Revolver Rani Review | Bollywood Critics Speak | CHECK OUT
- 10 years ago
Kangana Ranaut's much anticipated Revolver Rani has finally triggered its release on the 25th of April, 2014. Co-starring a phenomenal actor like Vir Das, while this Sai Kabir film was already soaring the buzz owing to its sensational sex tussle set against the back drop of mafia, here are some of the leading critic reviews that have now been evaluated for your valuable references to watch the film!
Times Of India says, Ratings: 3.5/5
It's a combo of cool and crass - the kind of stuff pulp fiction is made of. Often textured in Quentin Tarantino style, he sets the mood with a notorious mix of quirkiness, violence and an eclectic background score. The second half is stretched, the songs interrupting the pace. Some dark, humorous moments (even the background score) are quite inspired by 'Kill Bill'. 'Revolver Rani' is loaded with a lot more than just gunpower. You'll enjoy biting this bullet.
Bollywood Hungama says, Ratings: 2.5/5
REVOLVER RANI comes across as a distant cousin of BULLETT RAJA and GANGS OF WASSEYPUR. Director Sai Kabir attempts to amalgamate a love story with hi-octane drama, political maneuvers and rustic action and also coats it with the local flavor to make it seem authentic and bona fide, but something's amiss. After a fairly engrossing first hour, the post-interval portions slide downwards. On the whole, REVOLVER RANI has engaging moments, but they are few and far between. This being Kangna's immediate film release after the remarkable success of QUEEN may benefit the film to an extent.
Moviezadda says, Ratings: 3/5
The movie has plenty of wacky stuff indulged in it along with a different type of performance by Kangana Ranaut. The movie's plot line is interesting and has some good dark humor attached to it. However, the movie is ruined by bad execution, weak screenplay and unwanted sidetracks. Besides Kanagana's character, all the other characters are half-baked and lacked the intensity. 'Revolver Rani' should have been more dark and realistic as its name sounded, sadly it turns out to be just a colourful water pistol, which only looks appealing and works for a short period lacking the hard hitting factor.
Indian Express says, Ratings: 1.5/5
This Rani, who hefts revolvers and shoots to kill, is neither wholly a cartoon figure, nor completely credible. This confusion makes us stop suspending disbelief, and 'Revolver Rani' becomes a tiresome Bollywoodesque trudge through the Chambal, and its men and one woman posturing with guns, and the standard corrupt 'netas' and complicit cops. This Chambal ki Rani is not for Kangana Ranaut. Rajouri wins hands down.

Revolver Rani is perfect on paper but if it really wanted to generate that spark, it should have probably taken the character-centric route. Somewhere along the way, the story disappears and so does the editor, or so it seems.A lot of Revolver Rani seems to have come from 'inspiration' that was obviously drawn from Quentin Tarantino films.Even the animated bits seem to be borrowed from Kill Bill Vol 1. This does end up spoiling the novelty factor. Revolver Rani could have been the film of the year. It is sad that all is chose to be was confused in the end.
