Chhaava brings the story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj to the big screen, focusing on his courage and resilience. Vicky Kaushal leads the film as Sambhaji, taking on a significant legacy after his father, Shivaji Maharaj, dies. Sambhaji's battle against the Mughal Empire, particularly against Aurangzeb (Akshaye Khanna), forms the heart of the film.
Positives:
- Vicky Kaushal shines as Sambhaji Maharaj, delivering a strong performance, especially in the climax.
- Akshaye Khanna, though limited in screen time, does a decent job as Aurangzeb.
- Rashmika Mandanna and the supporting cast, including Ashutosh Rana and Divya Dutta, perform well in their respective roles.
Negatives:
- The film’s execution lacks finesse, with a slower first half and underwhelming war sequences.
- The emotional buildup, especially for betrayals, feels lacking, and some characters aren’t fully explored.
- Akshaye Khanna’s portrayal of Aurangzeb could have been more intense.
- The pacing feels stretched, particularly in the first half.
