9/10
It's a glorious spectacle!
12 January 2020
I loved this beautifully shot epic which fortunately sidesteps the common place tropes and hackneyed characters that seem to befoul our film industry now a days. The dialogues were on point, and are sure to invoke some awe-inspiring reactions in any viewer. The acting was great, as to be expected from stalwarts like Ajay Devgan, Saif Ali Khan and Kajol, but even the supporting cast did a great job in making the scenes and set-pieces look as authentic as they can for a period movie. The story while simple was deftly executed and directed, and not a dull moment is to be found in its over 2 hour run-time. Even the songs, which while not great, were shot well and didn't seem a slog to go through.

I wasn't planning on watching this movie having experienced huge disappointments such as panipat and kalank, but this one was a breadth of fresh air. And even if all these cinematic feats don't interest you, the 3D, which again was surprisingly good, along with the beautiful shots are enough to engross you and hold your attention. Do yourself and our industry a favor and watch this movie!
