The Black Prince never strikes a dramatic flow as the Maharajahs attempts to do good for his homeland fall flat time and time again, preventing any bu ..

Just like its protagonist, it lacks drive and a sense of purpose.

It is unbearable as is Kavi Razs dull grind of a biopic on the dude.

Its his tragic story thats heart breaking more than the snail paced execution, stoic portrayal by Sartaaj and ineffective writing.

(M) 121 minutes This is one of those cases where the material behind a film turns out to be much more interesting than the film itself.

And its exactly what youd expect from genre busting writer/director Lowery (Aint Them Bodies Saints).

Verdict: Duleep Singhs tragic tale doesnt do justice to the Maharaj. We have heard a lot about the battle of 1857. The key players like Rani Lakshmiba ..

At the beginning of Kavi Razs The Black Prince we hear in a stentorian voice over that the Lion of Punjab, a Sikh king, was fearsome, fearless and fea ..

Sartaaj is a complete miscast in the lead role, and doesnt lend any dignity to the demands of the role.

Though her role hardly captures the captivatingly complex qualities of Rani Jindan, powerhouse actress Azmi is the one performer to leave a mark.
Variety

Unfortunately, soul sappingly dull scripting and an embarrassingly inert lead performance nukes and all good intentions for one bad outcome.
Herald Sun

But the story is by no means rousing, despite writer/director Kavi Razs embarrassing attempts to make it feel that way.

While The Black Prince couldve been a compelling real life inspired drama, it strictly manages to stay average fare.

The film is not song and dance Bollywood, nor does it fall into the Punjabi language genre which is bloated these days with slapstick comedies.

Director Kavi Raz should be pinned for this big screen bore and for failing to render a terrific tale into a fitting tribute.
