Zusammenfassung

Reviewers say 'Chhaava' is acclaimed for its grand scale, historical authenticity, and Vicky Kaushal's powerful performance as Sambhaji Maharaj. The film is celebrated for intricate battle sequences and detailed costumes. However, it faces criticism for inconsistent pacing, weak music, and underdeveloped supporting characters. Some find it overly dramatic and lacking narrative depth, with historical inaccuracies and Bollywood clichés. Despite these issues, many appreciate its effort to highlight an important historical chapter.

MUSIC TURNS THE WHOLE EPIC DRAMA DOWN

I want to ask the makers? Why not choose Ajay Atul instead of a jewel thief Rehman?

Were you deaf when he composed music in electric guitar to raise emotions, romantic scene in piano? Where is the folk Maharashtrian music? Most of the times I felt like I'm watching Braveheart by Mel Gibson.

Climax though conceptualized in best way but not going with facts.

If a person reads Chaava novel, there are myriad facts that are missing.

Director was very careful to keep a secular angle.

Vicky National award fix. Guirella warfare was not properly graphed. Only one who have the read the book would understand the nuances.

This is a very nice Movie

At its core, Chhaava is not just about a warrior-it's about the idea of resilience, sacrifice, and legacy. It's about what it means to fight for something greater than oneself. The film leaves the audience not just with admiration for Sambhaji Maharaj but with a deep respect for the ideals he stood for. It is a rare historical film that manages to entertain, educate, and inspire all at once. Whether you're a history enthusiast or just someone who loves a great story, this film is an absolute must-watch.

WHY RASHMIKA?

The movie was good; the acting from everybody was top-notch except for Rashmika; every time she's on the screen, you'd wanna scroll through Instagram reels instead of watching her. Best thing about this movie is Akshay Khanna as Aurangzeb. Vicky's casting as ShambhaJi was Excellent too but his voice wasn't to the mark for the role, he lacked heaviness and bass in his voice which makes his dialogues a little less energetic and enthusiastic. Over-all it was one time kinda watch. CLIMAX WAS EXCELLENT THO. But expected way too much from this movie, I dont think it'd leave a mark on People's heart. Plus it'd have been better if the director had casted someone else instead of Rashmika. She's just awful. She can't act. She shouldn't be in bollywood or maybe she shouldn't do roles that require ACTING cause she can't act.

Good subject with good motive with a use of contemporary "grand action hit" technical Formula

The cinematography in this movie is nothing short of spectacular.

. Art direction is superb.

. Every frame feels like a painting, with beautifully composed shots that highlight the grandeur of the Maratha Empire. Whether it's the vast expanse of a battlefield, the golden hues of a sunset over a fort, or the intricate detailing of a palace, the visuals transport the audience back in time. The use of lighting, especially in dramatic sequences, adds a poetic quality to the storytelling, making key moments even more impactful.

. Actors have performed well. Storytelling by the director is also engaging even with the limitations as per the biopic of such a legend which ends brutally as of betrayal.

. But at someplaces background music is too loud like other grand movies since the last two years in an influence of south indian commercial works!

Moreover, at many places the action movements took a complete opposite side from- laws of physics. Again like south indian movies.

. It focuses on pride, family, a son, a king, a selfless devotee & a warrior with extreme physical strength.

Best movie of this year yet.

So I suggest to everyone to watch this to know the history of forgotten heroes.

Good but too long

This movie is based on the life and adventure of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj (also popularly known as Chhaava), who fought valiantly against the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. It invigorates the fights and the valor of Chhava and portrays who he fought to save his kingdom and subjects.

However, my main gripe with this film is that it is a tad too long. By the climax scene, I was so tired that I almost dozed off. The scene itself is great, and the actor portrayed the scenes of torture in a heart-wrenching way. But before that, the fight scenes continued for almost one hour without much relief. This saturates the minds of the audience, and they may get bored while reaching the climax of the scene.

Other than that, this movie does a good job of portraying these historical characters and the dynamics between them. If you are a history buff, I would definitely recommend you watch this at least once.

Wissenswertes
The speech scene before Sambhaji's final assault on Aurangzed was not rehearsed. The enthralling war-cry of "Om Namah Parvati Partaye Har Har Mahadev" (Glories to the consort of Goddess Parvati, Mahadev) was an improvisation by Vicky Kaushal. The script only mentioned the chants of "Jai Bhavani and Har Har Mahadev." However, when Kaushal delivered the line, Utekar decided to retain it for it was more raw and natural flowing.

Patzer
The prayer callus on Aurangzeb's forehead changes shape, size and placement through out the movie.

Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj: Aurangzeb; the Swaraj you want to finish, is not any Sultanate; it is the Vision of Freedom of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, you can never destroy it!

Alternative Versionen
The film was passed with a UA certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). However, the film had to go through certain modifications. The dialogue 'Mughal sultanat ka zehar' (The venom of the Mughal Empire) was replaced with 'Uss samay, kayi shaasak aur sultanat khud ko zinda rakhne ki koshish kar rahe the' (In those dark times, countless rulers and kingdoms fought for survival). Another dialogue 'Khoon toh aakhir Mughalon ka hi hai' (The blood is of the Mughals after all) was changed to 'Khoon toh hai Aurang ka hi' (The blood is of Aurang after all). The words 'haramzaadon' and 'haramzaada' were muted while 'Aameen' was replaced with 'Jai Bhavani'. A certain dialogue in the first half was replaced while a scene showing Maratha warriors clad in a saree was also removed. Further, '16 saal' (16 years) was replaced with '14 saal' (14 years), '22 saal ka ladka' (22-year old boy) was replaced with '24 saal ka ladka' (24-year old boy) while '9 saal' (9 years) was modified to 'kayi saal' (many years). Lastly, the CBFC members asked the makers to insert an audio-text disclaimer stating the name of the book from which the film is adapted and that it doesn't intend to defame anybody or distort historical facts.
