Description:
Nineteen year old Geena is entranced by the glamour of Bollywood and seduced by the sounds of R&B girl groups. Secretly, Geena has formed a vocal trio with her two best friends, Anji and Neeta. When Geena has an unexpected encounter with Jay, she finds that love can be just as enthralling as the songs on the silver screen suggest. After Jay saves her from an accident outside the family factory, her hero fantasies, and the predictions of her astrologer uncle, seem destined to come true.

Rating:  - A surprisingly fun film
I've recently become interested in James McAvoy's work. I've seen most of his later work, and couldn't resist purchasing this film to see how he fit into a Bollywood film.
The story is a simple one -- a sort-of West Side Story, but without the tragic end.
I'm somewhat familiar with Bollywood-type films. I know they are like the old Hollywood musicals with the cast breaking out into song at various times in the story. Bollywood Queen is no different.

Rating:  - Bad film that is misleading about documentary practices
This is a poorly produced film that is either misinformed or misleading about the nature of documentary history and documentary production. The film 's makers have no sense of the essay form history of documentary film, or the fact that Moore's techniques, in fact, fit squarely within the long history of documentary work since the early 20th century.
Rating:  - Don't write it off...
The cover might look cheesy and the plot might sound a little hokey, but don't write this movie off! It is amazing. You have to go with it. Don't sit there and analyze it or say how that will never happen. Just watch it as a love story via Romeo and Juliet or West Side Story. Don't scoff at the music, but just go with the flow. This movie is not one to take all that seriously. Just enjoy it for the decent acting (especially by James McAvoy) and the soundtrack which makes this movie quite special.
Rating:  - If you are game for something really different!!
All I can say is...WOW!!! I have seen like one Bollywood movie before so I already know what to expect. Dubbed singing, sudden blurps of music. You gotta just let go and enjoy the unique sounds of Indian music and the cinematic style. There are moments of incredible beauty. I bought this because I have recently grown interest in UK shows and films as well as James McAvoy's body of work. There are moments where he is so ridiculously odd you can't help but laugh at him. Every great actor has got to ... Read More
Rating: - West Side Story with a happy ending.
This movie is suprisingly engaging. Though a simple plot, the subject matter is timeless. The movie was done tastefully and unlike American similar movies, done without sex and violence. Nice music, uplifting and entertaining.
