After Manikarnika Its Hollywood to bring Jhansi Ki Rani - Page 2

This one better live up to the name and story. Rani Laxmibai deserves a good tribute. We’ve been told only a bit about her. It would be amazing to know more.

Hollywood is ruling BO these days even in India. Watever be the case, this would be more realistic and factually accurate portrayal than the vulgar Dhankila crap - which by the way tanked at Box office.

Rani Lakshmi Bai is an Indian Icon and people are aware of her, they are not so much aware about hollywood blockbusters like Avengers, Avatars because they r created by Americans. their technology and visual effects get people excited to the theaters but not for Jhansi ki Rani.

And yes, I always try to keep a distance for you because u serve no purpose except for hating kangana, which I don't...even if i hate a certain actor that doesn't mean i go on to pollute each and every topic venting against the same person again and again.

and btw..u and all forum members can SCREAM OUT LEAD LOUD LOUDER from any roof you want to cry out that MANIKARNIKA is a flop but the fact is it is not..even BOI said the film did decent business in the end..several articles online are there about the film's success that puts it into 'average' or 'semi-hit' category now you can go on and on..i am certainly not interesting in jumping and swimming into ur hatred pool..

The only one screaming, crying and abusing since it flopped is Kangana. Her behavior is proof of how big flop it became. She is the most frustrated of all.😆 And why do you expect others not to attack your favorite when she keeps attacking everyone all the time like someone from the fish market? Before telling what others shud do, maybe you shud ask your favorite to behave like a Civilized Human first. Her standing in the society is only bcoz she is a woman else she wud be rotting in some prison if she was a guy. She shud know that and back off from her victims for a start. She is the one who keeps polluting everywhere with her Toxic n Evil behavior.

The Biggest hit in India of a Freedom fighter was Gandhi and it was made by a Hollywood producer only. And that was decades back. India has grown to like more films from the West than Bollywood since then.

my dear I'm fully aware that the forum dislikes Kangana and many hate her..but i don't go around defending her everywhere go check my posts for proof neither i speak against hrithik for that matter...theek hai nahi pasand to nahi pasand..but that does not mean i should quote everyone and vent my frustration out..I GET IT ur hrithik fan and ur hurt by kangana's actions but then again..what ur getting out of it? ur harsh words show ur state of mind. you can also go around and put ur dislike or hatred in a civil manner esp when most of the forum members dislike her...so what's your point i don't really understand !
