Queen: A Cinematic Gem not to be missed !!

Its rare that you see a movie in which you just forget to review or see the technicalities, you are just lured in to the screen and emotions of the characters , fall in love with each and every scene of the film and comes out of the theatre with such an emotionally satisfying and heart warming experince that fills your heart with such enormous joy  Queen directed by Vikas Bhal is such a fun filled yet classy entertainer with genuinely engaging script and terrific performances from the leading lady which leaves you no way other than falling in love with this movie and a must watch for alll girls who are married or going to be married.

Queen is the story a typical delhi girl Rani who gets dumped by her boyfriend one day before their marriage and decides to go for honeymoon to paris and Amsterdam alone. The film narrates the physical and emotional journey of Rani , her interations with different sections of people and how she evolves as a person at the end of the journey.You may find the story similar to english vinglish but the similarity ends here perhaps this movie just overtakes all its predecessors with its unbelivably realistic narration where each scene evokes life in its most plesant form. The script by the director is so relatable(or they made it so relatable)  that you don't feel that you are watching a movie, you are seeing something happening in your neighbourhood.

Especially the family scenes, their interactions with the heroine, the robbery sequence, the amsterdam sequences etc. There are numerous scenes in this film which are so genuinely witty  and so beautifully portrayed that is rarely seen in a Bollywood films yet so Indian in its sensibility.Filling the movie with the required freshness and energy are the terrific dialogues which are so real and humorous , some of them are truly laugh riots especially the interaction of Lisa Haydon with Rani's family, the night club scene in Paris etc. And the director takes the support of this terrific script and mind blowing dialogues to make one of the most realistic movies on womanhood in Bollywood.

The technical department is another hero of this film with sidharth Diwan and Bobby singh just mesmerize you with their visuals. The editing by Anurag Kashyap is so crisp that you won't be feeling bored even for a minute.And Amit Trivedi..man you just rocked like every time  with your inspiring music that we have no choice other than tapping our legs during the songs. Also the songs are so gelled with the movie that you won't realize when eight songs got over.

And not the least coming to the performnces, Kanagana....take a bowwww !!! This is by far the most natural  and effortless acting performance by a leading lady in hindi cinema for me and the most spell bounding performance in hindi after Nawasuddin Siddique in Gangs of Wasseypur. There is not even a scene in this film in which you can take your eyes out of her face.After seeing the dumping scene, the drinking scene in Paris, the Amsterdam room scenes, you can't think of any other actor who could do this role. In a few scenes you don't even think of the film , you are just worried about her character. This could be the role of her lifetime and she just blows your mind away with her award winning performance which is leagues above her contemporary actresses.Lisa Haydon is a revelation and does her role with utmost sincerity. Rajkumar Yadav should be complemented for doing such a small and negative character in a  female oriented film which shows his confidence over his own talent. And the family of Rani has given a natural and lovely performance.

In a whole Queen is one of those rare gem of a movie which is commercial yet classy stuff which shows you the real magic of cinema.Kudos to Vikas bhal , Anurag Kashyap, Kangana and whole team of the film who can be proud of this film for their entire career. This movie should not be missed in theatres especially girls.Must watch..... Highly recommended !!!!
