Since the release of its trailer, the Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna film Chhaava has been in the news. Vicky’s flawless performance was praised by many, but other people raised eyebrows on the movie’s dance sequence. The dance sequence sparked complaints and objections from a number of Maharashtra ministers.
Devendra Fadnavis, the chief minister of Maharashtra, also emphasized the importance of accurately presenting Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s history. The director, Laxman Utekar, announced last month that he would not be using the scene in which Sambhaji Maharaj and his wife, Maharani Yesubai, performed a Lezim dance.
First Review of the film Chhaava
Vicky Kaushal’s film Chhaava, which is based on the life of Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, has received its first review. After seeing the movie, trade expert Taran Adarsh quickly voiced his thoughts. Taran Adarsh took to X and wrote, “#OneWordReview… #Chhaava: SPECTACULAR. Rating: 4 and a half. Blends history, emotions, passion, patriotism, and action with finesse… #VickyKaushal is terrific, cementing his stature as one of the finest actors of his generation… #LaxmanUtekar triumphs as a storyteller. #ChhaavaReview.“
Vicky’s “towering, award-worthy performance” was praised by Taran, who also praised Laxman Utekar’s storytelling. He continued, “Director #LaxmanUtekar – known for choosing diverse themes (#LukaChuppi, #Mimi, #ZHZB) – brings to life the inspiring story of #ChhatrapatiSambhajiMaharaj… He crafts a cinematic spectacle that captivates from the very first frame, seamlessly balancing grandeur with storytelling… With #Chhaava, he ensures that it isn’t just about the scale but also a tribute to the indomitable spirit of #ChhatrapatiSambhajiMaharaj. Vicky Kaushal delivers a towering, award-worthy performance as #ChhatrapatiSambhajiMaharaj… His commanding presence, searing intensity, fiery dialogues, and emotionally charged moments elevate the film to an entirely new level… The confrontation sequences with #AkshayeKhanna are standouts, while the preceding action sequence is nothing short of exemplary.”
Taran was also pleased by Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye’s performances and could not stop praising them. This film is going to be the biggest opener of 2025 so far. According to the website Sacnilk, the movie has already made Rs 8.68 crore.
On February 14, today, Chhava is released in theaters. Visit the closest cinema, watch the movie, and then leave a comment about your experience.
