I like Kangana as an actor in films like Tanu Weds Manu and Queen, but this Manikarnika left me so disappointed ??♀️ I hated the ending where she said, “ har har mahadev “ .

I love the fact that a women centric film is made on such large scale & strong concept but that's it..Everything else abt #ManikarnikaTeaser is just BAD..That opening scene of Manikarnika tearing d British flag looks too bland instead of being d impactful opening they intended?

#Manikarnika Teaser | Powerful, fierce & absolutely incredible! I had goosebumps. Bollywood needs more such films where female actors take the lead, like a boss! Kudos, #KanganaRanaut ?? Can’t wait to watch my favourite historical character on screen! https://t.co/FhGDUkQHwu

Directed by Radha Krishna Jagarlamud, Manikarnika also features Jishu Sengupta, Suresh Oberoi, Danny Denzongappa, Atul Kulkarni, Ankita Lokhande, Misti, Unnati Davera, Zeeshan Ayub, Rajeev Kacharo, Nihar Pandya, Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Manish Wadhwa among others.
Manikarnika will have a big box office clash with Hrithik Roshan's Super 30. Both the movies are based on real-life people. While Manikarnika is based on the historic warrior, Super 30 is a biopic on mathematician Anand Kumar.
This box office clash is going to be even bigger due to the huge controversy between Kangana and Hrithik in the past.
