Julia This is a fascinating story, the lead actress does a great job adding humanity to this larger than life historical figure, and the battle scenes are awesome. Also I loved seeing this story told through the eyes of an Indian female director & was moved by the details she included in the story.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The Warrior Queen of Jhansi disposes of the idea that biopics about the geopolitical disputes of colonial era royalty must be boring. Not coincidentally, it also disposes of the idea that the only worthy subjects of "serious" historical films are old white men. Both the action and the subject matter are refreshing. The cinematography and directing are both beautiful. And Devika Bhise delivers an absolutely exceptional performance as the main protagonist. You must go see this film! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked this movie quite a bit. It's "based on a true story", though who knows how much Hollywood magic is added to the tale, and gives a brief overview of one of India's famous female leaders of the revolt against Great Britain's East India Company in the mid-1850s. The lead actress and co-writer, Devika Bhise as the "warrior queen", is just adorable to look at and delivers a nice performance. Costumes are excellent, and the few battle scenes are good. Overall the movie does feel a bit "light" or maybe even rushed, and probably should have spent more time fleshing some of the major characters. One of the few movies I'd say would have been much better with another 20-30 minutes added to the 1:43 run-time. If this were a Netflix or Amazon Prime movie, it would probably get much better reviews. Glad I didn't let the RT scores keep my away from it. There are much better movies in theaters right now if you're limited on time or money, but this one's worth a matinee or A-list low-cost viewing.
