Full reviewRanveer Singh shines in his portrayal of Bhansali's Khilji as a heartless beast. He is menacing, brutal, passionate, unpredictable and exciting to watch.
Full reviewSuch excess could have proved deadening, but dynamic deployment of old-school star power keeps almost all its scenes alive with internal tensions.
