwin Bai is a woman with a lot of confidence and grace. Her speech and style is filled with a charm and elegance. However Priyanka as Kashibai used words like “bavlat” which are more a modern usage of language which means Mad in Colloquial Marathi. These words were not used in pure dialect of the language spoken by the peshwas.
In the Malhari song, the words like “vaat lavli” are not something that a Peshwa would use however these are the very words which Ranveer Singh used in the song Malhari the victory dance which sounds very rustic and not at all royal.
Kashibai and Mastani met only once in their lifetime and that too formally. But in the film, the two share the screen space a lot of times and were also seen dancing together on the song ‘Pinga’ which never actually happened.

The Maharashtrian style of draping a nine yard saree is being adopted incorrectly in Pinga song. The pure Marathi essence seems badly fused with glamour. The pallu used to be covered over the shoulder however in the song the Peshwin Bai had draped it like a folk dancer which was not acceptable to a section of the public.
