Rating:

After two rather irredeemable depictions (Manikarnika & Sye Raa Narsimha Reddy) of Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi, comes this third one – rather unremarkable and shabbily put-together. Given its international markings, one expected better.

A period piece, this film about Lakshmibai, one of the iconic Indian leaders who led the fight against the British East India Company during the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, is rather insipid and unexciting. The earlier two had enough melodrama to draw in a certain target audience. This one doesn't even try.
