After braving protests and numerous controversies, Kangana Ranaut-starrer Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi hits theatres today. The film, which captures the life story of Rani Laxmibai and her fight against the British, courted controversy over "wrongly" depicting historical facts.
The film, which is releasing alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer Thackeray, also features Ankita Lokhande, Suresh Oberoi, Atul Kulkarni, Danny Denzongappa and Jisshu Sengupta in key roles. The film has been written by Baahubali writer K V Vijayendra Prasad.
If initial reviews are anything to go by, the audience seems impressed with Kangana's performance in the film. In his one word review, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh has called the film "powerful" and rated it 3.5/5.
He further tweeted: "Inspiring movie that has scale and soul... Kangana, take a bow. You’re terrific... First half could be tighter. Second half awe-inspiring... Climax brilliant... Power, pride, patriotism - this has it all. #ManikarnikaReview." (sic)
