Well, to be honest when i saw this movie's trailer i didn't expect anything from this movie & if i say frankly, nobody did. The only 2 things that got the audience's attention were "Kangana Ranaut" & "London Thumakda"(song of the movie). But, what people got was "Sheer Awesomeness". Just to be clear, "The Film Is Super Amazing". When you see the movie name "Queen" don't actually believe it is a story of a real queen But, she is like a typical Delhi girl living next door. So, now i move on with the review.
So, the movie's story & life goes like this. Rani played by ever-so charming "Kangana Ranaut", who is a Typical-Delhi girl from Delhi's Rajouri Garden area. Her father own a sweet shop, his friend always says "Rani bitiya is very sweet" & she really is. But, according to her & in her own words, Rani has always been a sincere & good girl, she listens to everyone, does what is said to her & in this she has never done anything for herself, not a thing that she likes or even go to a place where she wants to be, in the world for herself & you just fall in love with her when you see her. So, the first thing she does by herself is "LOVE". So she falls in love with a boy named Rajesh played by "Rajkumar Rao" & oh god, he does everything possible within his power to show that he loves her too. After their romance, the moment of "Rani Weds Rajesh" comes. But, in all this Rajesh is now a UK return & that makes his behaviour a little weird now & that is the reason behind his new found "Modernity". So, upon his return now he feels after his trip that Rani is no-longer his type. And, just 2 days before her marriage, he decides not marrying her. So, understood, Rani is bits into pieces. After whole lot of crying, soon the tears dry. The next day, she opens the box of "Shaadi Ke Laddos"& while she eats them, she thinks that "The hell that has happened, she would still live happily & decides to go on her honeymoon to Amsterdam & Paris & that too, alone.
Her so concerned parents give her the permission. So, after a bumpy ride, she lands in Paris & after seeing the place & the people of Paris, she allows herself to laugh & smile. Soon, she meets another indian girl named "Vijaylakshmi" played by the dusky indian beauty "Lisa Hayden". She works in a hotel & lives with her son she has from her marriage & divorced. After learning so much from her & essentially how to be happy. So then, she flies to "Amsterdam" & accidently she comes across Rajesh. So, after seeing her like this, Rajesh regrets his decision of leaving her. So, he enters into his previous mode & decides to get back his Rani, oh i mean, Queen. So, now the whole movie revolves around the question that "Will Rani leave her new discovered life, for a man who left her stranded her just before 2 days of the marriage ? The whole movie posts this question quite awesomely.
Kangana is the backbone of this movie, she has a fabulous work in playing Rani. She gives yet another proof to his audience's that she means business & now she is to be taken seriously. But, the thing that makes her role standout is the way she looks "Natural" in her portrayal of a typical Delhi girl without any make-up & the jeans from Lajpat Nagar. You just fall in love with her. Rajkumar Rao & Lisa Hayden, are also perfect in their roles.
The director, Vikas Bahl, now he is the guy to watch out for, he has not left a scope for a scene to be made fanstastic. Everything is perfectly scripted & shot. The music of Amit Trivedi is great too, speciall wen you her "London Thumakda" on the screen, you just want to pop out of your seat & dance along.
After a very long time, you have a Hindi Bollywood Movie which highly satisfying! HIGHLY RECOMMENED!
