Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi will raise your patriotic feelings and expand your chest to 56 inches or even more.

Kangana breathes Fire & Fury in her role as the iconic Rani of Jhansi! That she herself has directed the film (although not necessarily fully) puts her in a different league - with other actresses "looking up at her with awe"! LOL!

Story is not 100% true! Some portions might be fictional!

I'd have preferred a realistic presentation - without too much Glamour and Melodrama. Like in those dumb & glamorous TV serials...in this film too, ladies are wearing Make-ups at all times. Ridiculous!

Special effects are NOT that realistic, esp. the Cannon Balls banging on the walls of the Fort. It clearly looks artificial! Even the long trail of fire on the ground during the War looks artificial and the soldiers are clearly shown stepping on it. LOL!

Cinematography gives us a colourful canvas of visual splendour. The sets are Majestic and 100% Royal!

The acting of the English actors is poor! It looks very "stagey" and the dialogs contrived!

Finally, there is TOO much of Violence and explicit scenes of bodily injuries! Strange that no one is objecting to that! After all, this wonderful movie is for everyone. Therefore, such gory show of bodily harm should have been avoided altogether.

Why the hell is it ok to show explicit violence, but not Nudity and explicit Sex? Even if the latter is shown, the films gets "A". The same standard should be applicable to explicit Violence!

The production of this film was a big mess. But still a good effort was made to portray Rani LaxmiBai's epic persona on Big Screen. Kangana leads the movie with a mighty performance, properly embracing the courage & rage of her. The dialogues are mostly well written except the parts where British officers speak. Some of the action scenes were done well, others were awful. Some songs were totally unnecessary, supporting actors didnt have much to do but the actors gave credible performances. Overall an above average movie.

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.
