afaik, it is at least an average grosser.
Also why are people calling the Kangu poor in the movie, although I haven't read single review in it where her acting was trashed.
Although most have said movie has a painfully boring first half and a decent second half.

Not sure of box office
But she lived Rani Lakshmi Bai in my POV

Also I personally loved the first half , it shows her journey from an innocent naughty girl, wife , mother butalso shows shades of her hidden strong personality

I dont know abt others but I found the movie engrossing, well made, and at least 70% historically accurate.
Kangana was magnificient in her role, she was Manikarnika in every way, she lived the role of the warrior queen a hundred percent!
Jishu, Ankita, Danny all had ample screen space although the focus was on the queen which is expected since the movie IS abt her.
The battle scene inside Jhansi fort, the battle scene at the end, all were heart pumping, violently realistic, some of the best battle scenes Ive watched in Hindi cinema.
Manu was fighting like a woman possessed, cutting thru British soldiers right and left with ferocious strength and agility.
Raja and Manu scenes were very cute, romantic and showed the deep respect, love and understanding between them.
The baby's death, the Raja's death scenes were very emotional, poignant, Kangana acted brilliantly
The British and Sadashiv were such evil monsters, fury seers thru to see their heinous acts
The VFX wasnt that good bt then at that budget it couldnt have been much better.
The palatial sets, design and art decoration was apt and tastefully done, loved Raja's library and throne.
Overall a satisfying and paisa vasool historical movie according to me, I would advise people to watch it on big screen for the full experience.
I think it can make upto 100 crores if it sustains for 2 more weeks. Im surprised that its not getting more appreciation, as it has some deep and genuine patriotic ethos.

People outside IF have unanimously praised her performance you can literally see that on Twitter or YouTube public reaction videos taken outside cinemas.

Buzz wise its down in the dumps. Idk about hit or flop. Usually there's a lot of talk when a movie makes it unless its a sleeper hit. Someone on the other thread told me its gonna get average tag. Anyway, going to catch the movie in a few mins so lets see performance wise how it is.

Movie is trash tbh
Kangana shines coz only her role is written as to be shine bakiyon ko kuchh diya hi nahi.
I personally find her pretty average

Ppl are calling it flop cz at Box office it would best be average verdict.
Also it trended poorly everywhere except some places so this notion that ppl loved it is also false , public review is also mixed to bad.
