3 stars only for impactful last 30-35 minutes, Vineet and Vicky. First half was passable. The middle part was bad. Just bad. Pacing is so inconsistent and some scenes seems like just randomly added without any proper connection. So messy. I love cool messy screenplays but this is not one of them.  Rahman’s BGM is as messy as the screenplay. Toofan theme is over played but Jaane tu’s instrumental and occasional Zinda Rahe’s tune is magical whenever it’s played.  Good filmy ending with punchy 80s-ish dialogues with Vicky’s performance and the way brutal torture is displayed makes this watchable (For those who can handle violence).

First half was desent but 2nd half is great and action of Akshaye Khanna is another level 🔥and in ending of Vineet Kumar Singh overshadow Vicky Kaushal

Chhaava • (2025) "Chhaava", yani sher ka bachha, aur ye kaha jata tha Chhatrapati Shambhaji Maharaj ko. Kyun? Ye aapko ye film dekh kar pata chalega. Hume Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ke baare mein pata hai, par unke bete ke baare mein nahi, aur yeh movie usko brilliantly dikhati hai. Vicky Kaushal deserves every national award for this role—he just gives it his all. Kuch negatives zaroor hain, jaise kuch jagah movie slow feel hoti hai, Rashmika ke accent mein South ka feel aata hai, aur A.R. Rahman ka music hit-and-miss hai. But last ke 45 minutes mein jo peak karti hai movie, uss waqt aap apni aankhen screen se hata hi nahi paoge. Aur iska end? Simply impressive.
