Prithviraj

First is wrong casting,they should cast young and energetic actor like Vicky kaushal. Akshay Kumar is old and you can see that white hairy chest who is representing 26 years young king isn't it funny also he is the actor who make 4 movie in one year,so he didn't work hard for this role, I mean by just wearing king clothes and fake moustache and doing the same rowry Rathore acting and expecting people to watch their movie by doing some emotional religious drama to promote the movie is shameful. When you watch movie there were so many flaws in movie. Story and directions could have been better and they haven't justified the real glory,you can feel that lack of dedications. Actrees is new so no expression on her face while acting and how can we expect chemistry between 25 year young actress with 55 years old actor.

It's been a while since I had been so frustrated and mindblown on how bad a film was, and to say I felt that level of disappointment with this "period biopic" is an understatement. Filled with awful writing, piss poor performances, and cartoonish action sequences, "Samrat Prithviraj" has nothing to offer. Neither does the film be accurate historically, nor does it make it a lot more entertaining. The background score is bland, Obnoxious and overpresent, and actively takes away from the enjoyment of the film. Yeah it's a period piece, where Prithviraj totally kills someone who actually was alive after even Prithvi' own death!

Intentions were good but outcome is Huge Dissapointing. I remember the 40-50 pgs of Amar Chitra Katha of Samrat Prithviraj that I read decades back in 80s was much much better and entertaining than this movie.

Key Historical incidents are not shown. Read at the end of this review those 12-13 incidents of Samrat Prithviraj.

They have altered some key incidents like Swaymwar and last dwell scene.. huge let down Akshay should have done some look test. He was not looking like a king. His last climax look he should have kept in whole movie.

Director and bad Actor choices are to blame here. There is a huge responsibility while choosing to make a historic movie. If you can't commit, dont do it.

Hats off to SLB. He really nailed it and have set the standards high.

Please dont get fooled by getting patriotic with the great samrat's name.

The movie, music, dialogues, action sequences, thrills, acting, aura, grandeur everything is very below average. The makers have just spoiled the samrat. Bad movie making overall. I suggest to watch on TV or OTT rather.

It has become a trend in India to make movies in the name of History to milk money and create an alternate version of the history.

This movie is no different.

Production wise it looks ok. Cinematography is upto the mark. But, Canadian actor Akshay Kumar does not do the justice with the role of such a great warrior. Akshay looks like a comedian and should stick to the comedy movies only.

2 stars Out of 10 just for the Sake of Samrat Prithviraj.
