Prahaar Review
The Free Press Journal reviewer gave Prahaar: The Untold Story Of Ujjwal Nikam 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "The film is a gripping courtroom drama that keeps you invested through its writing, performances and direction. While Rajkummar Rao's occasional struggle with the Marathi accent and Wamiqa Gabbi's limited role prevent it from being flawless, the film succeeds in presenting a familiar chapter of Indian history from a different perspective. If you enjoy courtroom dramas based on real events, Prahaar is worth watching on the big screen.
