==Plot==
Alka Singh ([[Kangana Ranaut]]) is the leader of a political party who loves Rohan Mehra ([[Vir Das]]), a rising star of [[Bollywood]]. The elections in [[Gwalior]] have just finished and Alka's reign has come to an end. Her opposition, the Tomar party, have come into power and want to use their new position to take out Alka, but first, they want to hurt her. The Tomars abduct Rohan from [[Mumbai]] and take him back to Gwalior with the aim to kill him. They are about to pull the trigger when Revolver Rani turns up, all guns blazing and saves his life.

==Production==
Sai Kabir, who has directed Revolver Rani, said in an Interview, "It was a great experience… we shot the film in Chambal. It's a black comedy and it's a political film". Producer [[Tigmanshu Dhulia]] says that Revolver Rani is a complete B grade entertainment movie and everybody will like it. It was reported that Kangana Ranaut and other crew members were stopped by rebels near Chambal valley to capture photos with Kangana.

As per Shubha Shetty-Saha of [[Mid-Day]] The film Revolver Rani<ref>{{cite news|title=Movie Review: 'Revolver Rani'|url=http://www.mid-day.com/articles/movie-review-revolver-rani/15251066|accessdate=28 April 2014|newspaper=Mid Day|date=25 April 2014|archive-date=26 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140426195059/http://www.mid-day.com/articles/movie-review-revolver-rani/15251066|url-status=live}}</ref> starts with much promise, with a kind of quirkiness and black humour that fits well, but it begins to fizzle out by the end of it. Watch it for Kangana Ranaut and the music. Film critic [[Subhash K. Jha]] rated it 3.5 stars and wrote that Revolver Rani is a fiercely original piece of cinema, crafted with compelling concentration and impassioned intuition. As per Jha, Kangana plays like a cross between [[Uma Thurman]] in [[Kill Bill]] and [[Seema Biswas]] in [[Bandit Queen]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Revolver Rani Review: Kangana Ranaut plays Paan Singh Tomar|url=http://news.biharprabha.com/2014/04/revolver-rani-review-kangana-ranaut-plays-paan-singh-tomar/|work=IANS|publisher=news.biharprabha.com|accessdate=25 April 2014|archive-date=26 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140426214559/http://news.biharprabha.com/2014/04/revolver-rani-review-kangana-ranaut-plays-paan-singh-tomar/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Revolver Rani Movie Review : 3.5 out 5 Stars|url=http://news.worldsnap.com/entertainment/movie-review/revolver-rani-movie-review-3-5-out-of-5-stars-173145.html|work=IANS|author=Subhash K Jha|publisher=Worldsnap News|accessdate=25 April 2014|archive-date=26 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140426201036/http://news.worldsnap.com/entertainment/movie-review/revolver-rani-movie-review-3-5-out-of-5-stars-173145.html|url-status=live}}{{Rating|3.5|5}}</ref> Giving it 3 stars out of 5, [[Anupama Chopra]] praised the film in a review for ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' saying that "what keeps ''Revolver Rani'' together are the performances and the sly humour. I particularly enjoyed the two testosterone-filled duffer politicians whose only aim is to kill Alka. If you like uplifting, cheerful cinema, then this isn't the movie for you. But if, like me, you can enjoy bad people doing bad things, then ''Revolver Rani'' will be fun."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/reviews/movie-review-by-anupama-chopra-revolver-rani-s-sly-humour-is-fun/article1-1212377.aspx?htse0022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140426132258/http://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/reviews/movie-review-by-anupama-chopra-revolver-rani-s-sly-humour-is-fun/article1-1212377.aspx?htse0022|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 April 2014|title=Movie review by Anupama Chopra: Revolver Rani's sly humour is fun|work=www.hindustantimes.com/}}</ref> Harshada Rege from ''[[Daily News and Analysis]]'' praised Ranaut's performance, saying that "she plays the Venice-loving, gun-trotting politician in Chambal with much aplomb.

It is clear that Kangana Ranaut is trying hard for the 'sur' (mass), but this is not her territory: she gets to that well-judged manic edge only a couple of times, and then slides back. Her hold on the character is slippery, as is her accent, and the shade of her tan."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/revolver-rani-movie-review-this-chambal-ki-rani-is-not-for-kangana-ranaut/|title=Revolver Rani review: This is not Kangana Ranaut's territory|date=25 April 2014|work=The Indian Express|access-date=26 April 2014|archive-date=26 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140426101430/http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/revolver-rani-movie-review-this-chambal-ki-rani-is-not-for-kangana-ranaut/|url-status=live}}</ref>
