What is the story about?
Vicky Kaushal, Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Chhaava (Lion’s cub) had been in the news since its inception. Adapted from Shivaji Sawant’s Marathi novel of the same name, the trailer and songs of the movie garnered tremendous response from fans. While
Chhaava was expected to become the biggest opener of the year, it also became a Rs 600 crore grosser at the box-office.
Randeep Hooda on rejecting Akshaye Khanna's role
The actor told Zoom in an interview, "I was going through an IP court case and I had so much Hindu-Muslim thing going on in the whole narrative and I just did not want to go down that street."
What was Chhaava all about?
The plot begins from the period of January 1681, where Mughal emperor Aurangzeb gets to know the demise of Maratha King Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Aurangzeb and Mughals are relieved and happy that they can finally capture the Maratha empire of Dakkhan (Deccan). But little did they know about Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj aka Chhaava, who attacks Burhanpur (Mughal’s most precious city) defeats them and warns Aurangzeb to not put his devil eyes on Dakkhan.
Aurangzeb is now furious and takes a vow to capture Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and take revenge from Maratha empire. On the other hand, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj also makes strategies with his troop to tackle and defeat Aurangzeb’s humongous army. And what happens next?
A.R Rahman’s music, BGM and scores blended beautifully with the narrative and enhances the storytelling. However, the jump cuts might be one of the obstacles that might give you a feeling of disconnect. The camera work of Saurabh Goswami was good while Manish Pradhan’s could have been a bit smoother and crisper.
After Munjya and Stree 2, Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films brought exceptional cinematic experience with Chhaava, which perfectly blends historical grandeur with modern storytelling and ensuring that every frame is as visually striking as it is emotionally impactful.
