The Warrior Queen of Jhansi

The Warrior Queen Of Jhansi is based on Rani Lakshmi Bai also known as Manikarnika.

This movie follows the same person and timeline as Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi. While Manikarnika tended more towards the action, The Warrior Queen Of Jhansi tended more towards the political. It was also more grounded in its approach to the history with which it was dealing.

The casting for the film was well done, and the actress playing Rani Lakshmi Bai was great in her role as the Rani of Jhansi. However compared to the Kangana Ranaut version I just didn't enjoy this one as much. Though it was no fault of the actress as I feel she did as good a job as she was able.

The vfx in this movie were actually a bit better then in Manikarnika. At least that's what I feel.

The story as I said was more grounded and mentioned several facts that history also mentions. So it was definitely nice that they included little details like the Pork, Beef grease on the Enfield Rifles which was a major contributing factor, along with Indian soldiers having to serve overseas in them rebelling against the British oppressors.

The movie is a more realistic feeling, grounded approach then Manikarnika was, however it also glosses over a lot of the early life of the Rani with her husband the Maharaja.

All in all it is good movie, with a different take and angle on the life of Rani Manikarnika Lakshmi Bai. I did however enjoy Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi more then this version. So I'll be giving it a 7/10 only. That being said both films deserve a watch if you are interested in the life of this legendary queen!
