So on the way out of The Warrior Queen on Jhansi (http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=5157) we were discussing this year’s Bollywood take on Rani and an Indian couple said it was on Amazon Prime. Watching it now. It was actually in my queue - I just didn’t read the title far enough to make the Jhansi connection and realize it was the same tale. It kicks ass on the screener we saw. Kangana Ranaut is in the titlular role, Rani Laximi. Kagana is wicked with double Talwar and this version has much more swordplay. Better setting, bigger costumes, and of course, song and dance numbers. So far, it’s a fascinating comparison. The Brits are completely reprehensible. Kangana reminds me faintly of Salma Hayek in this role with her intensity. Far superior film.
