Queen, thanks to a remarkably crisp and sophisticated screenplay (Parvez Shaikh, Chaitally Parmar and director Vikas Bahl) and infectiously lively dialogues written by Anvita Dutt and Kangana Ranaut, is like a wonderful puff of fresh air.
Kangana is given a character that is sweetly quirky and yet as everyday as they come. She embraces Rani Mehra with such lightness, grace and understanding that her very presence lights up every frame she is in.
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.
