Revolver Rani (2014)

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

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

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.

kangna plays a bold role in this movie and the supporting actors are also good. most of time is movie das have playing a good character is is just amazing act performed by him as the critics said this that theSometimes the characters die and film lives on. In some cases, the film dies, the character lives on. Sai Kabir's directorial debut Revolver Rani falls in the latter category. This Tigmanshu Dhulia's production venture is nothing, but the celebration of undying spirit of Revolver Rani played by Kangana Ranaut -- who is as aggressive as she is vulnerable. The film in the entirety fails, but not Revolver Rani, who's not only larger than life, but larger than the film itself. - See more at: you can also watch this movie on downloadkar.com which is most popular now days,

Indians love slapstick humor but seldom appreciate dark comedy humor though things are changing with a certain segment accepting films like "1:40 Ki last local", "Go Goa Gone", "Shor", "Ishqiya" series (& the few others made recently).Debutante director Saikabir's Revolver Rani is an unapologetic creatively outlandish, pulp-fiction meets political satire that provides doses of Tamasha. The dark setting, the straight face yet wacky humor in an otherwise intentional loud scenario, witty lines, eccentric music (a masterstroke by new music director Sanjeev Srivastava), crookedly weird verbose villains, unpredictable characters – it is a rightful tribute to the one & only QT. (There's also tribute to Robert Rodriquez – the initial credit & the metallic bra is homage to Machete. There's also a tribute to Scarface in the climax scene).When was the last time you saw a black comedy based on a shocking female protagonist (that also the leader of a political party) who is neurotic, psychotic, egoist, wicked & even a nymphomaniac. When was the last time you saw a Hindi film where the hero is the toy-boy of the female protagonist. Add on to it there are dozens of eccentric characters like the calculative sex-maniac mama, MJ (who resembles the iconic pop-star) & three weird political personalities. There's a news reporter who uses random Shayeri to describe the situations & she is bound to bring the house down with "Sim Sim pore pore" thing.Spoilers -The brutally twisted climax was handled deftly which was kind of cursor to Kill Bill. If a 2nd part is made I hope Rani takes brutal revenge like the Bride & please no more emotions, softness...Spoiler EndLike Go Goa Gone (of 2013) this was a fresh attempt in Hindi cinema But RR got diluted by the emotional element in the stretched second half. Though needed to inflict conflict, the director outdid the sentiment part while the dark, wacky humor got relegated to backstage. It seemed like the producer had forced the director to add sentimental elements to suit the sensibility of a wider audience.Kabir has a flair for Hollywood films & knows his art – the use of minimalist light, apt background music, frames depicting layers, one hope he remains consistent next time. Without lifting scenes he took cues from Kill Bill and suitably changed it for Indian sensibilities. He knows the violent region of Chambal and the brutal game of politics prevalent thus instilling realistic flavor to the eccentric proceedings.He got ample support from other departments. Debutant Sanjeev Srivastava rocks the show with his inspired background music which had retro beats strategically mixed with rock to portray the pulse of the characters. The use of 90s songs used effectively and the use of the siren sound from Kill Bill was a masterstroke. The songs were nice but it hampered the screenplay in the second half.Suhas Gujrati's camera deserves a special mention who lends voice to each of his frames.With revolver Rani, Kangana stamped that she is miles ahead of her contemporaries as Alka Singh aka Rani isn't an easy character to portray which she dared to do & how. Personally I loved her more in this film than Queen (She was superb there too) but when compared Queen had a softer tone which is generally liked by a larger segment. Another strong point - Supporting actors like Kumud Sharma, Zakir Hussein, Vir das, Zeeshan Qadri (definite from GOW).. And obviously, the ever talented & extremely choosy Piyush Mishra sir (as Mama). (By the way those who loves his voice, he also sung two songs in the film).Overall, those who are new to the genre can give it a try. It's like tasting alcohol for the first time, the initial gulp would be heavy & shocking but gradually one either gets use to it or rejects it completely. For the "avid" drinkers like me who enjoys Tarantino (& likes) the film has a rocking 1st half and a superb climax. The initial 45 minutes of the second half diluted the otherwise decent attempt.P.S: At societal level, let all the unwanted girl child of India turns a rebel like Rani & beat the sh*t out of men in this regressive patriarchal society...

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
