Chhavva Review

Highlights:

Vicky Kaushal’s Powerhouse Act: Kaushal embodies Sambhaji with raw intensity, especially in the gripping climax where his unyielding spirit shines. His improvised war-cry scene, chanting “Om Namah Parvati Partaye Har Har Mahadev,” is a goosebumps-inducing standout.

Stunning Cinematography: 

Every frame is a visual treat, with sweeping battlefield shots and golden-hued fort scenes capturing the Maratha Empire’s grandeur. The lighting in dramatic moments adds poetic depth.

Emotional Betrayal Sequences: The film’s portrayal of Sambhaji’s betrayal is gut-wrenching, delivering emotionally charged moments that linger, showcasing his sacrifice for Swaraj.

Akshaye Khanna’s Restrained Menace: 

As Aurangzeb, Khanna’s understated yet chilling performance provides a perfect counterpoint, with his piercing gaze stealing scenes.

Climactic Battle: 

The second half roars to life with a thrilling, well-choreographed final sequence, making theatrical viewing worthwhile and heartwrenching climax.

Jai Bhavani 

Despite a slow first half and occasionally loud background score, "Chhaava" captivates with its blend of action, patriotism, and heartfelt storytelling, making it a worthy tribute to a Maratha legend.
