"Laxman Utekar's Chhaava focuses on the Battle of Burhanpur and its impact on the Maratha-Mughal war, rather than being a complete biopic of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. The first half of the film struggles with pacing, but the second half gains momentum, leading to an intense and emotionally charged climax. The confrontation between Sambhaji Maharaj and Aurangzeb, particularly the exchange between Vicky Kaushal and Vineet Kumar, stands out as one of the film's most powerful moments. The battle sequences are well-executed, but the background score by A. R. Rahman lacks the necessary ..."

The speech scene before Sambhaji's final assault on Aurangzed was not rehearsed. The enthralling war-cry of "Om Namah Parvati Partaye Har Har Mahadev" (Glories to the consort of Goddess Parvati, Mahadev) was an improvisation by Vicky Kaushal. The script only mentioned the chants of "Jai Bhavani and Har Har Mahadev." However, when Kaushal delivered the line, Utekar decided to retain it for it was more raw and natural flowing.
