Critical Reception
Chhaava has received mixed to positive reviews from critics. While many appreciated its grandeur and historical storytelling, some pointed out its loud execution. Here’s what top critics had to say:

Controversies and Challenges
No major historical film is free from controversies, and Chhaava was no exception. The film faced backlash from certain quarters for alleged historical inaccuracies, leading to a ₹100 crore lawsuit. Some historians and political groups raised concerns about certain portrayals of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. In response, director Laxman Utekar clarified that the film was made with the utmost respect for history and did not intend to defame any historical figures.
