Raja Shivaji review
As per WION's Pragati Awasthi, "Shot and made with pure and good feelings, Riteish's movie grips your attention in the second half. The ruthlessness, brutality and bloodshed are a lot and could be a little less. In the end, the movie has a cameo by Salman Khan, where you see him and Riteish as Sambhaji fighting, giving the feeling that I'm watching the climax of some action movie."

"Performance-wise, Riteish holds your attention with his committed performance. But surely, not his finest. He manages to convey his feelings that he had with the historical figure, even if the script lacks them. The supporting cast also contributes effectively. Sanjay Dutt's 2.0 version as a rowdy villain again impresses. Vidya Balan knows how to play with her emotions, and she, with her Began Jaan aura, has again given a win-win performance. Abhishek Bachchan did his best in the role of the warrior, but the character didn’t suit him."
