Power packed performance

Manikarnika has everything, but lacks the same intensity of direction almost for the first 40 minutes. It is noticeable, had this movie been in the hands of a more experienced director, this could have been improvised here and there. I cannot conclude that the movie hasn't much to offer the audience as well, even in those first 40 minutes. But the direction seems a cracked spell at times during the movie which seems crackled further through poor VFX during few instances. Songs are amazing, which is as a matter of fact drew me to the theater. Shankar Ehsaan Loy are back with a bang, that has complimented Prasoon Joshi's lyrics so rightly. But what is lacking, is timing in the movie. Songs seem a bit too many in the movie which would have sounded even better if their gelling with the flow of the movie was better. Songs should always be rightly placed, and must compliment the movie rather than being an impediment to its flow, is what I believe.Having said that, there is no doubt that the battle scenes, scenes with weaving battle strategics are commendable. Kangana Ranaut has proved yet again that she can mold into any character that comes to her in making. Supporting crew has done their job great. A one time watch, and lore to sing in bits for a long time, for sure.

Thrilling patriotic film - but with too much gory Violence!

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!
