Sambhaji
is
a
lion
but
the
movie
was
a
damp
squib,
sighs
Vishaka
Rautela.
When
Aurangzeb
said,
‘Mazza
nahi
aya,’
I
agreed
with
him.
I
was
looking
forward
to
watching
Chaava,
as
there
has
been
no
good
movie
in
a
long
time.
Plus,
it’s
a
Vicky
Kaushal
movie.
The
movie
has
great
production
values
and
Vicky
is
beyond
brilliant,
so
powerful.
But
the
superlatives
end
there.
The
entire
movie
is
just
fight
after
fight,
no
connection
to
the
characters.
And
what
is
Diana
Penty
doing
there?
There
should
have
been
some
intro
or
back
story.
Aurangzeb
looks
100
years
old
by
the
end
of
the
film
but
walks
with
a
swagger.
Soyarabai
(Chhatrapati
Sambhaji
Maharaj’s
step-mother)
seems
strong
at
the
beginning
and
you
are
trying
to
understand
her
story.
But
it
fizzles
out
and
you
are
grappling
to
understand
what
happened
there.
Long-winded
torture
at
the
end
made
me
write
this
instead
of
watching
it.
It’s
just
never
ending.
The
Marathas
were
known
for
their
strategy
but
it
was
skimmed
over.
The
movie
would
have
been
so
interesting
if
they
features
some
plotting
and
strategy
than
just
how
they
got
there.
In
school,
I
was
so
intrigued
by
stories
of
Chhatrapati
Shivaji
Maharaj.
They
should
have
just
made
a
film
on
him.
Vicky
looks
like
him.
Sambhaji
is
a
lion,
but
the
movie
was
a
damp
squib.
Chhaava
deserves
three
and
a
half
stars
for
Vicky
Kaushal
and
the
film’s
production
values
but
that’s
it.
