It’s always tough to make a come back after few flops, it’s always challenging when there’s many walk-outs in the middle of filming, which further forces you to helm the project – A period film – do or die situation in all means and to add more miseries; when the entire environment around you is scheming and hostile. It takes Kangana Ranaut to once again rewrite her own trajectory, which once again propels North-bound and this time it’s with Manikarnika.
Kangana Ranaut is the heart and soul of Manikarnika and none of her contemporary can ever come close to her, none could have performed like her. She retreated herself and lived as Jhansi Rani Laxmi Bai to retell the legacy and bravery which will forever remain in the hearts of Bharatvarsh’s people.
Manikarnika is a well made film with good performances by all, Dialogues, BGM, VFX works goes well with the theme. Kangana excels even in her maiden directorial venture.
Though the first half drags and goes a bit slow with unwanted songs, but it’s the second half which complements the cause. The war episodes, the action sequences are well choreographed.
PS: Shut the left-biased media and keep thronging to the movie halls to watch Nationalists films which are literally burning them. Many more in the offing in the coming months.
Retrospect, On My Take!
