After reading the popular science in the previous comment, it is similar to what I thought. The historical background is religious and political warfare. The newly elected Muslim tyrant is violently coercing all Hindu Muslims. Basically, it is in a state where people block killing Buddhas and block killing Buddhas. The marriage system is polygamy except for the royal family, all others are polygamy.
The male protagonist, as the general of the Hindu side, wants to marry the illegitimate daughter of the Muslim king of the vassal state as his right wife? The sister’s father has multiple wives as a vassal king, but he didn’t dare to give the sister and her mother their names due to religious issues [The film mentions that the baby should follow the father’s religion, and the female protagonist is recognized as a Muslim, and the king also said that their marriage is not recognized by society]. In this case, the male protagonist wants to seal her as his wife? = -||| Don't say that the male protagonist's family disagrees? All the people in the country will not agree with this, okay?
However, it can be seen from this that the male protagonist's ambition is extraordinary. He himself said in the film that his goal is to unify the whole of India. Both religions were huge in numbers, so he should have wanted to make the two sides as harmonious as before. And if I can have a Hindu wife, a Muslim wife, and the two are on an equal footing, there is no better way to lead by example.
Too bad = = he failed. [Although I don't know much about this history, but according to the plot, his political ideal has not been realized] If we
want to talk about love, Mastani loves the male protagonist, I believe. The male protagonist loves the girl? In the movie it is, in fact. . . I doubt it. You told me that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to establish Wei Zifu because of true love? = = It is estimated that Liu Che himself does not believe this.
In addition, the reason why this film has received rave reviews in India, apart from the production itself and the actors, I think political correctness also accounts for a large part. This is a love story between Hindus and Muslims, true love has nothing to do with the country's political, religious and caste origin. . . Especially when the anti-Muslim wave swept the world after various terrorist activities in 2015, the political correctness of this book was even more prominent.
Overall it's a visual feast. And a very politically correct film. push~
