The film tells the Panippat 3rd battle between Marathas and Mughals and it got involved in many censures because of the wrong depiction of Maharaja Surajmal, the legendary Bharatpur’s Jat ruler.

There was an installment that Maharaja Surajmal offered to give Sadashiv Rao a hand in fighting Abdali in exchange for Agra fort and Sadashiv then refused to agree. This scene attracted lots of adverse opinions demanding it to removed from the film.

The film’s trailer created a rage in the audience as the dialogue about marital rape was strongly criticized.

The Bhumi Pednekar - Ayushmann Khurrana movie was not an exception when it comes to movies that faced backlashes since the trailer was released.
