Manikarnika- The Queen of Jhansi

With a promise of stimulating patriotic zeal among the Indian movie buffs some 160 years post Rani Laxmi Bai laying down her life on the battle-field, Manikarnika- The Queen of Jhansi, turned out to be a too tiring movie for making the audience leave the theatre with enthusiasm and rekindled patriotism.

The stilted dialogues sound like products of downright lethargy, the visual effects are of a very poor grade and even the on-screen performances are pedestrian.

Kangana Ranaut, the lead actress of the film also grabs directing credits ahead of Radha Krishna Jagalamudi.

The film must be blamed for blowing the history of India to smithereens as well as for reducing Jhansi ki Rani, one of the bravest warriors of the Indian history to a mere stunt queen.

The short yet glorious life of the queen surely deserves to be documented and filmed but it deserves a much better version than this.

We surely would have done that if only her exploits were accompanied with just a touch of believable humanity.
