| One of the best-known Indian historicals, it is a pectacular account of Rani Laxmibais (Mehtab) life, the 19 th C. queen of Jhansi known as Manu to her friends and who led her armies into battle against British East India Comapy during the 1857 rising (known in Britian as the Mutiny). The film chronicles Lord Dalhousies annexation policies which had forced a treaty upon the aged and childless King Gangadhar Rao (Mubarak). The high priest (Modi), who controls the throne and who had opposed the signing of the theaty, searches for someone capable of leading a revolt and finds the defiant Manu. He persuades the king to marry her, making her the righful successor to the king instead of the scheming Sadashiv Rao (Ramsingh) who is on the side of the British. Much of the film, shot by Hollywood import Haller, consists of battle scenes, courtesy of the Ministry of Defence and horses, elephants and subjects of the maharajahs of Bikaner and Jaipur. |
