Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi

At first, hope this movie does not damage the old legends in any wrong way.

One of Kangana's best. Have seen her other movies and it is good to know that she is a multi-talented actress. Make-up and Costumes did not make the audience tired; also the graphics and stunts are at a good level.

Some have mentioned this movie has created an ordinary Queen as a Queen with superpowers. But when seeing the movie all I could think of her as a super Queen. Even without all that stunts, what she had done is outstanding. Her bravery, her courage, her confidence... of course she is a legendary person. Cannot understand what is so harmful when adding some sugar to praise such a great character.

Hope to see another good work soon.

No words to describe Kangana's performance as an actor and Director. Cast performances are good and so is the dialogue delivery. Emotions displayed and captured by the Kangana required no dialogues. Over all fine movie on such an historical brave figure.

A must watch!

For all those Indians living out there you should watch this epic movie. The movie started with goosebumps and with Har Har Mahadev. Don't miss..

Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is a biographical account of how Rani Laxmibai waged a war against the East India Company.

Manikarnika starts with Amitabh Bachchan's booming baritone where he throws light on how the riches of India are fast being plundered by the British. Within seconds, we are led into the world of Manikarnika through Kangana Ranaut's imposing screen presence.

Kangana captivates your attention in every frame and grows from strength to strength as the film progresses. This is clearly one of her best performances.

The narrative of the film directed by Kangana Ranaut and Krish, stays on course showing the internal struggle within Jhansi's royal family and unraveling important historical events during the 1800s. Some incidents like the Meerut Sepoy mutiny of 1857 are used as reference points, but the focus remains on Jhansi's rebellion against the British.

Film succeeds in stoking the patriotic passion within the audience without being too overbearing.

The second half is where the real drama unfolds with scenes on the battlefield, intense action sequences, bloody killings, escape, loss and triumph.

There aren't much dull moments in this rousing war drama.

Overall, Manikarnika is a well-made film that highlights Kangana's prowess as an actor.

Short of an epic, this larger-than-life war drama has enough valour and spirit to keep you engaged in these pages of history.

Worth a watch..!!

The movie shows you two things relevant in present day situation.. The role of women in nation building and the feel of patriotism which is a must in todays situation where there are many anti nationalism bringing up.I loved the movie and I think KANGNA is outstanding in her performance.She deserves a national Award for this.
