The greatest movie ever made..!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is my first review here and am compelled to write one because of a lot of shitty ones floating around. This movie is by far kangana's best work till date. Rarely dies one see such boldness and aggression in a bollywood actor, so much so that no past references come to mind. Kangana has completely broken the mould and come out with something innately local. The film itself has moved past many stereotypes like a woman playing the savior to her lover with such machismo. Piyush mishra, as the machiavellian balli mama is great too.But the film truly belongs to Kangana. This girl, is leaps and bounds ahead of any other Indian actress in recent times

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.

I've to admit one thing..after watching the excellent 'Queen' last month, I've become a fan of Kangana Ranaut. She is a terrific actress but is highly under rated.But after watching Revolver Rani, I came out of the theatre wondering what type of movie I saw and felt bad for Kangana.'Revolver Rani' is an excellent plot. In the Chambal backdrop, Kangana plays Alka Singh who is an outlaw turned politician. A don, she is not scared taking on the Tomar brothers, her rivals head on. Supporting her is her cunning Balli Uncle (Piyush Mishra), who is the smart background player. And to spice up her life, there is her BF, Rohan (Vir Das) who is using her to fund his movies. So on one had she is a killer but in her home, she is a sex starved woman with a bizarre dressing sense.We see an Alka who is not scared of using her gun and killing people. In an fantastic scene, we have Rohan who is held hostage by the Tomar bros and is being tortured when Alka comes with her men and bravely saves Rohan from them killing many of Tomar's men in return. In Hindi movies, we see this scenes every time the hero saves the heroine. But here, it was fun to watch a vice versa.However, the writers just can't spice up the movie when required. Hence, the film slows down many times in both the halves and you're just wondering why the movie is not progressing.The movie takes the bizarre turn when Alka comes to know she is pregnant when everyone said she can't be a mother. Its here the movie loses steam. Rohan's marriage to Alka and his immediate 2nd marriage is initially funny but that becomes bizarre because its over stretched.And the end, is more inspired from the Gangs of Wasseypur and Kill Bill movies when many men try to kill Alka and she beautifully fights back. There is a scope for a sequel but I really doubt that will happen.Kangana is the star of the movie. But in the 2nd half, she can't pull through thanks to her poor characterization. From a gun totting women to someone who wants to have a baby and settle down looks strange for the viewers.On the other hand, Vir Das is excellent as her cunning BF and the father of her child. He initially stays in her shadows but in the end, he shows his true colors.Piyush Mishra is fantastic as Balli Mama. As a scheming background player, he does everything for his niece, Alka. But as the film progresses, he is ready to betray her for power and money.Zakir Hussain is brilliant as Udaybhan Tomar. He gets into the character and plays the smart cum idiot politician to the T.Special mention to Kumud Mishra and Pankaj Saraswat who play the goofy younger Tomar brothers and a Hindi TV news anchor Mishkka Singh played by Payal Parihar. These three light up the screen and bring smile to our faces thanks to their excellent comic timing.Also, the problem lies with the director Kabir Sai who tries to be a Quintin Taratino and an Anurag Kashyap and hence many a times I could see the influence of these filmmakers in the movie. My only advice to Kabir is be himself because he has the talent to make fabulous entertainers.The music is good but the songs slow down the film. Overall, a better screenplay, clear characterization and crisp editing would have easily made this film into a cult classic.

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
