Honestly, I feel the film took too many creative liberties with historical facts. The core story is inspiring, but as a history enthusiast, I wish they'd stuck closer to the documented accounts. Still, performances were top-notch.

The chemistry between Vicky and Viineet was the soul of the movie. That scene where Kavi Kalash stands by Raje... chills! So happy to see such a well-made period drama getting its due. Can't believe it's already been a year!

"Second birth" is a strong statement, but you can see the passion in his eyes. These are the roles actors dream of. More power to the entire team. Hoping for a sequel or a film on Baji Prabhu Deshpande next! 🙏

Took my whole family to watch this. My father was so emotional. It's rare to see a film that educates and entertains with equal measure. The background score still plays in my head. #1YearOfChhaava indeed!

As someone new to Indian history, this film was a brilliant introduction. The scale, the emotions, the action - everything was world class. Viineet Kumar Singh deserves all the praise. An actor completely lost in his character.
