Reviewed by: Dare Devil KidRating: 3.5/5 stars (0.5 stars solely for Kangana Ranaut's stupendous performance)Revolver Rani" is Kangana Ranaut all the way, from first frame till last. After her career-defining turnover in the highly acclaimed "Queen", she follows it up with an equally succulent performance in a film, which though not as brilliant as "Queen" is still decently entertaining fare. Without taking away anything from the Director - Sai Kabir does fashion a good film that captures the murky politics and rustic climes of Central India - it is Kangana's performance that elevates this crime- comedy, eventually making it punch much above its weight.Though Sai Kabir, writes and directs a well-planned script - paying lavish homage to Tarantino (clearly his idol), Kashyap (clearly another inspiration), and Dhulia (yet another inspiration but also his mentor and producer) - he keeps losing his grip over proceedings and at times the homages do appear to deviate from the narrative at hand. However, just when there appears to be a dip in the story arc, Ranaut comes along and holds things together with her theatrics, histrionics, nuanced emotions, brash dialogues, and delightfully mouthed expletives. Make no mistake, Kabir does weave an engaging political yarn with loads of dark humor, but unfortunately doesn't manage to maintain a lucid flow throughout. Perhaps, he'll get better with experience - this is after all his debut feature. The cinematography paints an earthy canvas of the rustic interiors of the country, the editing is moderately passable, the background score could have been way better, and the songs are nothing to write home about.Providing terrific support to Kangana are the reliable as ever Piyush Mishra (one of his best performances yet) and Zakir Hussain. Sadly, for the first time, Vir Das underperforms, and it could just be that he was terribly miscast in the roles of a scheming romantic hero. Zeishan Quadri is grossly underutilized in a poorly written role. "Revolver Rani" serves up a treat for fans of Kangana Ranaut, while also catering to patrons of crime movies and those who enjoy dark comedies. Bollywood finally has another top class actress besides Vidya Balan to bank on in today's times - one who can be relied upon delivering a strong performance consistently along with oozing star power in her roles.

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.

Kangana Raunat has garnered accolades over the years thanks to power- packed performances in FASHION, LIFE IN A METRO and the recent QUEEN. Revolver Rani definitely rest on the shoulder of Kangana Raunat as there is nothing much to talk about the movie.Revolver Rani is set against the backdrop of politics in Madhya Pradresh where there is no friends , no enemies only your heart to follow.First time director Sai Kabir chooses the subject quite daring but seen ample times on Indian Screen. True he choose a female protagonist as the leader of opposition party and few scenes do tickle your funny bone but maximum time screenplay is crumbled into web of errors and insensible scenes. Cinematography is quite efficient capturing the essence of Gwalior. Art direction is pretty good. Editing is poor. Dialogues are punching. Songs are tuneless. Coming to the performance, Kangana Raunat is one of the finest actors of Indian Cinema. The actor is dreadful yet subtle, fiery yet humorous, emotional yet unforgiving. It is her versatility which makes the movie watchable. Vir Das is just about okay. Piyush Mishra and Zakir Hussain are brilliant.Overall, Revolver Rani could have been better.It is the versatility of Kangana Raunat which makes the movie watchable. Average 2.5/5

am a big fan of Tarantino and have seen his masterpieces several times. At times continuously as if on a spool. So when someone pays homage to him and his style I do take notice and thus become more critical.RR's venae cava is full of QT's nuances right from the nonsensical repetition of the triangular dialogues between the sanki villain brothers.Started off in a slow pace and the time spent on the villains wasn't justified. But nevertheless the moment Alka appears she takes the screen and radiates on every inch of it. Everyone else pales in comparison specially VD. Wish there was some more meteoric element to the story to take it a bit more than the obvious and yes right till the end where Alka opens her eyes a la the bride in kill bill.if 2013 was the year of DP, then 2014 seems to be the year of KR. And I fervently hope so.The songs though nice comes in slightly as a requisite of a Bollywood film rather than as a fabric of the script. The character though etched for Alka, doesn't do justice to the other players on the stage. Is it because the director is fresh? We know a lot of care and passion goes behind making of a movie but sometimes it's good to see it from outside of the box and not just from the frame in the camera to see if one if is really paying the tribute in the rightful manner
