 Review of movie and my
Opinions about the movie
● The movie Manikarnika: the queen of Jhansi has left me
speechless. Kangana Ranaut is a hero in every sense.
She has essayed the role of the legendary Rani
Laxmibai with full justice. It felt as if she was living
and breathing the legendary figure. Although each
character has been depicted and acted by
excellently, no other character in the movie
bringsabout the passion, the fervour and

3
⚫ that gut wrenching heart wrenching patriotic
feeling like Kangana. The intensity in her eyes
and the heaviness in her tone do absolute justice
to the burning desire of freedom. The movie begins
on a grand scale and picks up momentum after
the interval. In fact as soon as the second half
begins, one cannot take their sight away from
the screen. One after the other war sequences
● keep your heart pumping like crazy. However it is only
the last battle which pays in its absolute truest form,
a well deserved homage to RaniLaxmi bai. The special
effects in it are definitely never seen before for a
woman centric film. The first half depicts the
princess's journey, her childhood days, her
fearlessness in every aspect of life , subsequent
marriage and being cheated by the insiders. The
warrior queen comes to life on the big screen
beautifully, bravely and courageously after

5
the interval. Kangana has also done a fabulous
job with direction. Right from the scenes where
she is seen winning over the hearts of the
villagers to empowering women and teaching
them baitle skills, all falls into place. The
songs Vijayi Bhava isfantastic but the song
Bharat ye rehna chajiye issomething that

6
stays with you even after you leavethe cinema hall.
Finally we have a queen that isdepicted for her
legend, bravery and courage and notfor her heavy
jewellery and tons of clothing (whichare
collectively heavier than her own bodily weightas
depicted in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movie). Wethe
audience in the theatre couldn't help but give
athunderous round of applause to the team of
themovie for making this movie a spectacular treat. A
patriotic film well deserved for the 7
● Republic Day. Amust watch for everybody kids, adults
and theelderly. So many details of the entire
politicalscenario of the battle of Jhansi are brought
to thenotice of the masses through the film. The
poisoningof Rani Laxmibai's child and husband to the
sacrificemade by Jhalkari bai to the bond of trust
betweenTatya Tope and Laxmibai. Truly
outstanding.Kangana Ranaut is truly artistically and
creativelyblessed. It's worth mentioning that this is
8
the only actress who started major reforms in the
industry that she works in like women empowerment
and spoke against major issues like nepotism
publicly. A power house of talent that picks up
national awards back to back. There is something
about her in a good way that separates her from
the other to

9
pactresses. Kangana is a true inspiration to both men and
women and is an epitome of how to hold on to your self-
belief in trying situations and circumstances and prove
yourself through your body of work . Goosebumps
garunteed all through the second half and even after
you leave the theatre. After watching the movie, you will
certainly feel like contributing and that too proudly, to
your own country in your own way. A
definite must watch, no other way about it. An honest 4
stars out of 5.May the legend of Rani Laxmi bai win over
the box office as much as it does over our hearts.
