“We accept that it is all right for the makers to take the title literally—it means lion cub. It, however, makes no sense to use that as an excuse to roll out an endless parade of growls and scowls in the service of battle scenes that go on and on.”

Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV
“Several Bollywood historicals are hysterical. This one is angry, hostile even… The thirst for comeuppance, vengeance and macho reprisal is stark, making for a frequently violent, often draining experience.”
Nandini Ramnath, Scroll
“How do you pull off a film which talks up a historical figure not as well known as his illustrious parent, without us wondering: how much is fact, and how much fiction?”
