The jilted on the grand tour

Queen (2014)

Directed by Vikas Bahl this film stars Kangana Ranaut, Rajkummar Rao and Lisa Haydon. After getting jilted two days before her wedding a young Indian woman decides to go on her honeymoon to Europe anyway.

Nothing is massively original about this coming of age story but it is a nice twist seeing someone from India come to Europe to “find themselves” as opposed to the other way round which we see so often in Western media. The plot is always fairly safe in terms of the path of our protagonist even if the supporting characters are a bit more out there. I enjoyed the film and the performances but I am not sure it took enough risks for my taste.


3/5
