Rani Padmini is a film that showcase's feminist strengths with the exuberance and beauty of Himachal Pradesh and surrounding areas. Padmini (Manju Warrier) a traditional married woman who goes to Manali to meet her car rallyist husband Giri (Jinu Joseph). Rani a north-indian bred troublemaker with feminine qualities running away from a rowdy who has posed threat to her life. As fate would have, they meet together and an illustrious journey starts where they are met with pleasantness, happiness, dread and excitement. The other half of the film is met with the generalist all-rounder aspect of women's capability, who can care, comfort and in even dire situations be a guiding force. Aashiq Abu's (director) skill in blending the exact amount of charm, snippiness, candour and clumsiness together with blanket of existential fun and basking creativity soars throughout the film.
