Résumé
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.
Avis à la une
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.
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.

Movie was good; though whoever directed the background music totally effed it up, I had to shut my ears every time a fight scene came.
Also I think it should have had more Marathi dialect, rashmika's hindi sounded a bit off, action scenes were really good, though they should've shown some tactical schemes by marathas, as they were known for their tactics and skills.
There were a lot of politics going on during that time, movie did not cover it however it is based on the life of Shambha ji's life and the movie did good there, costume and makeup artists did a really good job. The first half seemed a bit off, although movie caught the rhythm by the second half.

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.

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.

Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe 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.
- GaffesThe prayer callus on Aurangzeb's forehead changes shape, size and placement through out the movie.
- Citations
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!
- Versions alternativesThe 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.
