Critics Reviews

2.5/5

Indian Express says Raja Shivaji is a grand, Amar Chitra Katha-style historical spectacle led sincerely by Riteish Deshmukh, but it keeps the conflict too black and white and becomes repetitive in the second half.

3.5/5

Times of India’s review says Raja Shivaji is a grand, respectful tribute that benefits from strong dialogues, sharp editing, Ajay-Atul’s music and Santosh Sivan’s visuals. It praises the film’s scale and emotional moments, but notes that some VFX looks weak, slow-motion action gets tiring, and the packed narrative feels rushed in places.

3/5

Hindustan Times’ review says Raja Shivaji is visually grand and well-intentioned, but feels more admirable than emotionally gripping. It praises Riteish Deshmukh’s effort, scale, dialogues and strong performances, while noting the disjointed first half, weak background score, and long runtime reduce the impact.
