Queen is a character-driven story revolving around Rani, a lady who goes on a journey of self-discovery after her fiance called off their wedding at the last minute.

Vikas Bahl direction's is excellent. He handles every emotional scene with perfection; he beautifully captures the relationship between Rani and his father with effective flashbacks. Vikas Bahl's screenplay is good but there are some minor flaws: the film loses focus in the third act, the main conflict could easily be resolved but dragged on to the end. The comedy isn't forced and it blends well with the movie. The dialogue is decent. The character growth of Rani is handled well and felt smooth and realistic. She goes from a timid, naive, obedient girl to a strong, independent lady full with zeal for life. The film takes place in three different locations: India, Paris and Netherlands, each of those locations showcase different stage of growth for Rani. She meets different people, learns more about life and other cultures and she finally realized that there's more to life than being dependent on someone. Kangana Ranaut does a brilliant job as Rani, she showcases every emotions nicely. she is able to portrayed her character's vulnerable and timid side and also the bold and enthusiastic side, effortlessly. RajKummar Rao is also impressive, he's understated and consistent with his performance, even though his character lacks depth and motiveless. Lisa Haydon is great as the hippie mixed-race hotel maid Vijay, she's the first person to befriend Rani, she listens to her (even though she has no idea what she's talking about) and help her realized her true potential. The rest of the cast provide good support.

Technically where do I start? Amit Trivedi's musical composition is simply wonderful, and the location feel gives it a unique atmosphere. The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking; each individual shot in the film is crucial, and the camera work captures it with great, eye-level seeking shots, displaying the amazing scenery and characters emotions. The editing is seamless; the narrative style simply fits the film, and the scenes transition is smooth.

In conclusion, Queen is a fantastic movie, with enough character development to care for the characters and good performances, with a very relevant message.
