While with Chhava it is Vicky and Akshay and unfortunately they have been let down by music, Rashmika and a few 20 mins scenes that could have been chopped off.
Otherwise this would have been the next Bahubali.

I would still rate Ranveer as Bajirao as the best portrayal of Maratha warriors on screen. There have been quite a few movies now - Tanhaji, Panipat, Chhaava, BM..Vicky was screaming a lot in many places. I also hated ARR BG a lot it was so loud and a torture at times. Laxman did as much as he could but I still feel the finesse that SLB or Rajamouli get with period dramas is on a very high level and too hard to match. I wish guerilla warfare sequences was expanded upon. Rashmika was not horrible ..but she was just Rashmika as she is in all movies smiley36

Just finished watching the movie. My ₹2.

Cinematography was beautiful! The light, dark, shadows, highlights!! Beautifully made! smiley42

The movie gave me goosebumps, goosebumps and some tears. I am a student of history and we belong to a proud Maratha clan. The story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj is something we've grown up listening to.

Watching this movie was an average experience at best. It promised a lot but the delivery lacked a few things.

1. Historical context wasn't developed enough. They could've done a very short 3-5 minutes of voiceover depicting the life of the great warrior king. For someone who barely knows anything about this legend, things would be confusing.

2. The time lapse should've been mentioned a bit more clearly. His time is well documented, just a mention of years in corner would've been enough (at least).

3. The music - gave me a headache. Could've been a whole lot better, it's expected from Rahman.

4. The ending... Sambhajiraje endured the torture for a whole 40 long days and nights, there was no moment of peace. The movie didn't show it enough, although I understand it's not palatable but the time should've been mentioned.

5. The performances were good but I've watched a whole lot of movies on Maratha warriors including ones in Marathi and this wasn't among the top 3/5.

I'm glad that it was made but a little more effort on certain aspects would've made this worthwhile.

Although it's a paisawasool movie. Theatre mein dekhna toh banta hai.

Edited to add - afternoon 2pm show was housefull. (3-4 seats were vacant.)

So happy about the many reviews posted here. I read about the Marathi hero beforehand as I like to immerse myself into history. I certainly will watch the movie also when it gets streamed - for all the excitement I got to feel in a full theatre with many Indian couples. Yet it's also certain that I will fast forward certain scenes. It is a strong testosterone movie...and I really watched it for the juxtapositioning of Vicky and Akshaye (not Akshay, please!) in their historic roles and some other actors/actresses...it wasn't the first time I watched Rashmika (Goodbye, Mission Majnu) and - fortunately - I was busy with reading the subtitles smiley2

Weakest is Rashmika.
Also, my friend said that she couldn't take the climax which was too much gruesome for her!! Probably this is the reason I think I should watch it on OTT.

if you've watched Final destination movies, the climax is nothing compared to it. You can close your eyes for that one minute, they didn't actually show anything (that) gruesome.

Heard the budget is 130-140 crores. It's quite less for a period film.

Vicky will be relieved that it is doing well.

Maddock is doing so well now.

It is the cruelty of war and of an evil mind...I think if one has the possibility, one really should try the movie on biiiig screen.
