It is a big budget film by South film industry standards and is primarily a fictionalized version of the historical narrative of the British General Sir Hugh Rose who had commented that the Rani of Jhansi was "remarkable for her beauty, cleverness and perseverance" and was "the most dangerous of all the rebel leaders.” In this film, the Rani uses the charms and gullibility of the young Rachel Nunes played by the sexy Avantika Sharma against her own father –a colonel in the British army. Rachel Nunes falls in love with one of the soilders in the Rani’s army who is asked to kidnap and elope with the 20-year-old thus distracting and delaying her father who is hot in pursuit of the Rani’s unorganised army of women volunteers.

A spokesperson for Red Ruby Films said that this film is bound to create a big controversy as it shows the Rani as a scheming, devious woman who would stop at nothing to reach her goal which is defending Jhansi. “All is fair in love and war,” was apparently Rani Laxmi bai’s motto when she used some ‘women of the night’ in her army to seduce and distract the British soilders during the seige of Jhansi. 

In this film, the badly wounded Rani Laxmibai escapes from the battle of Gwalior thanks to some quick thinking by her handmaid (played by Anaya Das). A captian in the British army Captian Rheese has documented the Rani’s escape stating that “no corpse was found”. In this film, the badly-wounded Rani lives much longer in hiding mourning the brutal hanging of her father Moropant Tambey after the British captured Jhansi. Her handmaid or dasi plays the role of a nautch girl entertaining the fatigued British soldiers and successfully delays the British advance.

While Neelakshi Singh plays Rani Laxmibai, Avantika Sharma is the 20-year-old daughter of a British colonel. Anaya Das plays the dasi or handmaid of Jhansi ki Rani who helped her to escape from the British onslaught.
