Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail "I will not vanish without a fight," Singh vows. But he kind of does. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 22, 2017 Full Review Ryan Porter Toronto Star The Black Prince may follow the formula of a prestige pic, but this messy film just shows why those truly stirring historical dramas deserve the awards season glory they get. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 21, 2017 Full Review Jay Weissberg Variety Indian patriotism gussied up by Stately Home porn. Jul 21, 2017 Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo Darpan Magazine The Black Prince never strikes a dramatic flow as the Maharajah's attempts to do good for his homeland fall flat time and time again, preventing any build up. Jan 17, 2020 Full Review Rachit Gupta Filmfare While The Black Prince could've been a compelling real-life inspired drama, it strictly manages to stay average fare. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 26, 2017 Full Review Renuka Vyavahare The Times of India Despite the story's massive potential, Raz's sincere but dimly-lit drama, monotonously shot within the four walls of a church or a heritage room, ends up being a tedious watch. Just like its protagonist, it lacks drive and a sense of purpose. Rated: 3/5 Oct 19, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Reaction C A great movie about the life of duleep singh with great performances from sartaaj saab and shabana azmi. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Jaswinder S This movie was the best movie about history of punjab and why one of the greatest Empire THE EMPIRE OF PUNJAB came to an end. This movie was filled with emotions and made me cry to see how something so big could come to an end. Music and songs are top tier. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Definately a must watch to learn more about what happened and how the British invaded. I bet it definitely would not be liked by the British. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review farah r An insightful biopic depicting the untold story of Maharaja Duleep Singh, The Black Prince is a must watch for anyone looking to obtain more knowledge on a surprisingly shrouded event in history. The film is well-written, well-acted, and beautifully shot but its leisurely pace can be overbearing and ultimately resulted in a loss of interest. Perhaps a shorter version would've done better. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Very interesting bio pic hence rating. Cons The pace of the movie is a little too slow and background music overpowering. The protagonist is a Fleming actor and that's visible. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Great historical biopic. Shares a story that is not well-known. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
