Samrat Prithviraj

The way Rajputana's history has been and the events that have happened, I did not feel anything at all that it should be the story of Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan. You are showing the story of a warrior with empty twists, you are very disappointing.....

First is wrong casting,they should cast young and energetic actor like Vicky kaushal. Akshay Kumar is old and you can see that white hairy chest who is representing 26 years young king isn't it funny also he is the actor who make 4 movie in one year,so he didn't work hard for this role, I mean by just wearing king clothes and fake moustache and doing the same rowry Rathore acting and expecting people to watch their movie by doing some emotional religious drama to promote the movie is shameful. When you watch movie there were so many flaws in movie. Story and directions could have been better and they haven't justified the real glory,you can feel that lack of dedications. Actrees is new so no expression on her face while acting and how can we expect chemistry between 25 year young actress with 55 years old actor.

It has become a trend in India to make movies in the name of History to milk money and create an alternate version of the history.

This movie is no different.

Production wise it looks ok. Cinematography is upto the mark. But, Canadian actor Akshay Kumar does not do the justice with the role of such a great warrior. Akshay looks like a comedian and should stick to the comedy movies only.

2 stars Out of 10 just for the Sake of Samrat Prithviraj.

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.
