Queen
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Vikas Bahl, take a bow. This is a flawless presentation.
-
And that is the film's beauty: its pauses, its silences, its not saying too much when it can say less.
-
There are some films that you simply don't want to end. And when they do, you want to spring out of your seat and give the darned thing a standing ovation. "Queen", directed by Vikas Bahl is that rarity.
-
...is irresistible. Highly recommended. A must-see film.
-
...director Vikas Bahl. This is his first solo outing. Earlier he co-directed the National-Award winning 'Chillar Party' with Nitesh Tiwari. Bollywood should blow bugles in his honour.
-
A charming little film, this one's made with heart and feeling and it shows.
-
...a consistently funny and heart-warming film made of little gems, Kangana Ranaut being the brightest, biggest jewel of the piece.
-
...is one of the finest films this year that with all its simplicity strikes a chord with the mass.
-
...is simple, bitter-sweet, stimulating and humoursly entertaining.
-
...a sparkling little gem.
-
...is definitely a step in right direction for Indian cinema. Let’s hope it paves the way for more story-centric films in future.
-
...is a good entertainer, sure, but, more critically, it is a showcase for an actress poised to reign. This is one of those monumental moments when you feel the movies shift, and nothing remains the same. I've seen the future, baby, and it's Kangana.
-
...a significant Bollywood marker, a film that is intensely local and gloriously global, with a terrific lead performance by Kangana Ranaut, in a story that bubbles over with real feeling and meaning.
-
A true coming-of-age-story…no cop-out. Now that's a rare Bollywood gem.
-
...an ebullient, enjoyable film, its feminist points squirelled into the film’s margins. It’s the breeziest film you can imagine about a person’s transformation in a short span, and Ranuat is winningly responsible for it.
-
It' an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, and Rani stays in your heart.
-
The worst break-up ever makes for a warm, spirited film.
-
This is a delightful coming-of-age story about a simple girl. Watch this film for Kangna Ranaut's brilliant performance.
-
In a sense, it’s a sign that Bollywood too is coming of age. Queen is a royal triumph.
-
...is a well-meaning, well-mannered film that's funny and packs in small, elevating, but palatable messages.
-
Director Vikas Bahl has crafted one of the better coming-of-age tales in recent times.
-
Book yourself a ticket. Kangana makes for a great companion. You are guaranteed a good time.
-
Ultimately Queen is Kangana’s triumph. I left the theatre thinking about Rani and how the rest of her life would pan out. It’s not often you do that with a Bollywood character. This one is special.
-
...a squarely mainstream film. Simplistic? Undemanding? Perhaps. But ultimately it is immensely warm and winsome, pressing just the right emotional buttons.
-
It’s too long, too predictable, and too full of bits that needn’t have existed – that lizard bit? that sex shop bit? that casino bit? – but everything is pulled off with such panache (and with such good performances, especially from Ranaut) that you don’t feel like complaining.
-
...held together by a delightful performance by Kangana Ranaut that you shouldn’t miss.
-
If there is one reason why you should watch the film, it is Kangana's acting.
