SYNOPSIS

THE WARRIOR QUEEN OF JHANSI tells the true story of the legendary Rani (translation: Queen) of Jhansi, a feminist icon in India and a fearless freedom fighter. In 1857 India, this 24-year old General led her people into battle against the British Empire earning the reputation as the Joan of Arc of the East. This real-life Wonder Woman’s insurrection shifted the balance of power in the region and set in motion the demise of the notorious British East India Company and the beginning of the British Raj under Queen Victoria.

THE WARRIOR QUEEN OF JHANSI is directed, produced and co-written by Swati Bhise. The script is by Swati Bhise, Devika Bhise and Olivia Emden. The film stars Devika Bhise, Rupert Everett, Nathaniel Parker, Ben Lamb with Jodhi May and Derek Jacobi

In all honesty, the main reason I did this review (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1522) was because I love the story. Rani Lakshimbai is one of the great women warriors of history. But if you read my review, I mentioned Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, which is more geared towards Indian tastes in film.

As per 2018 study by #womenintvfilm, 65% of all female characters were white in the top 100 films of 2018. 21% Black, 10% Asian, 4% Latina & 1% another ethnicity - Director Swati Bhise's film #TheWarriorQueenofJhansi is in that 1% with an Indian descent action female lead - Devika Bhise

Thank you to those who understood the vision and supported this small mother-daughter project made with love. This film is a tribute to the spirit of the Rani and to bring this historic legend's story to the global audiences.
