It is impossible to not fall in love with Kangana’s performance as this is possibly her best performance till date. You would be glued to your seats till the last credits roll out, which by the way have been done in The Hangover style. You will get to see the parts you missed in the film by means of photographs and video snippets at the very end. In simple terms, Kangana’s acting prowess has proved that she is a ‘Queen forever’!Read full review4.5

Queen is an ignorant Delhi girl who finds herself on a 'honeymoon' all by herself. What happens along the way forms the crux of this sweet, sensitive, fun social dramaRead full review4.0
Rajeev Masand | IBNLive
It’ an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, and Rani stays in your heart. Ultimately, it’s Kangana Ranaut who makes you root for Rani from the word go. The best way to describe her fabulous performance is by confessing that I forgot I was watching Kangana. It’s a raw, nuanced, delicately comical performance, and Bahl rightfully builds his film around his fearless, quirky heroine.Read full review4.0

Queen 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.Read full review4.0

Don’t miss Queen for anything. It is a sparkling little gem. Both the actress and the director use that element of gaucherie in the character to great effect, crafting a believable and adorable heroine who evokes both empathy and enchantment.Read full review

he story, which could easily have slipped into mush, stays free of drippy sentimentality, barring one or two raised-violin scenes. This could have turned into a clichéd international-accented soup, but despite a couple of exaggerated mis-steps, it stays grounded.Read full review4.0

It’s rare that Bollywood empowers it’s young, lead female protagonist with a role as brilliant and liberating. Queen is one of those few films that you wouldn’t mind watching again. Absolutely recommended!Read full review4.0

Sachin Chatte | The Navhind Times
Vikas Bahl’s Queen is an utterly delightful film that will bring a big smile on your face when you walk out of the auditorium. Smartly written with great attention to detail and extremely well acted, it is the kind of film that reminds you of the reason why you fell in love with movies in the first place. And if Bollywood can make such good films sans all the A list stars, then more power to it.Read full review

Vikas Bahl deserves applause for steering clear of melodrama and sparing us long monologues. I guess he was right to be satisfied with this film; there is really no need to change a single frame.Read full review4.0

Although, the initial part of the film has got some ‘not so necessary’ sound tracks which perhaps is the only little drawback of the film, the entertaining latter half covers up all other issues and will leave the viewers with only applaud for the director and of course, our bubbly Queen, Kangana Ranaut. So folks…just grab your tickets and be ready to fall in love with the Queen.Read full review4.0

Tanaya Ramyani | BookMyShow
A masterly tapestry of a woman’s self-discovery! Queen without doubt belongs to Kangna Ranaut. The character might slightly remind you of Sridevi in English Vinglish, but then, why compare? Rani is a completely fresh character. And we love her! Rajkumar Rao as Vijay may disappoint you a little. But as a complete jerk, Vijay, he did his part pretty well.Read full review4.0

Aniruddha Guha | TimeOut
The brilliance of Queen lies in its subtlety. The film is essentially a feel-good tale about triumphing against the odds, and utilises all possible tropes you’d associate with similar films (English Vinglish, for example), but does so with a slight flourish. The writing is consistently witty. Even in its more indulgent moments, it’s the humour that pulls the film through. Queen is a consistently funny and heart-warming film made of little gems, Kangana Ranaut being the brightest, biggest jewel of the piece. Shine on, you crazy diamond.Read full review

Suparna Sharma | Deccan Chronicle
Queen is a well-meaning, well-mannered film that’s funny and packs in small, elevating, but palatable messages. It challenges nothing. It just shows an Indian girl slowly, gently renegotiating life while remaining true to who she is.Read full review

Ultimately Queen is Kangana’s triumph. I left the theater thinking about Rani and how the rest of her life would pan out. It’s not often you do that with a Bollywood character.Read full review3.5
Mihir Fadnavis | Firstpost
Queen gets almost everything right, beginning with its unusual plot. Strangely there is not one but two endings in the film, and the second one seems shoehorned and unnecessary, because the first one does everything and does so perfectly. But all these are just small complaints, not jarring enough to make one dislike the film. So go watch it.Read full review3.5
Rahul Desai | Mumbai Mirror
Queen almost defies its bloated running time. I say ‘almost’ because one too many moments of enlightenment are piled on towards the end, none of which are surprising. This is instantly forgiven though, as soon as some very innovative end credits begin to roll.Read full reviewNR
Sweta Kaushal | Hindustan Times
Kangana really impresses with her performance. Though Rajkummar does not have much of a screen space, he plays the regressive fiancé perfectly. If there is one reason why you should watch the film, it is Kangana’s acting.Read full review

Devesh Sharma | Filmfare
Queen is definitely a step in right direction for Indian cinema. Let’s hope it paves the way for more story-centric films in future. After Vidya and Priyanka, Kangana has staked her claim as the right choice for gutsy roles. And that’s a good thing too.Read full reviewNR
Komal Nahta | KomalsReview
Kangana Ranaut’s performance in Queen overpowers the film itself. The film will, therefore, not be able to realise its full potential. It will do ordinary business because in centres other than the big cities, the audience looks for excitement in drama more than performance of the cast. Business in cities will definitely be good despite very poor opening as the word of mouth for Kangana’s acting will be supremely positive.Read full review

Shilpa Jamkhandikar | Reuters
This is a fun film, and the lead performance makes a difference. After “Dedh Ishqiya”, “Hasee Toh Phasee”, “Highway” and now “Queen”, it seems Bollywood is finally getting rid of the coy, virtuous heroine for good. That might be the best thing that’s happened this year.Read full reviewNR
Sanjukta Sharma | LiveMint
Queen is 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.Read full review

My review of Queen (2014) by bangreaayushi
jyothimathur, 9 years agoKangana Ranawat, the queen! The film ‘Queen’ has a very simple yet very different plot. This movie has given lives to many young women who struggle hard to live their lives on their own terms. The movie promises full entertainment and gives you many colorful moments to live life on your own terms. The story of the film goes like, Rani Mehra is an under confident girl. She has a Punjabi wedding and just before two days of her wedding, her NRI returned fiancée, Vijay drops out the option of getting married to her just because she is an under-confident girl. Completely shattered with her own dreams and by her wedding, she decides to go for the ‘honeymoon’ all alone. This was something new in the story, ‘honeymoon’ and that too alone? From here starts her actual world of self-discovering and self analyzing the things. She goes to Paris and Amsterdam to heel her pains and it is there she discovers lot of different things about her, through her friend Vijay Laxmi (Lisa Haydon). She gets to know the real world with her real potential. It is in this journey, she finds herself into a new world and a new life. This typical ‘bhenji’ Rani makes certain ‘thumkas’ in those songs played that are played in the backgrounds. She drinks, learns to laugh and most importantly she learns to live. It is in Paris, she tries a western outfit and its just her miss-typing that she sends it to her ex-fiancée Vijay instead of sending it to her friend Vijay Laxmi. Now she has to proceed ahead to Amsterdam where she goes all alone without seeking the help of her friend. There she learns to live with her four “boy-friends” and adjusts herself with the surroundings. One day while she is about to get to her place, she finds Vijay waiting outside her guesthouse. She is amazed to see him waiting. Vijay apologizes for his misbehavior towards Rani and he asks to reconsider their relationship. She decides that she would meet him in Delhi. She now is a confident ‘Queen’ who can take her firm decisions on her own ways. She bids a farewell to her friends by visiting in a rock concert, which she had decided to visit. On getting back to Delhi, she sees Vijay waiting for her decision. But this ‘Rani’ is firm in her decision of not going back to him and leaving her life on her own terms. The movie has a strong concept. Few years ago, when directors have worked on such subjects, they were either rejected by the producer or they did not prove out to be much provoking. But with the growing era, women-centric films created lot of refreshments in thinking and living. Director, Vikas Behel had worked extremely hard in getting the story glued to every heart. Kangana Ranawat is the ‘Queen’ of hearts. She is so pleasant to watch. She is an actress who added stars in the films. She is a real refreshment in this film. The film is a must watch and people should give it a try! -
