Kewlani and Abhishek Anil Kapur, aspires to be a high-flying tribute to the Indian Air Force's valor.

It crash-lands due to a combination of preachy dialogues, underdeveloped characters, and a narrative that fails to engage.

While the premise holds promise, the execution is marred by a script that leans heavily on jingoism and melodrama, diluting the impact of the real-life heroics it seeks to portray.

One of the film's most glaring issues is its reliance on clichéd and overly preachy dialogues.

Such attempts at instilling patriotism feel contrived, detracting from the authenticity of the characters' experiences.

Pregnant wife, is disappointingly one-dimensional. Her role is largely confined to that of a worried spouse, offering little depth or agency.

The chemistry between her and Pahariya's character is virtually non-existent, making it challenging for the audience to invest emotionally in their relationship.

The film also misses the mark in showcasing the camaraderie among the squadron members. While the mentor-mentee relationship between Ahuja and Tabby is somewhat fleshed out, the bond between the other pilots is barely explored. This lack of focus on team dynamics results in a narrative that feels disjointed and fails to capture the essence of brotherhood inherent in military life.

One of the strongest aspects of Chhaava is its screenplay, which balances action with emotion. The dialogues are impactful, filled with the weight of history and the fire of revolution. There are several moments where the intensity of the dialogues alone sends shivers down the spine, particularly in confrontations between Sambhaji Maharaj and his adversaries. The supporting cast deserves a special mention-each character plays a crucial role in shaping the hero's journey. The women in the film, especially the portrayal of Sambhaji Maharaj's mother and his wife, add depth to the story, showcasing their influence and resilience in a world dominated by war and politics. The music .

And background score elevate the film's grandeur, making key moments even more unforgettable. The battle sequences are choreographed with precision, striking a fine balance between realism and cinematic spectacle.

. The film doesn't shy away from depicting the brutality of war, yet it never loses sight of the human emotions that drive these conflicts.

There are crime-family dramas-and then there are cinematic experiences that linger long after the credits roll. This film belongs to the latter category, a slow-burning, emotionally charged masterpiece that blends gritty realism with poetic storytelling. Helmed by a visionary director ABHISHEK GOSWAMI, the film doesn't just tell a story-it carves one into your psyche.

Known for their deft handling of morally grey characters and haunting visual language, Abhishek brings his signature style to this project with precision and grace. Their ability to balance raw intensity with quiet introspection is what elevates this film from a traditional gangster narrative into something far more profound.

The story revolves around a college going girl who is brainwashed by the usual media narratives and the radical student unions. The conflict in between her and her mother is due to the past decision of her mother to get separated from her father as he was a pathetic criminal. The emotional weight of this tension is palpable, thanks to a script that's both unflinching and beautifully restrained. But when the past continues in the present she has to understand the real truth of this system with the help of a righteous friend of her mother.

The performances are equally magnetic. The lead delivers a layered portrayal of a man unraveling under the weight of heritage and conscience. The supporting cast brings richness and authenticity to every scene, each character carefully crafted with depth and nuance. And yet, it's clear the director's hand is always present-guiding, shaping, and elevating.

But what truly sets this film apart is its refusal to simplify. It does not glorify criminal life, nor does it paint its characters as mere villains or victims. It's a meditation on power, guilt, love, and the unbearable weight of family expectations. Director ABHISHEK GOSWAMI doesn't offer easy answers-only questions that linger, long after the screen goes dark.
