Revolver Rani (2014)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Blistering performances.

Directed by the renowned theater veteran Feroz Abbas Khan as his second film post GANDHI, MY FATHER (2007), this is indeed a courageous attempt by the makers, since there When they released its first teaser, everybody got excited riding on the QUEEN wave assuming that here comes another gem from the talented yet under-rated actress Kangna Ranaut. But the impact reduced a lot just after a few days, with the film's complete theatrical trailer coming in having numerous shot being blindly fired by every character on the screen just like some uncontrollable kids. So the doubts were clearly there watching the 2-3 minute glimpses and they all came true as I watched REVLOVER RANI this Friday with a mixed kind of excitement.Directed by Sai Kabir with an inspired vision reminding you of explosive films by Tigmashu Dhulia, Anurag Kashyap and to some extent RGV too, the film no doubt walks on some ground breaking lines initially. But only after the first 30 minutes, it simply becomes anybody's guess that this is yet another example of those bad films with excellent promotional stuff fooling the audience. Strangely progressing with many weird insertions REVOLVER RANI even becomes intolerable post intermission and that is the reason I witnessed a few youngsters moving out of the theater too shouting out loudly cursing the makers.In short, nothing really works in this film having an extremely potent plot with a huge potential. The direction portrays it all in a silly kind of lazy mode with an equally less energetic background score having quite weak arrangements and the performances too fail to pick it up ever in the entire duration. Here I would not like to blame the writer completely as he does come up with few interesting sequences at regular intervals. But it's the execution of the twists which fails to impress the viewer throughout, turning them to something bizarre too at times. Cinematography & productions values constantly give you the feeling of watching something above the routine. But the poor to mediocre songs act as a few more nails in the ready coffin visibly. The director tries his best to convert everything beautiful into ugly following an intentional mode and such is his confidence in this unusual product that he even goes on to add another ugly scene in the end pointing towards a sequel too.Honestly REVOLVER RANI remains a perfect example of the truth that actually a film is all there in the mind of a director only and the actors are just performing their individual scenes as given to them on the sets. Because here you can clearly see every single actor in the film performing as if he is acting in a cult movie, to the best of his or her ability, without having any idea of what it's going to be as a final product in front of the real audience sitting in the theater. Kangna tries to behave as cruelly (or kinky) as possible with her given lines and Vir Das works hard to provide the lighter moments required through his great comic timing. Plus we also have Piyush Mishra, Zakir Hussain, Kumud Mishra, Pankaj Saraswat & Zeishan Quadri too giving their sincere performances offering some timely pleasure.Yet there is no QUEEN here in REVOLVER RANI and the film is a big mess despite having such talented names in the cast.

Kangana Ranaut has always been bold enough to take on roles that any normal actress may easily turn down. Considering Kangana's recent choice of films, I was expecting a lot from Revolver Rani. Her acting is uninhibited, and she portrays the character of Alka Singh well. Despite Kangana , Vir Das, and Piyush Mishra who all showcase great talent, one can't help but wait for all the unnecessary firing of rounds of ammunition to stop. But essentially that's what this film is about. The story, screenplay, and direction by Sai Kabir (who makes his directorial debut) falls a little flat at times. The shooting of bullets is just plain overkill. The film seemed to be a little scattered at times, and lacked a central focus. Almost like 3 directors directed it, each with his own protagonist. Where the screenplay fell short, the film made up for in terms of good acting, good general plot, and dialogue. Special mention is necessary for the way Kangana delivered Rani's dialogues, her attire, her sunglasses and clothes from "Italy", and her general naivety towards the dangers that lurk on home territory.Battling for power in Morena, Alka Singh with her deliberately dark skin, metallic bras, and entourage of political goons is unabashedly direct. She displays her sexual desire for Vir Das (her Bollywood boy- toy) without any hesitation. She shoots her guns when she is happy, angry, to get attention, and sometimes just for the hell of it. She is not afraid to beat up anyone, and almost reminds one of Gabbar Singh. She masterfully played the role of an almost illiterate girl from a backward area to the T, accent and all. The dirty game of politics unfolds quite tactfully as Alka Singh's selfish uncle (Piyush Mishra) asks her to abort the baby she is carrying. He goes to great lengths to ensure she doesn't go through with the pregnancy. Her giving birth would mean the end of a legacy that he built using Alka for 25 years. The story is interesting, if it weren't for those darn bullets they kept firing. The twist in the story comes after she decides to go on with her baby despite the pleas and threats from her Uncle.Some subtle sarcastic humor comes from the three brothers who are in the opposing party. This story has potential and could have been executed in better manner.The ending was interesting and looks like there will be a sequel. I hope the director will consider all these things the second time around.Overall, it's not a bad watch. One time only though.

'Revolver Rani' is a proper Bollywood satire, consisting of intelligent writing, dark humour and terrific parodies. And I never expected Hindi Cinema to properly pull off such a thing. Other than the smart screenplay, it's Kangana Ranaut's terrific acting prowess which makes the satire effective. The films takes a lot of hilarious jabs at mob rivalries, politics, religious and cultural issues, Bollywood industry, and most of all, our very human nature.Kangana plays the role of the lead protagonist Alka Singh, who is a gun-blazing mob-head and political leader. Brought up without parents, and only by her uncle, she's a cold-hearted leader seduced by an aspiring actor only for his gain. It's the political rivalry between the two mobs which forms the basic premise of the story. The supporting performances are quite commendable, especially that of Piyush Mishra, who plays Alka's uncle.And people who are calling it a remake of Kill Bill are out of their minds. Other than one or two inspired moments from the Taratino Violence saga, the movie is completely original.The movie can only be enjoyed by people who can understand political satires and like black comedies.

Brash, offbeat, unconventional - this sums up the latest outing of the latest Queen of Bollywood, Kangana Ranaut. This bandit queen avatar of hers is no less interesting where she immaculately displays the anger, attitude, madness, vulnerability and insecurities of Alka Singh. Boss, Kangana has literally replaced Vidya Balan in the territory of varied women-oriented dhansu films (2 in a row this year itself)!As far as the movie is concerned, the storyline lacks depth but it is the realistic performances of all actors which infuses life in the movie. Director Sai Kabir has literally tread Tigmanshu Dhulia's lanes with this one. Another good part of the movies is the surprise element and twists and turns it keeps throwing till the last scene making it pacy and thrilling, esp in the second half.Madhya Pradesh, the bihads of Morena and Chambal and local politics literally come alive on screen. Enough comic value is added by melodramatic characters, their mannerisms and Hinglish takia kalams. Vir Das has for the first time got a chance to play a lead role (though the hero remains Kangana), but he doesn't disappoint. All other actors esp. Piyush Mishra as 'Mama' do full justice to their roles.Music is as unconventional as the movie (Nice to hear Asha Bhosle and Usha Uthup after long).Verdict: Not meant for all. Only those who are really interested in off- beat and non-mainstream (typical rom coms type) cinema, should venture in.My rating: *** ½P.S.: The symbolic comparison of our (Revolver) Rani with Rani Laxmibai in the climax should not be missed.:)
