The narrative of the film Mr. Rani revolves around Raja (Deepak Subramanya), whose aspirations of acting and achieving stardom were thwarted by his parents, who envisioned a future for him as an engineer. Despite their wishes, Raja clings to his dream and embarks on a journey to fulfill it, only to discover the harsh realities of the entertainment industry.

The turning point occurs when a video of Raja, portraying a woman in a college skit, gains attention from a renowned filmmaker, who selects 'her' as the lead in his upcoming project. Although Raja is initially hesitant to embrace his dream under a false identity, he adopts the persona of Rani. However, this newfound fame comes at a significant cost to Deepika (Parvathy Nair), who had been the reigning star until that moment. The dilemma intensifies as Raja grapples with his feelings for Deepika while waiting for the right moment to express his love.

In the review of Mr. Rani, it is noted that director Madhu Chandra has a history of addressing socially relevant themes with humor, as seen in his previous works like Vascodigama, which critiques the education system, and Selfie Mummy Google Daddy, which tackles mobile phone addiction. In Mr. Rani, he conveys a message about resisting familial pressure regarding education and career choices in favor of pursuing one's true passion. However, the execution of this narrative is perceived as overly dramatic, which diminishes the impact of the intended message.

Madhu also takes on a significant role in the film, portraying a filmmaker with a wandering eye, and delivers some of the film's most clichéd lines. With a protagonist masquerading as a woman, he indulges in visual theatrics, showcasing midriff and cleavage shots of 'her.'

Deepak Subramanya's performance as Rani stands out as a highlight of the film, as he convincingly embodies the character of a woman. His ability to convey subtle expressions, along with a graceful demeanor and appropriate styling, allows him to effectively portray femininity.

Parvathy Nair, portraying the character of Deepika, has a minimal role in the film, which primarily focuses on Raja/Rani and his friend/manager Manja (Srivatsa Shyam). In fact, Madhu has a more significant presence on screen than Parvathy. The remaining cast members contribute little of note to the film.

The issue with Mr Rani is that it occupies a middle ground; it is neither entirely poor nor particularly good. A considerable portion of the film's humor did not resonate with me, although this is subjective. While I am not an admirer of that style of comedy, I still found myself chuckling on a few occasions.

In conclusion, Mr Rani is a film best enjoyed when one is in the mood for lightheartedness, without any profound impact. It is a movie that one can approach with low expectations, which may lead to some degree of entertainment. However, if you are seeking intellectual stimulation, this film will not fulfill that desire.
