Don't tell addatoday, kadel, real box-office etc. They are not that accurate and many times provide guesstimates.

Lovely movie .

Kangana did an awesome job , she looks so regal and beautiful in it .

Queen Lakshmi was shown like a Supergirl sort of character but that's Ok, she was almost a super heroine , always leading from the front and way way ahead of her times .

Loved how she put her mother in law in place and how she showed the British Officers their place .

Alway have been a fan of Ankita and it was great to see her after such a long time . Hope she gets more work . Her role was small but she did well .

The action director was superb , he should get many awards for this movie .
Loved the whole Girl Power show ...

Danny did good too , his role was nice as well .

I started this movie for Kangana and also Ankita but the character of Rani Lakshmi stays with you and you forget everyone else . What a brave lady and she was such a lovely lady , mixing and mingling with. the villagers showing empathy to animals .

Everyone should see this film for this awesome heroine . 👏👍🏼

SPOILERS AHEAD...

Characters like Jhalkaribai (Ankita Lokhande) and Sangram Singh (Taher Shabbir) come and go as they please. No one gets anything close to a graph. It's the same with the scenes: the one where Manikarnika refuses to wear the garb of a widow, or the one where women are recruited into the army, or the one where the "good Muslim character dies. They just don't build. They just don't explode. Instead, the film relies on cannon after cannon being set off. But even in these war scenes, the geography is confusing and the editing has no sweep. Compare the stretch where Lakshmibai battles assailants in order to save her young son with the similar sequence in Bajirao Mastani, and you'll see the difference between a wannabe and a visionary. Even the cinematography is flat. The frames seem to be out of a well-lit jewellery commercial.

Is this mess-up the result of the famous behind-the scenes trouble between actress and director, which now appears to have been a war on par with the one on screen? There are certainly indications that Manikarnika is something of a vanity project for its heroine. When Lakshmibai charges out of her fort and battles the British amidst exploding cannons and the sand kicked up by the hooves of horses, her face remains untouched by mud or ash, and her lipstick remains indestructible. What about the performance, you ask? It's a full-throated one quite literally so. After the death of a loved one, Kangana opens her mouth so wide in anguish that we fear we're about to catch a glimpse of the royal epiglottis. We see not a bereaved mother but an actress throwing the kitchen sink at us. You want to applaud. But first, you want to duck.

Manikarnika Does Pretty Well In Week One
Friday 01 February 2018 11.00 IST
Box Office India Trade Network

Manikarnika - The Queen Of Jhansi (Hindi) did pretty well in its first week though it was helped by the huge Republic Day holiday on Saturday. The film collected close to 57 crore nett in week one though if the holiday was not there the collections would be around 50-51 crore nett.

The weekdays have actually held well especially considering the response to the film from the audience is not so good. So despite the limited appreciation the film has managed to fair business at the box office but the question is can it continue this way. The collections in Mumbai circuit on Thursday are less than 1 crore nett which is very low and its possible the film will see further drops in the second week. Its Delhi / UP which is holding the film and its collecting more than Mumbai circuit.

The second Friday is crucial for the film as there is a chance the film can still emerge a HIT if it holds strongly but it will be tough considering the public reports. The collections of Manikarnika - The Queen Of Jhansi (Hindi) are as follows.



Friday - 7,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 17,75,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 14,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,25,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 4,10,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 56,85,00,000 apprx



LOL I give up in interpreting their analysis. I thought I understood how distribution costs and verdicts work. i guess there's a different criteria for this one. Kangana fans still have hope for the second week. 👍🏼
