Chhaava (2025)
Chhaava is streaming in the UAE on Netflix.
The verdict
Chhaava earns its keep as a steady Hindi film that knows its audience. It holds a 7.0/10 on TMDB from 63 ratings, well above the typical run of new releases. At 161 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In the UAE you can stream it on Netflix.
Should you spend 2h 41m on it?
2h 41m of Hindi history with action threaded through. A little over the usual, so start it earlier than you think.
