One of the most successful Bollywood flicks of 2014, Queen, uncovered a story of a naive girl, who is left heart-broken when her fiancé calls off their wedding right after the mehendi ceremony. She is a girl who is followed around by her plump baby brother wherever she goes. And, she finally steps out into the 'big bad world' after deciding to go on her 'Honeymoon' alone.
This girl from Delhi’s Rajouri Garden, who finds freedom, happiness and her very own new self, is Rani aka Queen. The middle-class family, Punjabi wedding scene, commitment-phobic man, and tear-jerking drama, may not be anything new, but the route that this story takes is definitely one from which every girl can learn something. So, all the girls out there who are waiting to fall in love, or are in love, or are trying to get over a heart break, here is what the Queen has to say to you.
