pressWhile I suppose you could do worse than The Warrior Queen of Jhansi, I know you could do better.
Los Angeles Times
pressAs dramatized, “The Warrior Queen” takes all the biopic shortcuts (narration, sped-up timeline, ham-fisted exposition) only to get to a depiction of the drumbeat to conflict that traffics in platitudes and clichés.
The New York Times
pressAn unfortunately clunky, relentlessly corny salute to Rani Laxmibai.
The Washington Post
pressThe story of an insurgent Indian woman certainly seems timely in 2019. Too bad the new account of her uprising, The Warrior Queen of Jhansi, is as stodgy as a movie from 1958, if not earlier.
Variety
pressToo tepidly sincere to consistently excite or amuse. What keeps it at least moderately interesting on a scene-to-scene basis is the novelty value of seeing a strong and self-confident woman, credibly portrayed by Devika Bhise.
