However, Manikarnika, which released in 3,000 screens across the country, is enjoying a decent run at the domestic market.

Talking about the movie, our in-house film critic Sreeju Sudhakaran wrote in his review, "Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi deserves to be praised for retelling an important chapter in history. Kangana Ranaut's performance will be a treat for her fans. Manikarnika would have attained greater heights, though, if there has been a tighter rein over the writing, the editing, the length and used the supporting cast in an effective way."
