Sai Kabir has come up with a unique masala entertainer with ‘Revolver Rani’. Its a story based on a quirky twist of fate, Chambal’s outlandish outlaw falls in love with a wannabe actor.
‘Revolver Rani’ has Alka Singh (Kangana Ranaut), an unwanted girl child growing up to be a terror in Chambal. All thanks to her deftness in using guns. She gets ousted from her political position of power by the Tomar family that is headed by Udayban (Zakir Hussain) and his two brothers. Alka, with the help of her vily mama, Balli (Piyush Mishra), is trying to win back power. But in between falls in love with Rohan (Vir Das) who is a struggler in Bollywood. Rohan wants to use her as a ladder to climb up in Bollywood but he ends up being her Toy Boy. The opposition – the Tomar party want to destroy Alka completely and when they realise about her love interest they plan to deal with it emotionally.
Sai Kabir’s screenplay is mostly its weakest point. But Kabir balances the action and love elements in the flick. The characterization of the characters in the land of Dacoits is humourous. With ‘desi’ politics and use of broken English dialects, the flick features the utmost real attitude of goons and politicians in the urban areas. Particularly the dialogues, written by Kabir himself, are surely to go down well with masses.
The film starts with much promise. The narration and the background music work in absolute tandem to bring us a satire. But unfortunately, some scenes are too long drawn out. The second half is stretched, the songs interrupting the pace.
Kangna is a pure dynamite. With a tanned tone, kohl eyes and mercurial moods – she uses every weapon to fire a mind-blowing performance. The capable actress portrays this offbeat role of a violent, passionate but vulnerable dacoit with commendable ease. Vir strikes at times but is overshadowed by Kangs. Piyush (as Alka’s mama) is superb and Zakir adds power to the plot. A special mention has to be made of a TV anchor in the film, who got the best lines in the script.
All In All a Kangana Ranaut movie. The Queen is back once again.
