Chhaava

screenplay and uneven supporting performances hold it back from being epic, making it an entertaining yet flawed film." Chaava is unequivocally a one-man show, with Vicky Kaushal delivering a phenomenal performance that warrants another National Award. His conviction and dedication to the role are truly mesmerizing, making the film worth watching solely due to his efforts. Unfortunately, the casting of Rashmika Mandanna feels like a misguided attempt to appeal to a southern audience, as she struggles with Hindi dialogues and delivers a subpar performance. Akshay Khanna, on the other hand, exudes an intimidating presence, albeit with limited screen time. The legendary A.R. Rahman's score and music, however, feel repetitive and fail to add the expected depth to the scenes. Vineet Singh is extremely underrated and he impresses with his act during the climax as well. The screenplay is also lacking, with a lazy writing style that detracts from the overall experience. Nevertheless, Vicky Kaushal shines in the action sequences, showcasing his comfort and prowess in such roles. Director Laxman Utekar delivers a worthy film for entertainment. Overall, Chaava is a testament to Vicky Kaushal's exceptional talent, presenting a genuine story with the necessary Bollywood touch, despite some notable flaws. Vicky gives it all his sweat, but the faltering screenplay could just make it entertaining and not epic. Instagram @streamgenx
