The CinePearl Take

Riteish Deshmukh’s directorial debut is ambitious, but its pacing wavers between marathon battle sequences and slower court drama. Vidya Balan shines as Jijabai, infusing the film with emotional depth that anchors the spectacle. Meanwhile, Sanjay Dutt’s charismatic turn as a rival commander adds a welcome dose of menace, even as the script occasionally leans on melodramatic shortcuts.
