It\u2019s impossible not to adore her sweet, naive girl avatar Rani whose fiance dumps her in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or sympathise with the troubled Sana in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Woh Lamhe<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the melancholic Shonali, a model with a coke habit in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fashion<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Ranaut has never had to \u201cde-glam\u201d to be taken seriously; she has a knack for bringing you in with a raw vulnerability.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which is why, on seeing the posters for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/manikarnika-film-review-kangana-ranaut\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manikarnika<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Queen of Jhansi<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, plastered with her screaming face, you were either excited, slightly nervous, or a mixture of the two. Few Bollywood actresses give us the kind of unselfconscious passion and emotion that we expect from Kangana. But even fewer are overshadowed by a personality that refuses to be ignored. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even before the release of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manikarnika<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the film was plagued by controversy. The Karni Sena threatened to riot at theatres if Rani Laxmibai was not portrayed to their liking. Rumours have piled up that Kangana is difficult to work with and caused actor Sonu Sood to quit, and that she all but kicked Krish Jagarlamudi<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from the director\u2019s chair to take over. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/kangana-ranaut-rangoon-koffee-with-karan-karan-johar-saif-ali-khan-bollywood-vishal-bhardwaj-hindi-cinema\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kangana<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, naturally, has not taken the criticisms lying down. She told the Karni Sena that she, also a Rajput, will destroy them, and has said that Sood could not work with a woman director \u2014 a claim he denies. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that the dust has cleared and the film is in theatres, Kangana has been widely lauded as the best part about it. In FilmCompanion, Anupama Chopra <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filmcompanion.in\/manikarnika-the-queen-of-jhansi-movie-review-kangana-ranaut-anupama-chopra\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">points<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> out that although Kangana has succeeded as an actress, believably committing to the ferocious Rani Laxmibai, she has not managed to show restraint as a director, and that is apparent in every aspect of the film. The story makes meta-references to Kangana\u2019s life, like when Rani Laxmibai informs the (evil, obviously) Britishers that although she can speak English, her mother tongue is best. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s hard to deny that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manikarnika<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is full of pointed allusions to the actress\u2019s own struggle in the industry. She certainly wouldn\u2019t be the first self-indulgent director to feature in her own work \u2014 Judd Apatow has created an entire genre around stoner nerds, and Christopher Nolan\u2019s psychological quirks are an integral part of his oeuvre. Closer home, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/thugs-of-hindostan-review-aamir-khan-amitabh-bachchan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aamir Khan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is well-known for being irritatingly involved and detail-oriented \u2014 accusations that have been levelled against Kangana \u2014 and for producing films that are an extension of his <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Satyamev Jayate <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">avatar. <\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Is it the respect you\u2019ve got to have for a woman who faced insurmountable barriers of class, region, and circumstance, and who is a top-class actor to boot? Or is it just the indefatigable vortex of personality it takes to be all of the above?<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the bald metaphor of Kangana as a lone warrior queen, slaying the bad guys left and right, might have been expected, especially from someone who frequently marries her personal and professional lives. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, despite her A-list status after <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2014), Kangana has never worked with Karan Johar, or his favourite leads \u2014 probably because she never deigns to play the Bollywood game. On her one and only appearance on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Koffee With Karan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it was she who first called Karan Johar the \u201cflag-bearer of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/nepotism-ranbir-rishi-kapoor-karan-johar-saif-starkids\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nepotism<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d, throwing into the spotlight a buzzword that continues to be relevant. It caused a long-running controversy only slightly less intense than the Hardik Pandya affair. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And after working with Hrithik Roshan on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/hrithik-roshan-krrish-4-superhero\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Krishh 3<\/span><\/i><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(2013) and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kites <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(2010), she had a very public beef with him over an alleged relationship gone sour, and when his <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Super 30<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was going to clash with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manikarnika<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Kangana raked it all up again during promotions. Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock, you\u2019ll remember how, in an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinkvilla.com\/entertainment\/exclusives\/348765\/exclusive-kangana-being-ousted-hrithik-exes-do-silly-things-get\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interview<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Pinkvilla, Kangana obliquely referenced an \u201cex\u201d, at which point Hrithik, confusingly, slapped her with a legal notice. In response, Kangana insisted she was in a long-term relationship with Hrithik, who denied any such claims and blamed an unidentified hacker for leading her on with fake emails. Sticking to the formbook of politicians caught up in scandals, Hrithik went on to tell his side of the story on Republic TV. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was calm, measured, and believable, but how could he compete with Kangana\u2019s unwavering conviction, or her undeniable characterisation of Hrithik as an elite Bollywood star kid whose papa has \u201cduniya bhar ke paisa\u201d? Even before the #MeToo movement entered the public consciousness, people rallied to Kangana\u2019s side, calling out industry insiders who supported <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/grub\/laddoo-cheesecake-hritik-roshan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hrithik<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and deploring what they saw as his shabby treatment of her. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kangana has frequently had to defend herself in public. When she received a co-writing credit for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/kangana-ranaut-simran-hansal-mehta-praful-patel-apurva-asrani-rangoon-sandeep-kaur-bombshell-bandit\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simran<\/span><\/i><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(2017), main writer Apurva Asrani was unhappy and called her out on social media \u2014 only for several other writers to accuse him of taking credit for their work on past projects. Director Hansal Mehta backed her up, and Kangana herself made no bones about being dissatisfied with Asrani\u2019s work, and taking the script into her own hands. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, her combative, no-filter style has not come with setbacks. Thanks to her inability, or unwillingness, to be diplomatic, Kangana has managed to alienate a large and influential chunk of Bollywood. It\u2019s the reason that, even after doing a massive costume drama like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manikarnika<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, she\u2019s not mentioned in the same breath as contemporaries (and Karan Johar\u2019s faves) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/ranveer-deepika-wedding-lake-como-virushka-nickyanka\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deepika<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Anushka, and Alia. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, on the other hand, is this the precise quality that keeps people rooting for Kangana? Because she\u2019s a real, relatable small-town superstar who voices the thoughts of millions like her? Is it the respect you\u2019ve got to have for a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/metoo-women-refuse-to-believe-other-women\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">woman<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who faced insurmountable barriers of class, region, and circumstance, and who is a top-class actor to boot? Or is it just the indefatigable vortex of personality it takes to be all of the above? With the success of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manikarnika<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it looks like Kangana, as usual, has proved one thing: she\u2019s ready to fight for her place in Bollywood \u2014 and to do it entirely on her own terms. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kangana Ranaut\u2019s combative, no-filter style has come with setbacks.
