Critical response

[edit]

Santosh Bhingarde of Saam TV rated 3.5 stars out of 5 stars and wrote "Amar Mohile's background music makes the movie more interesting and the special thing is that the music of the movie is melodious, for that Devdutt Manisha Baji has to be appreciated. However, there are some illogical elements in the film that do not make sense."[7] Anub George of The Times of India rated 3.0 out of 5 stars and wrote "An action-packed recreation of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's times."[8] Prerana Janham of Sakal gave 3 stars and wrote "Watching the fiery history of Shambhuraj through the medium of this film is an enriching experience."[9] Jaideep Pathkaji of Maharashtra Times rated 3/5 and wrote "Even if the movie does not give a very 'great' experience showing the life of Shambhuraj, it is definitely worth watching once."[10] Devendra Jadhav of Lokmat rated 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "The songs and music in the movies create excitement on the occasion of the battle. It seems that the movie is too long before the interval. So there is no doubt that if the length had been reduced a little, Shivarayancha Chhava would have been more effective."[11] Jyoti Venkatesh of Cine Blitz awarded 3 stars out of 5 and wrote "It is no wonder that the film manages to recreate the opulence and intrigue in the halls of both the Mughal and the Maratha courts."[12] Reshma Raikwar of Loksatta wrote "The film has become an immersive experience as the director has emphasized more on the strategic decisions taken by him as the king of the Ryotas, the exploits of his valiant chieftains than merely presenting the history."[13]
