''''' Rani ''''' ({{trans|''Queen''}}) is a 1952 Tamil-language film directed by [[L. V. Prasad]]. The film stars [[P. Bhanumathi]], [[S. Balachander]], Wahab Kashmiri, S. V. Subbaiah, M. K. Mustafa, [[M. Saroja]], G. M. Basheer, M. S. S. Bhagyam, Lakshmiprabha, C. S. D. Singh, M. R. Santhanam, K. S. Angamuthu and [[Sachu|Baby Sachu]].

== Plot ==
A little princess, Ranjani ([[Sachu|Baby Saraswathi]]) is tattooed with the royal insignia as part of tradition, and the same night, the child is kidnapped by one of the members of the tattoo gang (Wahab Kashmiri) who brings her up as a gypsy girl renaming her Rani. Unaware of her royal lineage, she grows up hawking things on the street and getting into brawls with no punches pulled. She falls in love with a soldier and the story progresses with twists. After several hardships, she realises the truth, and all is well that ends well.

== Cast ==

* [[P. Bhanumathi]]
* [[S. Balachander]]
* [[S. V. Subbaiah]]
* [[M. Saroja]]
* Wahab Kashmiri
* M. K. Mustafa
* G. M. Basheer
* M. S. S. Bhagyam
* Lakshmiprabha
* C. S. D. Singh
* M. R. Santhanam
* K. S. Angamuthu
* [[Sachu|Baby Sachu]]

== Production ==
The film was shot partly at [[Central Studios]], Coimbatore, which [[Jupiter Pictures]] had taken on lease, and also at [[Neptune Studios]], Madras. Jupiters took it on lease after relocating from Coimbatore to Madras. The iconic Malayalam filmmaker K. S. Sethumadhavan worked as an assistant director, and [[M. A. Thirumugam]], later a successful Tamil filmmaker, was the editor. The art direction was by the inimitable A. K. Sekhar, while W. R. Subba Rao, trick photograph wizard, handled the camera. Wahab Kashmiri, hailing from Kashmir, moved to Calcutta where he worked as assistant director, and also acted in movies. He relocated to South India, where he worked in Coimbatore, and directed movies for Modern Theaters (Chitra) and others.
However, in the making of the film, things were not going smoothly and ego clashes developed among artists, filmmakers and others. To add to the problem, the film was simultaneously produced in Hindi starring Anoop Kumar (Ashok Kumar's brother), who was no match for Bhanumathi. For many reasons, Sami was replaced with L. V. Prasad, who took his bow in Tamil cinema, and he directed both the Tamil and the Hindi versions.<ref name="Hindu">{{cite news|title=Rani (1952)|work=[[The Hindu]]|author=Randor Guy|authorlink=Randor Guy|date=20 May 2010|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/article434342.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180208060351/http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/Rani-1952/article16302188.ece|archive-date=8 February 2018}}</ref>

== Reception ==
An article published in ''The Hindu'' reviewed: "Bhanumathi excelled in the title role. Balachandar, slim and handsome, was somewhat miscast, and the romantic sequences between them raised laughs! Despite the impressive cast and pleasing music, Rani flopped in both languages. Remembered for Bhanumathi's excellent performance, melodious music and well-choreographed dances.<ref name="Hindu" />
