The Warrior Queen of Jhansi (2019)
Directed by Swati Bhise this film stars Devika Bhise, Rupert Everett, Ben Lamb and Nathaniel Parker. The Rani of Jhansi rebels against the British East India Company.
Despite having a fascinating historical story at its heart this film is a disappointing anachronism with far too many sympathetic British characters. I would much rather have had this film be just from the perspective of the protagonist rather than include the awkward British appeasing sections. The subject matter deserved much better than this heavy handed treatment.
2/5
