Raja Shivaji Review
Raja Shivaji is more of a movie tribute to a great leader than a traditional war movie. Directed with a strong sense of cultural pride, Riteish Deshmukh puts a lot of emphasis on Jijabai (Bhagyashree)’s early influences and the ideological birth of Swarajya. The second half of the movie is the best part, when the fight between Shivaji and the Adil Shahi forces gets really intense. Read full review.
