I dont know what you expected from the movie

For me, I went to see a movie about the queen of Jhansi and I got to see that .

All the relevant characters in her life do make an appearance but in passing . They all deserve a biopic of their own coz they all did something substantial but this movie was about Jhansi ki Rani and thats what you get to see.

I am satisfied with that.

Its not that others don't have anything to do, they do but if you r expecting to see a detailed part on Sadashiv Rao, then this movie isnt the one for you.

This movie is about Jhansi ki Rani and thats what you get

If you reduced all of the relevant people in your life to "present in passing " would you still be the same you? We need to know something about those people to more fully understand RLB. Relevant characters should have relevance. In real life, the people around her played important parts in how and why she became who she was and did what she did. Allowing those characters some scope could have made RLB much more compelling as a full fledged human instead of a caricature. So I suppose it depends on whether you'd like to see her brought to life on screen or see an impression of her on screen. To each his/her own.

The movie shows Jhansi Ki rani from an innocent girl to a wife, mother and warrior...

of course all the people relevant in her journey do make an appearance.

The movie is already 2 1/2 hrs long or more, if thy focus on other characters and show them substantially, you wont be able to see the queen's journey

As i said, you have to see the movie to understand what i am saying.

Its not fair that you are having this discussion about how much screen time each substantial character gets without watching it.

They do have a role and they do play a part but the movie is about Jhansi Ki Rani and you get that .

Khans would hv been ripped apart by now if the same interview was given by a director fr a khan ..but fr kangna ,its feminism 😎..

On a serious note this movie is make or break fr kangna in industry ..if it works she will always hv the dominance in her every movie and noone will question her but if it fails then no producer will give in to her bizzare demands anymore ..

Aamir did same with taare zameen par old director and as fan I dint like it ..but he went onto achieve success with the movie ..so noone questioned him..lets see if kangna can do the same ..

Forget Khans...Just imagine if it were RK/RS...😆

About TZP...I wasn't aware at that time of all the hullaboo about it but after googling what I found is that that Aamir took over from the concept stage itself not after the movie was completely shot by the other director?

Right?
Amnd anyway.. it's CLEAR the first half is more about romance etc.. check the director's style and see he is telling the truth.

He even says that scenes were deleted added.. and it's a patchwork - smart move if it wasn't despicable for stealing his work- as by mixiong the scenes is harder to see which bits are hers or his.. so she can't be criticised.

There's no problem with a woman being centric.

The problem lies with the rest of the characters being mere props and not helping in the story flow enough..they are barely there..

FOr a story to work you need other chartacters to interact with the main. not just a ME ME ME

SImply put. If superstars meddle- which I also don;t agree with- maybe the movie shows 60-70/% the superstar and the rest of 30-40% is the others.

In this case it's 95% her and 5 % the others.. that proportion is ridiculous!
