Mind blowing movie which tells a true history of India where Mohammad Ghori is defeated by Indian Queen Nayika Devi. A must for all Indian.
venkteshnpathak7 May 2022
When I heard about Nayika Devi movie, I was sceptical about the movie quality. I went to theatre to watch this movie without any expectations.

Once the movie starts, it's just blew my mind. It doesn't seem like a regional movie, rather it creates feeling like you are watching a grandeur style of Southern cinema.

Acting : You will be amazed by the acting skill of Khushi Shah. She Carries entire movie on her shoulder. She has given her best. Chunky Pandey gives a proper justice to the role of Mohammad Ghori. Chirag Jani's role as Ajaypal is perfect. Jayesh more's performance is also very good. Overall, you will be totally satisfied with the acting skill of all important Star cast.

Songs : Aaj Karo Kesariya is a powerful patriotic song, enough to create goosebumps. This excellent song is written by Chirag Tripathi. Sung by Parthiv Gohil and Aditya Gadhavi in their inspiring voice. Shambhu Shankra is another gem song sung by Kailash Kher. Patan Na Patrani is another fantastic song sung by Shruti Pathak. Nayika Devi' s other songs are superb, and it doesn't slow down the pace of movie. Once you watch the movie, you will start humming all these songs.

Music : Excellent music is given by Parth Bharat Thakkar.

Direction : You will be totally mesmerized by the direction. Each scene is larger than life. Director Nitin G has done a lot of hard work. After few minutes you will start feeling that you are watching a Hollywood movie not a regional one. You will be surprised to know that true Historical movie can be made with this kind of perfection.

Producer : One thing I must have to say that nobody knew about Nayika Devi's glorious history before this movie. Hat's off to Producer Umesh Sharma for their courage to bring such a masterpiece. Nayika Devi is a first Gujarati Historical drama movie and We are always grateful for producers contribution.

Conclusion : Don't miss the chance to watch this movie in theatre. A patriotic movie with a perfect combination of Awesome story, song, and superb cinematography.

Only one question remains : Why such a masterpiece movie is not promoted heavily? Nayika Devi should be dubbed in Hindi and should be released nationally.

A must watch for all Indian to know true history.

Glorious History Shown
A must see for all those who thinks Bharat is just a land of losers. If we were, we would've been refugees in a different country as Zorostrians are. We stood firm and we still stand. These are the kind of stories that you should hear about from feminists, about real empowerment. Not about shedding clothes or about crying about issues. But fighting for what is right. Huge thumbs up to the makers.

A masterpiece, A new era of Gujarati movie begin with Nayika Devi
nikulparekh-623307 May 2022
This is a first war based historical drama movie made in Gujarati Cinema. There is a lot of story portraying valour of Kshtriya King, but we never heard of any courageous story of Kshtriya Queen. Here comes the Nayika Devi, a queen of Patan in Gujarat who defeated Mohammad Ghori at the heels of Mount Abu. This defeat was so shocking for Mohammad Ghori that he didn't leave his Kabila for next 13 years.

Well researched movie. This is not a typical regional cinema; it is a national level movie. Khushi shah shines as a Nayika Devi with her unmatched performance. Chunkey Pandey role is exciting.

Nayika devi's songs are best, specially Aaj Karo Kesariya. Nayiki Devi's music is fabulous.

A must watch for everyone.

Poor Execution of a Remarkable Story
amanrajabali23 March 2023
The direction as well as the editing is choppy, and the acting is lackluster, failing to bring the characters to life.

Moreover, the fight scenes are poorly choreographed, with actors killing their opponents with clean swords and no bloodstains, a glaring inconsistency that detracts from the realism of the story.

The portrayal of Muhammad Ghori is also problematic. The character is unnecessarily made to look repulsive, and the actor's performance lacks nuance, further undermining the authenticity of the film.

Additionally, there are several lapses in continuity that further highlight the inadequacies of the filmmaking. For instance, when the king is beheaded, the queen cradles him in her lap, but when she rises, there are no bloodstains on her clothes or hands. And many more such scenes.

The lighting in some scenes is also inconsistent, appearing brighter than the flames from torches.

Well, this has some noteworthy historical elements but falls short in execution.

The technical flaws and inconsistencies detract from the viewing experience, making it difficult to fully immerse oneself in the story.

Superb
skclothing17 May 2022
The story-line is unpredictable and goosebumps throughout the movie. Full action on first half and the real story begins at second half.

Our Indian history is unforgettable.

Poor execution of a potential blockbuster
ronakshah199011 August 2023
Most reviews seem to be unable to differentiate between historical character and film. Just because one likes a certain character, dynasty, empire, or period of history does not automatically make any film on it marvellous.

While the film is a good attempt, it fails in several aspects.

1. Acting - While some of the characters acted well, the lead definitely needs a much wider range of emotions - she had just two expressions - an angry stern ruler and a shouting screaming warrior. In war, no one is constantly shouting without reason and there's many different ways to depict anger and aggression.

2. Fight choreography - Indian films seem to have an obsession with unnecessary slow-mo shots, unrealistic heroics (one person taking on 10 and still winning), flying through the air, ... The fights seems extremely fake and were almost unwatchable.

3. Inconsistencies and inaccuracies - a. If the Ghoris spoke in Hindi, shouldn't other kingdoms such as the Marathas and those from Kashi also talk in Hindi?

B. The 'gh' in Ghori is pronounced as 'gh' in ghum or gharib and not as that in 'ghamand'. At least the Muslim characters would be able to pronounce their own name correctly?

C. The lead couldn't correctly pronounce the 'n' in Patan or 'aapne', instead saying 'aapde', basics that should've been corrected.

D. Unnecessary vilification - Another trend in Indian films, from Padmavat to Tanhaji and Panipat is the overvillificaion of Muslim characters. No, they don't wear fur coats in the Indian heat, they don't dress only in black, they're not savages who eat like animals, they're not sex fiends. It just takes away from history!

While the film had potential, it failed for me in several departments. Some of the songs were nice. It was an overall decent attempt, but so much could have been done better.

The various roles played by a woman, the tenderness of her being coupled with fierceness of her character is very well written. Every frame is owned by all the actors.

The movie is based on the real story of Nayika devi. It tells the story of a brave woman who makes us proud of our strong ancestors. Absolutely Fabolous movie.

Nayikadevi is awesome movie
gourav-0653527 May 2022
My family and I just got the pleasure to watch "Nayikadevi: The Warrior. The image is a delight to look at, despite its intermittent nature. After seeing the film, it seems that we know very little about Patan's or Gujarat's rich history.

The picture is lovely to look at
rajodasab27 May 2022
The other day, my family and I went to see "Nayikadevi: The Warrior." The picture is lovely to look at, even though it was shot in a random way. After watching the video, it seems like we don't know much about the beautiful past of Patan or Gujarat.

jneesham-4430527 May 2022
My family and I had the opportunity to see "Nayikadevi: The Warrior" the other day. Beautifully shot, although sporadic, the picture is a treat to see. After seeing the video, it seems that we have little knowledge about Patan's or Gujarat's beautiful past.

Nice movie
urvashiatoz27 May 2022
We never heard of this movie until we needed a rainy day diversion. It is a gripping story that avoids all the usual clichés in the hostage drama. Always recommend this movie.
