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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
While The Black Prince could've been a compelling real-life inspired drama, it strictly manages to stay average fare. Go to Full Review
Renuka Vyavahare The Times of India 10/19/2017
3/5
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. Go to Full Review

The Cover C Jan 15 Such a great real story,,, Satinder Sartaj made it realistic without over heavy dialogue.... See more Reaction C 09/23/2024 A great movie about the life of duleep singh with great performances from sartaaj saab and shabana azmi. See more 08/22/2020 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. See more Farah R @Farah 01/01/2019 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. See more 08/03/2017 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. See more 07/28/2017 Great historical biopic. Shares a story that is not well-known. See more Read all reviews
