I was not ready for this 🙏🏻 When a movie transcends the screen and hits you right in the feels, it's like nothing else matters – you're fully immersed in the story, the emotions, and the characters. It is truly an unforgettable experience! This is not a movie. This is a person's devotion in its purest form meeting his true passion and creating absolute magic on screen ❤‍🔥 Rishab Shetty has created a masterpiece!!! 🫡🫡🫡

MY TAKE ON : CHHAVA WHAT WERE THE HIGHLIGHTS? - To watch Vicky Kaushal in each frame of this film was like witnessing Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj come to life...Magnanimous demeanor & outstanding performance!! 💯✨️ - Akshaye Khanna, practically unrecognizable under all that heavy prosthetics managed to create some very powerful, eerie moments on the screen. A remarkable portrayal of Aurangzeb.👍🏼 - The action was well-choreographed & the cinematography was stunning, making every scene epic and immersive. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE MISSES? - Priyanka Chopra in Bajirao, Kajol in Tanaji, Kriti in Panipat were more believable in their avatars as warrior queens. On the contrary, Rashmika Mandanna as Yesubai with her silly doe-like expressions, passable accent & zero chemistry -- was very painful to watch. A huge waste of screen time! - Rahman's background score gave me Troy-like flashbacks. It failed at many points to enhance the overall mood of certain scenes. The duo Ajay-Atul would have been a wiser choice to lean on by the makers. - Let us call spade a spade. The film's narrative was uneven and somehow lacked coherence. WHY SHOULD ANYONE WATCH - 'CHHAVA'? - It is a true testament to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's bravery, conviction and sacrifice -- which in retrospect, I believe, is massively missing in our history textbooks. - In this age of Kalyug, what we are truly missing are leaders like Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, who were brave, loyal, decisive and unyielding. - This tale of 'Chhava' is a somber reminder that true leadership is not about personal gain or power, but about serving others, standing up for what is right, and inspiring others to do the same! - ☆☆☆☆☆ to the filmmakers not only for their craft but largely for the tribute they have given to a worthy leader🙏
