Chhaava movie audience review
Chhaava received strong audience response online. A user stated, “Vicky Kaushal shines in #Chhaava, but other actors are just okay. The film feels long, and the BGM doesn’t fit the era. Still, it’s decent. The last 20 minutes hit hard & stay with you. Highly recommend watching in theaters!”

His intensity, Royalty in walk was top notch. #AkshayeKhanna is outstanding as Aurangzeb. Good action sequences & Fabulous cinematography. But I want more from this tale. Especially more depth in conspiracy & betrayal part.”
