Our take

Beautifully blending history and folklore to trace the unusual life of 18th century queen Ahilya Bai Holkar, this inspiring film is a befitting tribute to her socio-political acumen and philosophical mind. Mallika Prasad’s nuanced performance breathes life into this legendary historical figure.
