Was it desirable to distort facts relating to death of Bajirao in Bajirao Mastani?

As far as the death of Baji Rao Peshwa was concerned, he died on 20th April, 1740, due to high fever and heat stroke while inspecting his jagirs. He was with his troops in Khargone, near the city of Indore. On 28th April, he was cremated in Raverkhedi, on the river Narmada. In the film unnecessarily the death was made melodramatic, as if Baji Rao was singh soldiers on the other side of the river as hallucination and his love for Mastani had taken his life so that both Baji Rao and Mastani could meet each other in heaven.

Movies are made to have earnings for the producers and the team of the film. Not to show what has happened but what the crowds will like watching.

Dear Mohammad Karjatwalaji thanks for the comments. I agree with you. But the statement is correct in respect of fictional characters. Historical characters have separate value in the country. Children also learn history in books. So there is a separate responsibility the moment any film is made relating to a period.
