Bajirao Mastani Page #5

But you cannot ride a horse.

How do you expect to come?

I'll go to the stable, mount my horse,

crack the whip...

And be off like the wind.

Here comes Kashi!!

We haven't even reached the

battlefield yet and you've started.

What else does this warrior need?

A bit of land, two square meals, a

piece of open sky, a steed, a sword...

And my Kashi.

Altogether, twenty-seven.

How so?

Twenty-seven wounds!

And this time you let

the enemy get too close...

And now to avoid the

twenty-eighth wound...

This ring will protect

you from both the evil eye...

and the enemy's sword.

My Lady, I do not trust

the intentions of those people.

These are no guests' chambers!

It's a strategy to demean you.

If they can put you

up amonst courtesans...

they can ask you to

dance at their court next!

My Lady!

Well, well...

Look at the butterfly!

My lady, it was unwise

to send our soldiers home.

We are in a strange land,

surrounded by strangers.

You never know what

problems might arise.

What kind of people would house

a guest amongst courtesans.

And that too the daughter

of King Chatrasaal.

Swords would be raised in Bundelkhand

if they caught wind of this.

Yet you sit here silently...

I know you feel humiliated, My Lady.

Let us return home rather

than be insulted here.

If he truly loves you, the Peshwa

will come after you, to Bundelkhand.

One more thing,

no matter your efforts...

They will never

let him learn you are here.

And I will never let

them forget my love for him.

My Lord, you are now witnessing the

most beautiful section of Shanivaar Wada...

The Palace of Mirrors.

Whoa, Chimaji...

It's unreal!

While you have been busy fighting

our enemies for years...

Your brother

has been building this.

Chimaji, you have brought

the Taj Mahal to Pune.

And you shall witness the true

splendour of this place tonight...

When we celebrate the New Year.

Truly this is a dreamworld, brother.

The true magic of this dreamworld

lies in the wonder at your feet.

How do you mean?

At this very moment Bajirao,

if Kashi desires...

she can see you and

Nana from her chambers.

Are you saying Kashi can see both father

and son from the comfort of her room?

Therein lies the magic!

That lotus has a

mechanism that makes...

your reflection shine

from these mirrors...

Straight onto the

little window in Kashi's room.

My Lady!!

There's a beam coming

through the window.

Really!

Yes, really, come on, come quickly!

Then traveling through

the glass on the water...

it reflects onto the

curtain in her chambers.

Quickly, My Lady, quickly!

Wait a moment!

Oh! We can see Bajirao here although

he's in the Palace of Mirrors.
