Chhaava Movie:An enigmatic tale of unsung hero

 With Veer Shivaji's demise, the Mughals are loosening their grip and celebrating their rule. But a mountain storm soon breaks in Burhanpur, leaving it in ruins.




Adapted from the Marathi novel of the same name, the story chronicles the journey of an unsung hero who keeps the pride and shine of Maratha alive. Sambhaji fought in his entire ruling period. He did not let Aurang breathe and live peacefully. His Shree Sakhi, whose charming presence and unwavering intellect retained peace of the Maratha court while he kept Mughals on their toes. The conflict in the inner household of Chhatrapati ranges from the conspiracy of Rajmata to the demand of Kanoji and Ganoji over their piece of land ultimately shedding blood that cost any.

 Vicky Kaushal in and as Chava roared till the last scene. The man is the best action hero of this new era. And with Chava, he proved he slays historical fiction in an effervescent hand. His enactment as the veer putra, adding the right dose of poignance adds life to the grit. After being wife to Pushpa, our endearing Rashmika is back with another wife role. Her Shree Sakhi is lovable, soft, and yet very firm as a Queen. As her husband stays captivated within the Mughal Household, she does not blink in putting Ram Raje on the throne to continue their rule. It would have been great if she had gotten more screen time. Divya Dutta as the controversial rajmata leaves a strong impression with her meagre screen presence. 

    The story is neatly sketched and perfectly woven. Only a few more minutes could have built it better.
