Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika wins hearts globally, crosses 1 million mark at international Box Office
Amid all the controversies and hullabaloo, Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is roaring high and above at the box office. After it's stupendous growth at the Indian box office, the period film has won hearts globally as well by crossing the coveted 1 million mark in just three days. "#Manikarnika crosses $ 1 mn from international markets... Total till Sat [26 Jan 2019]: $ 1.071 mn [₹ 7.61 cr]...Thu $ 117k Fri $ 438k Sat $ 516k
North America [$ 398k] and UAE-GCC [$ 360k] have performed best. #Overseas", writes trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
On the national box-office front, Manikarnika is expected to register double figures on Sunday due to positive word of mouth response. The Rani Laxmibai biopic that saw the actor double up as a director has earned Rs 26.85 crore within two days of the release.
Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, also starring Atul Kulkarni, Jisshu Sengupta and Ankita Lokhande in important roles, among others, is co-directed by Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi aka Krish and Kangana. As the name suggests, the film is based on the life of Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi and the role that she played in India’s freedom from the British rule.
Upon its release on January 25, Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi received mostly positive reviews. Movie reviewers, however, pointed out that it was Kangana’s show all the way that gave no opportunity to supporting cast to build their characters.
