Therefore, first, kudos to the makers for dusting this story from the archives and presenting it as a... Continue Reading →
Chhaava – My Flash Review!
Against the usual norm of a hero introduction scene, Chhaava begins with a scene that introduces the villain. The villain here is Aurangzeb, often referred to in this film simply as Aurang, the last of the famous Mughal kings who ruled India.
