Riepilogo
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.
Recensioni in evidenza
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.

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.

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.
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.

Lo sapevi?
- QuizThe 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.
- BlooperThe prayer callus on Aurangzeb's forehead changes shape, size and placement through out the movie.
- Citazioni
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!
- Versioni alternativeThe 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.
