the audience applauded

So much average

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

the film revolver Rani written and directed by the same person Sai kabir is one of the worst film in the history of films,apart from script and story the acting is also below level, kangana's acting in other films is quiet good but in this film she has definitely let down her fans a big time, i am wondering how she accepted this silly role and this type of performance which was asked to perform by his director, frankly i literally abused myself after watching this rubbish make and those of you who want to watch it please don't even try to think, and if u really want to waste your time and money than what can i say

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.

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.

The backdrop of Chambal, the famous (or notorious) wastelands of India has been the origin of several romantic stories. Of rebels and outlaws. An Indian version of wild wild west if I may say so. This installment comes with a bit of freshness. The leading lady runs an empire for herself. Kangana plays Alka aka. Revolver Rani, who rules her herd at gunpoint with seemingly insane lack of fear or concern for any consequences and with an irresistible urge to defy everyone to prove her mettle. Comic yet scary at times. Until she discovers that she has been made pregnant by her otherwise parasitic boyfriend (played by Vir Das). All her attention turns to the unborn child and the movie starts taking surprising and not so surprising turns. In a tale of power, seduction, love, conspiracy and treachery, the uncrowned queen of the wastelands finally finds herself riddled with burns and bullets; but she defies death only to wake up at an unknown location as the movie ends. Well a tale of revenge must follow and we will wait for that! We did for Kill Bill. Didn't we?The strength of the movie is Kangana. The National Award winning actress has delivered a solid performance throughout and proved with ease how she can handle such a character which demanded acting skills and physical fitness alike. The energy she pumps in doing every bit of the movie is simply amazing. Piyush Mishra, a fine actor himself gives a powerful performance as the uncle Balli who mentors Alka and yet finally holds his own scheme of things higher than anything else.The dialogs and lyrics are good, script and story telling is not remarkable but able to etch certain characters pretty well. Music is neither a weakness nor a strength. The editor has done a good job and overall the direction by Sai Kabir is commendable. Certainly an enjoyable watch and even in the end leaves you wondering what happens next. 7/10.
