"Vicky Kaushal plays the larger than life role of the brave Marathi ruler, Sambhaji, who continues a war of resistance against the Mughal empire, and the evil tempered Araungzab, played by Akshaye Khanna, who wants his territory, and aims to crush the Maratha army and its people. Rashmika Mandanna plays Yesubai, Sambhaji's loyal and equally brave wife and mother of his children. The plot is mostly the portrayal of the battles fought between the two empires, and acts of betrayal from close friends. There is blood and gore, and scenes of killing. The cast is good, but some scenes are drawn out and longer than needed. But this is an epic, so I guess that is to be expected. Hindi audio. "
"Truly a masterpiece! The portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was absolutely phenomenal, bringing his story to life with good war scenes, direction and acting. What makes this movie stand out is its crisp storytelling—there is no unnecessary footage, no excessive Bollywood dramatization, and no distractions. It’s a complete rollercoaster ride of emotions, making you feel proud of our history while also leaving you with a sense of guilt for not knowing these events before.
The performances are exceptional, with Vicky Kaushal delivering an unforgettable portrayal of Sambhaji Maharaj. Akshay Khanna, in the role of Aurangzeb, is so convincing that you truly despise his character. The Kavi's character also adds great depth to the story specially at the climax part.
The dialogues are deeply moving, and the climax is sure to bring tears to your eyes. It has been a long time since we have witnessed such a powerful historical film that resonates so deeply. A must-watch for anyone who appreciates history, stellar performances, and impactful storytelling! #bollywood"
