Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava is in trouble, starting with a dance and then debates on historical accuracy.
Originally meant to be a tribute to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the film is now under public scanner. With increasing criticism, will the makers stand their ground or buckle under pressure?
The trailer had a Lezim dance by Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj which got historians and politicians up in arms terming it historically incorrect.
The backlash led to the makers removing the scene altogether. But with cuts like that, will the film still tell its intended story?
The controversy doesn’t stop with the dance. A song in Urdu has also been attacked. Pratik Borade says it doesn’t fit the Maratha warrior’s theme.
If this song is removed too, will the film lose its historical basis or is this the price of artistic freedom?
With each removal, Chhaava is losing its original intent. How much should filmmakers give in to public pressure, especially when it comes to portrayal of history? At what point does creative liberty end and historical distortion begin?
As Chhaava keeps changing, will it retain its soul or become a pale imitation of itself, far away from the original tribute?
