Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

BelSports 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.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

badeguruji absolutely awesome. i will wait for the sequel.Kangana has the potential to become an all time legend of Hindi movie screen.everything in film looks fresh, except 'mama' type role. some 'jhole' is there, but i guess it is OK. hero shooting in back is over-do/over-kill. they could have escaped and he could have been murdered in Italy in next installment.absolutely impeccable acting. hits bulls eye. i think this is better than Queen.by the way: all other heroins are crap in front of Kangana, the other girl, call Vidya gets biased support from her husband.Kangana has no Godfather in industry and has to fight for everything.I wish you all the best Kanagana, may God protect you.

bobbysing 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.

Akshay Kumar (akshay-ak-kumar) 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.

Swapnilagarwal Brash, offbeat, unconventional - this sums up the latest outing of the latest Queen of Bollywood, Kangana Ranaut. This bandit queen avatar of hers is no less interesting where she immaculately displays the anger, attitude, madness, vulnerability and insecurities of Alka Singh. Boss, Kangana has literally replaced Vidya Balan in the territory of varied women-oriented dhansu films (2 in a row this year itself)!As far as the movie is concerned, the storyline lacks depth but it is the realistic performances of all actors which infuses life in the movie. Director Sai Kabir has literally tread Tigmanshu Dhulia's lanes with this one. Another good part of the movies is the surprise element and twists and turns it keeps throwing till the last scene making it pacy and thrilling, esp in the second half.Madhya Pradesh, the bihads of Morena and Chambal and local politics literally come alive on screen. Enough comic value is added by melodramatic characters, their mannerisms and Hinglish takia kalams. Vir Das has for the first time got a chance to play a lead role (though the hero remains Kangana), but he doesn't disappoint. All other actors esp. Piyush Mishra as 'Mama' do full justice to their roles.Music is as unconventional as the movie (Nice to hear Asha Bhosle and Usha Uthup after long).Verdict: Not meant for all. Only those who are really interested in off- beat and non-mainstream (typical rom coms type) cinema, should venture in.My rating: *** ½P.S.: The symbolic comparison of our (Revolver) Rani with Rani Laxmibai in the climax should not be missed.:)
