Summary
In 18th-century India, Bajirao, the brilliant Peshwa military commander of the Maratha Empire, falls in love with Mastani, a half-Muslim warrior princess of Bundelkhand, after she fights alongside him in battle. Their union is fiercely opposed by his family and the orthodox Brahmin court in Pune, which refuses to accept Mastani, forcing Bajirao to navigate the conflict between duty, faith, and love.
Released in 2015, Bajirao Mastani is an action, drama and history film.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 72 of whom clear the calibration test. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them. The calibrated figure is built from 151 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 174 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Bajirao Mastani lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 151.
