Part of the problem is that Chopra goes on an overkill with his images at the cost of his script.

Time Out

Set in present day Rajasthan, India, this stunningly beautiful film is a worthy, if not largely successful, attempt at commercial Bollywood cinema.

Variety

Strongly cast tale of royal scheming, family skeletons and healthy slaughter is an involving mood piece.

Future Movies UK

Set in present day India, the film has a special resonance for today's world, beleaguered by hate and violence born from fanatical belief.

Rated: 3.5/5

This is robust storytelling, with blood and thunder pumping through its veins, and real whiskers on its face.

Not your typically silly Bollywood offering, this relatively short Indian saga is pretty to look at, demonstrating with gentle humor how a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
