Chhaava Review: Vicky Kaushal’s Performance Shines, But the Film Falls Short
"Vicky Kaushal’s sincere portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje is the heart of Chhaava. While the film struggles with pacing, disjointed timelines, and an overpowering background score, Kaushal’s commitment to the role stands out. Akshaye Khanna's portrayal of Aurangzeb, through subtle expressions and body language, adds depth to the film. Though Chhaava doesn't entirely succeed in connecting emotionally, it offers strong moments, especially in its brutal climax, which mirrors the intensity of The Passion of the Christ. Watch it for Kaushal's unwavering dedication to his character."
