Now I'm not going to discuss about the story . I don't wanna give spoilers !
First ;Acting: It was pretty good . All of them did a good job. Saif was brilliant . You may get little Ranveer Singh(Sultan Alauddin Khilji) vibe .
Second: Storytelling was simple and fluid . First half was slow build up but interesting .
Third;Action sequence:
Now here is the problem i can't ignore . Sometimes the sword fights were so fake . You could literally see that the weapon isn't going into the body , it's just so obvious! They sometime tried to change the camera angle quickly to cover it but unfortunately you just can't miss it !
Another issue is the exaggeration of power , which can be found in literally every bollywood movies . There is a scene where Tanaji pushes a running horse and it fell . Now they were warriors , maybe they were strong but i don't understand why after pushing the running horse the momentum vanished ! He didn't even move with the momentum !
Another scene ,Udaybhan cutting an elephant's trunk in one swing of a sword ! Which is impossible
(An elephantโs trunk has eight major muscles on either side and 150,000 muscle bundles in all. It is so strong that it can push down trees and lift a whopping 700,000 pounds.)
Lets talk about another issue . Udaybhan's fighting is just unrealistic . The hilt is the only thing you can hold while swinging a sword but here he fights with the blade in his hand and smashes people with the halt or cross-guard ! How is that even possible ! Idk man , what was the need of a stupid unrealistic stunt in a historical drama !
Fourth;Ending:
The last scene or climax should be epic but imao they ruined it . In the last scene he pushes a huge cannon and it went down from the fort by breaking a wall . Now two huge elephant was needed to pull that thing ! It could be possible only if the cannon was on unbalanced ground or it went downhill by a little force but that wall was plane. So it just not what i expected !
Fifth; VFX: a constant problem with any bollywood movie . Sometimes it was just looked like an animated piece . The slow-mos were terrible with close shot and weapons it was just messed up . Idk why don't they just do less shots and make it better !
*Can be little sensitive for animal lovers.
But the movie was enjoyable . If you can compensate some stuff like mentioned above , you should definitely watch it .
