I watched #Chhaava today with high hopes and enthusiasm. Great inspiring story, but let down by weak direction and forgettable music, even in war scenes which was a big let down. However, Vicky Kaushal delivers yet another stellar performance, carrying the film effortlessly. The¡ pic.twitter.com/3FUMQgLGJV

#Chhaava is a mixed bag for me. Loved Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb, the make up, ageing & desperation on his face of being unable to defeat the spirit of the Maratha empire was emoted excellently by him but wished he had more dialogues at times it felt he wasn't that strong an¡ pic.twitter.com/BwHoDU59n4

Akshaye Khanna is one of the most underrated actors in Bollywood. His performances are always top-notch, yet he doesn¡¯t get the recognition he truly deserves.

Still coming to grip with the mind blowing spectacle that was #Chhaava . It¡¯s coming to a point where I trust Vicky Kaushal¡¯s film blindly,n he sure as hell roars like a Chhaava.Akshaye Khanna as Aurang is peak art in acting without many dialogues.Spectacular n heart wrenching!
