The Warrior Queen of Jhansi

It's obvious that there are many Indian contributors on this site who have given this movie 'one star' reviews, but IMO, this is based not on the movie but their own ideas and biases about history.

This is (literally) a family affair, directed, produced and written by the Bhise's, prominent amongst which is the main protagonist - Queen Rani - played very well by Devika Bhise as the warrior queen - she has what it takes to be a star.

In the 1850's Britain was a force to reckon with and they formed armies and navies to colonize scores of countries worldwide; even today in 2020 The Queen (ER2) is Head of The British Commonwealth, some 50 odd now self governing countries are a part, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and yes India, which has a special status.

Queen Jansi began the uprising and resistance which lead to India's independence less than a century later.

True, it can be a tad slow at times and obviously low budget, but unlike 'Bahubali' which was all about internal Indian affairs, Jhansi was about the heart and soul of a country looking to free itself from foreign oversight and governance.

As long as you're not looking for Hollywood gloss, IMO, Jhansi is a worthwhile 90 minutes. I give this movie 7/10.
