Films Reviews

Talking about the clash, Thackeray is more targeted at the Marathi audience. Bal Thackeray was a big leader for Maharashtra and there is a lot of curiosity about his life. On the other hand, Manikarnika is an ambitious film for Kangana. Her last films haven’t done very well and she needs to bounce back. There is a lot riding on the film.”

On the other hand, angana Ranaut’s on-screen charisma comes to the rescue for her director debuted film. She is impressive in each and every scene, never missing a beat. Manikarnika would certainly qualify among those rare screen gems with a female hero that is an out and out action film, and Ranaut, pulls off this feat with flair.
