Queen (2014) [Movie Review]

I believe that Queen marks my first experience with a Bollywood movie. That being said, I don't know much about how a standard Bollywood movie is set up, so there are a few things that, as an American, I found to be unusual. I won't fault the movie for this, again because it might be the norm; but before the movie played, there was an anti-smoking ad. It also played during the movies intermission. And there was a full scene that featured text in the bottom-right corner that said "SMOKING KILLS".

Anyway, after Rani's fiancé ends their relationship two days before their wedding, Rani gets understandably upset. Her family tries to console her, but she ultimately decides that the best way to get better is to go on the honeymoon that she had planned, only by herself. Along the way she finds many things that make her sad, reminding her of her former love, but eventually makes new friends and she finds herself to be happier than ever.

So many things in this movie were done almost perfectly. The performances were all believable, and usually hilarious. I did find that many, if not all, of the characters all followed their stereotype, which was a bit of a disappointment, but as a whole, this movie was really good.

Rating: 9/10
