Thanks to its lavish production and compelling performances, actor Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama Chhaava has been receiving a lot of positive reviews. Fans are showing their appreciation for the versatile Akshaye Khanna, who plays the part of Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor.
X users flooded the internet with praise for the actor. A user wrote, “I genuinely feel that some actors are genetically gifted. #AkshayeKhanna as Aurangzeb was spectacular! An actor I think all of us wish to see more often in films.” Another mentioned, “He was so involved in the character that even the original Aurangzeb will get confused if he saw him. Amazing acting!! #AkshayeKhanna.” Yet another user commented, “The conviction of Akshay Khanna (sic).”
In addition to making a lot of money at the box office, the movie has had mixed reviews from reviewers; we gave it three and half stars.
“Thankfully, the second half picks up not just in pace but also gives direction to a somewhat sketchy and all-over-the-place first half. Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb has gone the distance to not just look the part with the prosthetic, but he also does a lot of acting through just his kohl-laced eyes,” read a section of the review.
According to reports, Chhaava was produced on a budget of Rs 130 crore. Chhaava, which was directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, narrates the tale of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
