This is a genuine balanced review
Watched on Prime Video
Negative: -Felt boring at times and didn't had pace. Historical Movies won't work this way. Even PHULLWANTI had higher engaging direction-Second half too boring-Except the starting song no other song was that good.-Many patriotic events from Chhatrapati Sambhaji childhood as Agrabhet, period with Mirzarajemissing.-Sambhaji maharaj's first campaign missing.-Storyline only focused on one campaign Burhanpur.-Bhusan Patil needs practice on dialogues. Learn something from VICKY KAUSHAL-Too much repetition of one bgm only.
Positive: -Plot focused on character of Chhatrapati Sambhaji and his strategies which is imp instead of politics of Soyrabai and courtiers.-Bhusan Patil acting, voice and physical is good but needs to gain wt.-VFX much better than earlier movies in war scenes.-Hambirmama and other actors are good.-Sambhaji Maharaj vs Tiger-Imp history events related to Burhanpur campaign showcased well. Also teachings of Shivaji Raje and Jijamata is show.
---Conclusion: Movie was satisfactory but not up to the mark but if you are interested to know true history it' deserves the weekend! If Lanjekar keeps reducing the pace of events in the movie, they are gonna be disasters at Box Office. Only Pawankhind had a good speed and kept audiences engaged.
Jai Hind. Jai Bhavani.
