An amazing movie with brilliant acting by Vicky Kaushal. He shines & will really give u goosebumps every time he comes on screen; perfectly portraying the brave, fierce and fearless character of Sambhaji along with his love for others. Akshay Khanna again proved that real actors can tell stories even without dialogues in any scene. Rashmika needs better dialogue delivery but other caste did their part well specially the poet friend named Kavi.. Background score is good but not great. The first half is slow paced but latter picks up the pace perfectly. Most of Sambhaji's life was ridden with fights so Ultimate Fighter is the spirit he portrays.
Before criticizing the fighting and valour of our kings, always remember that those who trained themselves in fighting since childhood will always be very strong; they won't go down just with one kick or sword in the stomach. That's how war veterans fought even during world war 2.
Go watch the movie, it's emotional in ending but that's what the reality was with our kings. Respect their love for the country. I hope Vicky gets a National award as this is his best performance to date in this industry.
