The film was initially slated for release on 19 January 2026,[4][5] later rescheduled to 30 January 2026, and subsequently postponed to 6 February 2026 due to a clash with Punha Ekda Sade Made Teen and the sudden demise of Ajit Pawar.[6][7][8]
Reception
Komal Khambe of Lokmat gave 3.5 stars out of 5 stars and praised it for its writing, direction, songs, and strong performances, especially Abhijeet Shwetachandra as Shivaji Maharaj, saying that it offers a new thoughtful angle on the Agra incident. However, she noted that viewers expecting heavy action may feel disappointed.[9]
Ishaan Zore of Rediff.com, who rated the film 4 stars out of 5 stars, says that the movie is visually and technically strong with powerful songs and action, but it lacks enough raw and realistic historical moments.[10]
Anub George of The Times of India rated 3 stars out of 5 stars and says that although the film has less action and some weak war and crowd scenes, it makes up for it with beautiful sets, costumes and strong visuals, and largely succeeds as a stylish, visually rich retelling of history.[11]
Santosh Bhingarde of Sakal rated 3.5 stars out of 5 stars.[12] Reshma Raikwar of Loksatta stated the film has strong performances by all actors, especially Abhijeet Shwetachandra as Shivaji Maharaj, and that the director presents the familiar historical story in a fresh and engaging way while staying true to its core truth.[13]
Rasika Shinde-Paul of Kalakruti Media, who rated the film 4/5, said that although some AI-made scenes are visibly artificial and the film is slightly over-emotional, it maintains a good balance of war, strategy and feelings, and is a family-friendly film worth watching in theatres.[14]
