I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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...

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.

Director Mr. Sai Kabir work is very good. He was not bothered about right or wrong about general perception of hit film but he was celerity of mind regarding this film. Very small characters are justified well. Story is new and different. Screenplay is very good. Dialogues support the film well. Credit goes to writer and Director Mr. Sai Kabir. Neither the promo nor the title of the film was indicating any emotional quotient but this film has that emotional touch and in a very good way. A shot justifies the title well where just keeping the gun behind her palm, makes her heart beating again. I just loved this scene and concept. This film deserves sequel and makers have clearly justified it. Even very fine things and emotions are taken care in good way through scene and shots. Humor is placed in very subtle but appropriate way. Goon uses his lower part of Kurta for blowing air is one of such example. Performance wise Kangana Ranaut is out standing. Vir Das is OK. Piyush Mishra is very good. Jakir Hussain is fine. Music is OK and it gives the required support in emotional scenes.

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
