Prithviraj

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!

Pretty much summed up in the title.

It's a movie made to cash in on the hyper nationalism wave. And to do that there are many historical inaccuracies in the film which are aimed at demonising and vilifying a community.

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's the second Yash Raj movie within a month and both lacking content. This movie has done zero justice to the character and amount of history it carries along.

I didn't learn much about Prithviraj or Sanyukta or Ghouri after watching this movie. Utter lack of content and it was painful to sit through the movie. Music is below average and is not worth watching in cinema. Even the battles were lackluster.

I have lost another 2 hours of my life. Thank you.

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.
