So how long will Kangana make it like Manikarnika was a blockbuster.

Baaki I don't care, whatever accusations she makes, most of them are true only.

But her claims that people called Manikarnika flop was orchestrated by the so called Movie Mafia who is after her.


As far as I know, BOI, the biggest Kjo banana suckers, stopped posting about Manikarnika when it failed to reach 100 crores, about which BOI were gloating for a while, basically doing her a big favour. BOI even reduced its budget from 125 crores to 99 crores.


Other sites were also being a bit too kind towards it, when infact it couldn't get even 100 crores in Hindi.


But than I hear, her interviews where she claims her hit movie was called flop by movie mafia and its chamanchas. Kab tak Kangu yeh jhoot ko khichegi. Like every video of her I see, 30 seconds Sushant ke baare mai bolegi, aur baaki ke 1 min 30 secs, apna hi rona roti hain yeh.


And yes I agree, it was an average grosser but it was in no way a hit movie, let alone a blockbuster.

By Kangu's standards, it was a big hit.


Most of her movies get only 30 crores lifetime.

I can feel her frustration. KattiBatti, Revolver Rani, I love NY, Simran, Ungly, Rangoon, Judgemental Kya Hai, Panga were flops and disasters.In between Manikarnika grossed 100 crores. Though budget was way over 100 crores due to historical setting and reshooting of parts of the movie, she got some relief due to magic number 100 crores. Else, her filpmpgraphy has been disaster during last 5 years. In such context, she is going to feel frustrate if Manikarnika isn't considers BB.

The mafias also declare their flops as hits. Why does it bother people when Kangna does the same?

Also, Just like how the mafias inflate numbers for Khan movies, they must have played their hands in deflating the numbers for Mani which is why it couldn't officially reach those numbers who knows, right? Like they played with sushant's Dhoni and chichore? These aren't mere conspiracy theories. Especially after seeing and hearing so much about what Sushant went through in his career, one can't dismiss it by calling it her psychotic rants..Her way of expressing maybe aggressive but there is truth to it. Mafia plays it dirty all the time with successful outsiders which noone can deny.

Also, Kangna is the only actress who has achieved those numbers on her own without any help from any Khan or male A listers or powerful PHs. She is defenitly the real queen among the current lot regardless of mani reaching 100cr or a little less. A few Cr here or there doesn't make Kangna any less of a superstarni. If she says Mani is a blockbuster, then it is, atleast for her. Its no mean feat, coming from a small town and achieving those numbers indeed feels like blockbusterlike.

See, for people living in jhopadpatti, a one bedroom flat with bathroom seem lavish but if you are standing on top of Antilla , entire mumbai feels like Dharavi. It's all about perspective , iykwim..

If she earned even 2 rs from it after taking such huge risk, it's blockbuster for her. N she has every right to Bragg about it. 2 rs might not be a big deal for Richie Rich like you par it might mean something to some people?


you mean Zee Studios and Eros International are not powerful studios?

@Bold1:When did that happen? The numbers are out there for everyone to see and both the movies have been declared super hits/blockbusters....


@Bold2:Kangana had a powerful PH backing her of course- Zee ! At least let us not misrepresent the facts....


@Bold3: Sure..Except that she cannot go on a platform dedicated for another actor, that too deceased and then go on and on about I , Me, Myself.....

Chappak does 22 crore, A movie led by a big female superstar..


Kalank does 75 cr


Lets wait for a minute and appreciate that a movie with no bankable male lead and only Kangana as the face grossed almost 100 crore.


If Alia did the same movie and performance, The Pr would have made it sound like ,the next Merryl streep has arrived and its the best thing since sliced bread..


I completely understand why she felt let down.

Considering everything Kangana has done and said, claiming Mani to be a Blockbuster is the mildest of her antics😆

Dude the.movie was about the most loved female freedom fighter of the nation. So let's not act like Kangana took a niche movie to the stars.


Nobody praised Alia or Deepika for the Kalank and Chappaak box office, everyone bashed them.


and Alia did Raazi, without any big actor, and it made more than Manikarnika despite releasing in non national holiday period and in lesser numbers of screens.

But obviously for Raazi patriotism and big PH excuses will come up, but when it comes to Manikarnika, "lets forget about Zee being a big PH, lets forget about Republic Day holiday, lets forget about patriotic theme".
