Variety

Nov 16, 2019

Too tepidly sincere to consistently excite or amuse. What keeps it at least moderately interesting on a scene-to-scene basis is the novelty value of seeing a strong and self-confident woman, credibly portrayed by Devika Bhise.

Austin Chronicle

What's disappointing, especially considering Swati's background in dance, is how static the film feels, and how lumpen the story becomes.

Washington Post

Nov 11, 2019

The story of an insurgent Indian woman certainly seems timely in 2019. Too bad the new account of her uprising, The Warrior Queen of Jhansi, is as stodgy as a movie from 1958, if not earlier.

By Mark Jenkins FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

Nov 14, 2019

As dramatized, “The Warrior Queen” takes all the biopic shortcuts (narration, sped-up timeline, ham-fisted exposition) only to get to a depiction of the drumbeat to conflict that traffics in platitudes and clichés.

The New York Times

Nov 14, 2019

An unfortunately clunky, relentlessly corny salute to Rani Laxmibai.

By Jeannette Catsoulis FULL REVIEW

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

Nov 14, 2019

Awkwardly constructed with laughable romantic suggestions, sword-based gore and a whimsical approach to chronological accuracy, the story involves the Indian uprising against the British East India Company.

By Brad Wheeler FULL REVIEW

San Francisco Chronicle

Nov 13, 2019

The fact is that too much time is spent with the British characters in the film, time that could have been spent really getting into Rani’s story. She was fighting for the independence of India, but the filmmakers lost their own colonial battle.
