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.

Good movie, but could have been much better

While the movie is based on the book, the events could have been portrayed with a much better screenplay and some better music. Overall the movie is good but there were many parts that could have been acted well.

Screenplay suffers in many areas before and after interval where it slows down the pace of thw film. Dialogue should have been strong enough and music should have elevated the actions performed by the actors. But Rahman added much of the regular average music to this movie with some romantic music to some songs that is generally given to romantic movie songs.

It was the best opportunity he could have used to come back with equal or greater music composition on par with Jodha Akbar that he gave. But it falls much below average. Directors needed to focus more on editing and screenplay skills. Story telling was quiet good. The movie elevated well from the moment he had to fight and get captured till the very end.

It was directed more like a TV serial budget direction. Movies will need much better skills to make it a perfect cut.

Epic Storytelling at Its Best

The cinematography in Chhaava is nothing short of spectacular. 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.its very romantic and best movie of this year so I suggested to everyone to watch this best movie of this year.

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.

Lacks a bit in storytelling, otherwise a grand masala movie to earn

One of the strongest aspects of Chhaava is its screenplay, which balances action with emotion. The dialogues are impactful, filled with the weight of history and the fire of revolution. There are several moments where the intensity of the dialogues alone sends shivers down the spine, particularly in confrontations between Sambhaji Maharaj and his adversaries. The supporting cast deserves a special mention-each character plays a crucial role in shaping the hero's journey. The women in the film, especially the portrayal of Sambhaji Maharaj's mother and his wife, add depth to the story, showcasing their influence and resilience in a world dominated by war and politics. The music .

And background score elevate the film's grandeur, making key moments even more unforgettable. The battle sequences are choreographed with precision, striking a fine balance between realism and cinematic spectacle.

. The film doesn't shy away from depicting the brutality of war, yet it never loses sight of the human emotions that drive these conflicts.

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.
