सम्राट पृथ्वीराज

It's been a while since I had been so frustrated and mindblown on how bad a film was, and to say I felt that level of disappointment with this "period biopic" is an understatement. Filled with awful writing, piss poor performances, and cartoonish action sequences, "Samrat Prithviraj" has nothing to offer. Neither does the film be accurate historically, nor does it make it a lot more entertaining. The background score is bland, Obnoxious and overpresent, and actively takes away from the enjoyment of the film. Yeah it's a period piece, where Prithviraj totally kills someone who actually was alive after even Prithvi' own death!

Pretty much summed up in the title.

It's a movie made to cash in on the hyper nationalism wave. And to do that there are many historical inaccuracies in the film which are aimed at demonising and vilifying a community.

Intentions were good but outcome is Huge Dissapointing. I remember the 40-50 pgs of Amar Chitra Katha of Samrat Prithviraj that I read decades back in 80s was much much better and entertaining than this movie.

Key Historical incidents are not shown. Read at the end of this review those 12-13 incidents of Samrat Prithviraj.

They have altered some key incidents like Swaymwar and last dwell scene.. huge let down Akshay should have done some look test. He was not looking like a king. His last climax look he should have kept in whole movie.

Director and bad Actor choices are to blame here. There is a huge responsibility while choosing to make a historic movie. If you can't commit, dont do it.

Hats off to SLB. He really nailed it and have set the standards high.

It's the second Yash Raj movie within a month and both lacking content. This movie has done zero justice to the character and amount of history it carries along.

I didn't learn much about Prithviraj or Sanyukta or Ghouri after watching this movie. Utter lack of content and it was painful to sit through the movie. Music is below average and is not worth watching in cinema. Even the battles were lackluster.

I have lost another 2 hours of my life. Thank you.

The biggest problem with the movie is the powerful thump of the SAMRAT which was totally missing

When it come to historic or war fiction movies we have seen big canvas like jodha Akbar padmavat Bahubali and many more so our exceptions becomes very high and it is very difficult to make a film above all this cults

Akshay failed to deliver an extra ordinary performance and aggression of SAMRAT miss chhillar was not promising..Sonu Sood came out very well with his softness..the movie started with a powerful fight scene but then gradually became dull..technically there was no problem but prosthetics were pathetic specially Akshay with hurted eyes..not a single scene gave the effect or feel of SAMRAT..songs were totally boring and sad..till the end I was waiting for a power punch action or scene but i couldn't find it

the director is of old school daily soaps where betting on him for such a great venture was yashrajs biggest mistake

But of course it is not that bad in compare to box office results.
