I honestly did not have much choice for the letter Q.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am really not that open minded regarding movies. Unless it is something I mindlessly watch on weekends on some random TV Channel<\/p>\n

The only movie I have under Q is Queen starring Kangana Ranaut. And I apparently have a full length review I had written for a e-magazine when it was released. I still don’t remember how I managed to write such a nice review. Here it is:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A traditional Rajouri girl gets heart broken a day before her wedding and decides to go on her honeymoon all by herself. And what does she get from that honeymoon period? Well that is what you find in the second half of the movie.<\/p>\n

Sounds familiar right?<\/p>\n

The story is something we have been seeing from time to time. But what makes this movie a good one is that, there aren\u2019t any unnecessary scenes, there isn\u2019t any sentimental this-part-will-make-you-cry scene.<\/p>\n

The whole movie is a fun filled adventure of Rani who finally tries and goes out to have fun in this harsh world all alone. With her innocence she manages to make a lot of mistakes and at the same time make a lot of friends.<\/p>\n

Plot:<\/p>\n

Rani (Kangana) is all glorified and ready to marry the love of her life, Vijay only to get depressed as he breaks off the marriage a day before. So she decides she needs a break and uses her honeymoon ticket as an excuse. And thus our ever so shy Rani goes to Paris and Amsterdam all alone.
\nThere she meets up with Vijayalakshmi aka vijay who happens to be half Spanish\/French and half Indian. She freaks out with the said hotel staff, goes clubbing, dances, drinks alcohol and starts loosening up from her broken marriage. She starts viewing life in a new way. Like this part where she says that one of her neighbors (or relatives not sure) died of cancer without ever touching a cigarette or trying alcohol, so I might as well try both. She tries and changes her perspective of life now that her only major goal of marrying her lover got spoiled. Being the obedient daughter who says “han, ok mummyji, daddyji” she learns that having your reason to live is more important by seeing that the hotel staff lives for herself and her son. But she still needs to find her own reason right? So she decides that she will go to Amsterdam after all in search of more answers.
\nBidding farewell to Vijayalakshmi (and getting a bit of fashion sense) she goes to Amsterdam only to find that her friend has booked her a sharing basis room and unfortunately (I would have felt ecstatic) her room mates are all guys (one of the guys is absolutely cute)
\nShe learns to live with them and enjoy their company as well. Oleksander (she starts calling him Sikinder) is the cutie Spanish artist guy while Taka is the Japanese joker who is shorter than Rani is and Tim is the African looking French guy who sadly says \u201cI am from France\u201d when Rani presents them her great Indiansed French toast.
\nAnd in the end she does something I had wanted her to do in the very beginning of the movie\u2026 Give back her engagement ring to Vijay, thank him and walk away!<\/p>\n
