silvan-desouza A women gangster has been seen before but Revolver Rani is sort of different as it shows women who shoots people however far fetched it may seem The film is set in Chambel,where all swear by the gun, the film starts well, Alka(Kangana)'s relationship with Vir Das is well handled, so are the twists and turns however things do get repetitive, afterall many films on politics have recently hit the screen lately, even the villains become carricatured and things get boring The end is too far fetched and though there's scope for sequel in the end but yet the end could be betterDirection is decent Music is okay Kangana Ranaut is superb in her role yet again after Queen however the role could be better Vir Das is superb in his role,Zakir Hussain is superb, Piyush Mishra is superb as usual, Kumud Mishra is great and others are good too

mohanish58 This is my first ever review on IMDb.After watching Revolver Rani ("RR"), I can be sure Sai Kabir (writer, director) had been looking for a producer like Tigmanshu Dhulia for a while. This is a work straight from the heart and feels like it too!The story of Revolver Rani, Alka Singh (Kangana Ranaut) takes place in India's dacoit heartland Chambal, where law has seldom held up. All characters have enough reason to be in the movie. Performances are up to the mark. The dialect spoken by the actors seems authentic. Starting with Kangana - she has played one of the most audacious female leads in Hindi cinema and has come away with flying colors. Vir Das plays the meatiest role of his Bollywood career in aspiring film star Rohan. His character adds most twists to the plot than anything else and thus is a very important one. Piyush Mishra has played many memorable roles by now and his role as Alka's mama in RR as well his contribution to the writing department will not go unnoticed. His character even writes speeches for politicians in the film, which is a tribute to his writing ability, as it was with Mishra's poetry scenes in Gulaal. The other baddies draw your resentment as required.The music does wonders for each scene - it heightens the drama, transforms wee Kangana into stupendous Alka, draws laughs from scenes with dark characters and many more. Usha Uthup's voice seems to be only female voice bold and deep enough to tell Revolver Rani's story, like it does in the opening credits. The opening credits animated scene (similar to that of Bullett Raja) is so cool, that my wallpaper is now stolen from it. In fact, I have found in Dhulia-produced Revolver Rani what I went looking for in Dhulia-directed Bullett Raja.This is the kind of story which deserves more than one film as its characters can actually do so much more than they did in RR. My suggestion is - make a sequel, no, a series... and print some Revolver Rani graphic novels too while you are at it! That is, if those bad guys let the much cussed-at Alka live in RR.

ahwaan_padhee In a typical nod to Bollywood-meets-Quentin Tarantino style of film- making , debutante director Sai Kabir explores the dark underbelly of power and politics in the alleys of Chambal with Revolver Rani.The most powerful factor in this enterprise is of course,Kangana Ranaut,essaying the titular character with ferocious intensity.As the eccentric,moody, and sexually ravenous bandit turned politician Alka Singh who has just lost elections to her wily rival,Uday bhan Singh(Zakir Hussain) she sets the stage on fire whenever she delivers a public speech with her local lingo or when she is on bed with her toy- boy Rohit(Vir Das)- an opportunistic chap who dreams to make it big in Bollywood using her money power.Shimmering with rustic appeal, Revolver Rani regales with its notoriously built characters- who are like scorpions trying to sting each other and their fragile alliances.Its all about guns and goons where Alka's softer instincts and her dreams to build a home in Behnice(read Venice) with Rohit rarely find a place.The plot derives the sly humor from some interesting elements,viz,the exploitation of Alka's beau in the fame of politics or the repeated banters of Uday's siblings who are always scheming to kill the uncrowned queen of the ravines. Kabir's direction is largely experimental ,signifactly endorsing to Anurag Kashyap and Tigmanshu Dhulia school of cinema.With an edgy narration, he tries to showcase the extreme dimensions of Alka's character- ranging from her impulsiveness to her craze for phasion(fashion)-fun and gun to her vulnerability.While some sequences are over-stretched with redundant dreamy songs , they are compensated with genuine comic moments.A hyperactive TV reporter's speech and a series of ostensibly orchestrated attempts that follow to cover up Alka's low-key nuptial ceremony with Rohit before the media do make up for a hearty laughter.Kangana reins in her Rani avatar with full gusto.Vir Das is getting typecast with every role as a coc-snorting disillusioned wannabe.Piyush Mishra is superbly authentic as the dubious Mama.Zakir Hussain impresses as the conniving politician of the rival party and he is perfectly aided by the testosterone-charged Kumud Mishra. Overall, its an apt star-cast which lends meaty performances.

lopamudrax 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
