Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
adityakumarprasad Revolver Rani is a loose remake of Kill Bill. Now lower your hopes by 80% and continue reading. The last movie in which we saw Kangana is lot to blame, I have written this in my review of Queen as well that the expectations have always been way to low from a Kangana movie until Queen arrived! And you can imagine what the audience expected. Not what we saw in Revolver Rani. Not at all. From the very first scene the movie appeared weak. To make you understand better I would like to compare most part of the movie with school play where it appears clearly that kids are trying their best to act and in turn overacting. Kangana did not fit the role. The aggressiveness and ferociousness required for the character never came up to a satisfactory point from Revolver Rani. Few of the actors were from Gangs of Wasseypur. Like Piyush Mishra and Zeishan Quadri. Both gave average performances as there was hardly a strong script for them to outperform. Vir Das was the lead actor (yes, you read it right) and he was totally disappointing. Guess he should stick to live comedy shows only. He was completely out of place. In fact the TV news anchor who kept appearing every now and then had a better role than the main leads. Her dialogue delivery made an awesome impact. Audience burst into laughter, every single time. Guess she outperformed even when she was no where in the running! :) Music was average, the title song had some pep but nothing much in the entire album. Over all it was not worth the watch, as usual I suggest you watch it on TV in the passing. I rate Revolver Rani 2 stars as Kangana is definitely a good star and she did not disappoint me, just that she did not fit the role that well.
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.:)
Saurabh G 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.
lopamudrax 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
