Queen Elizabeth Review: A Vibrant Family Entertainer

Fans of Meera Jasmine rejoice as the acclaimed actress returns to the silver screen in the Malayalam movie, Queen Elizabeth. Directed by M Padmakumar, the film sees Jasmine alongside Narain, marking their reunion after a 15-year hiatus since their last collaboration in Minnaminnikoottam (2008).

A Synopsis of Queen Elizabeth

Set against an urban backdrop, Queen Elizabeth presents a lighthearted narrative centered around an independent, unmarried woman navigating life on her own terms. Meera Jasmine portrays the titular character, whose unconventional lifestyle is met with skepticism from those around her.

Narain’s character, on the other hand, embarks on a quest to win her affections, setting the stage for a middle-aged romantic comedy infused with satirical elements.

The Creative Team Behind the Scenes

Produced by M Padmakumar alongside Ranjith Manambarakkat and Sreeram Manambarakkat, the film’s technical crew includes Jithu Damodar as cinematographer and Akhilesh Mohan as editor. The musical score, composed by Ranjin Raj, adds depth and emotion to the narrative.

Unraveling the Story of Queen Elizabeth

However, a transformative event prompts her to reevaluate her outlook on life and relationships. As Elizabeth embarks on a journey of self-discovery, the narrative explores themes of love, family, and personal growth against the backdrop of contemporary urban life.

The Review: A Quirky Family Entertainer

Meera Jasmine’s portrayal of Elizabeth is both captivating and endearing, while Narain brings a charming innocence to his character, Alex. Their on-screen chemistry harkens back to their previous collaboration, evoking nostalgia among viewers.

Highlights and Shortcomings

The film’s narrative, though engaging, occasionally falls into predictability, and some comedic moments may miss the mark. Supporting cast members, despite their talent, are underutilized, and the climax may feel contrived to some viewers.

The Final Verdict

Despite its flaws, Queen Elizabeth offers an enjoyable cinematic experience for audiences seeking a lighthearted family entertainer. With its relatable themes and charming performances, the film serves as a delightful option for moviegoers during the holiday season, reminding us of the enduring appeal of love, laughter, and self-discovery.

How 'Queen' was born: director Dijo details the journey

Engineering, as always, demands a collective effort - from driving in a tiny screw to erecting huge boilers. Queen , the latest super hit movie which the youth of Kerala is currently obsessed with, is a wonderful tale of such a collective effort.

It is indeed movie made by a group of engineers who swear that the 'engineering' that went in the making of this movie was no cakewalk at all. Dijo Jose Antony, the director of the movie, shares his alma mater, FISAT, with youth super star Nivin Pauly.

This 'Queen' is yet to step into a real college campus

Saniya iyappan could not have asked for a better....

Queen: placing friendship as a panacea

The coherent screenplay takes a complete grip on....

After short stints with various IT firms Dijo became an assistant director in films. Even though he approached many actors along with writers Shanil Muhammed and Jebin Jose Anotony (both mechanical engineers) with their story, the trio was disappointed. It was at this crucial juncture that one of the writers asked, "How about making a movie about 'mech rani' (the sole female student in the mechanical department of an engineering college)". Dijo, excited that Queen is running successfully in theaters and garnering positive reviews from all corners, unveils how it all happened.

The department of mechanical engineering is a unique branch as most of the students would be male. On rare occasions, a girl student might enroll in the department which is known as 'male bastion.' And thereof she would be conferred the royal title, 'mech rani' or 'queen of mech'. The makers decided to make this as the theme of their movie.

Forging is a mechanical process in engineering whereby a piece of heated metal is shaped by delivering blows by a hammer. Dijo says that they had to go through hardships to get the movie rolling. The young director says that those experiences, which shaped them as film makers, was similar to the process of forging. V Rinshad, TR Shamsudeen and Shibu K Moideen (all engineers) came forward to bankroll Queen .

Eight fresh faces were cast in lead roles and two among them were engineers. Suresh Gopi, another engineering graduate, wielded the camera. The casting was complete when Saniya Iyyappan 'D2D4' fame from Mazhavil Manorama joined the movie.

Dijo said that the makers had faced several hurdles during the filming of the movie, including acute financial crises. Amid the shooting, Dijo found his love in Prathiba Susan Thomas based in Dubai and the duo tied the knot.

The young film maker says that they shot the climax in the beginning and it has been a challenge for him as a debut director. He adds that he has been able to overcome the pressures of being a newcomer in the industry with his perseverance and sheer hard work. To those who wonder how a gang of debutants was able to deliver such a super hit movie, Dijo answers with a smile, "It is our success as a group."

ക്വീൻ ഇൗസ് കിങ്

തുടക്കത്തിന്റെ പതർച്ചകളേതുമില്ലാതെ പുതുനിരയെ വച്ച് കാലിക പ്രധാന്യത്തിന്റെ മേമ്പൊടിയോടെ ഒരുക്കിയ കൊച്ചുസിനിമയാണ് ക്വീൻ. ഷോർട്ട് ഫിലിമുകളിലൂടെ ശ്രദ്ധേയനായ ഡിജോ ജോസ് ആന്റണിയുടെ ആദ്യ സ്വതന്ത്ര സിനിമ. വിരലിലെണ്ണാവുന്ന ചില താരങ്ങളൊഴിച്ചാൽ ചിത്രത്തിലെ ബാക്കിയെല്ലാ അഭിനേതാക്കളും പുതുമുഖങ്ങൾ‌. എങ്കിലും ആദ്യ ചിത്രത്തിലൂടെ തന്നെ മലയാള സിനിമയിൽ വ്യക്തമായ സ്ഥാനം ഉറപ്പിക്കാൻ ഇവർക്കായി എന്നു നിസ്സംശയം പറയാം.

ചിലയിടങ്ങളിലൊക്കെ കല്ലുകടി അനുഭവപ്പെടുന്നുണ്ടെങ്കിലും കാലിക പ്രസക്തമായ ഒരു വിഷയം രസച്ചരടിൽ കോർത്ത് തനിമ കൈവിടാതെ അവതരിപ്പിക്കാനായതാണ് ക്വീനിന്റെ മേന്മ. എഞ്ചിനീയറിങ് കോളജുകളിലെ വിവിധ പാഠ്യവിഭാഗങ്ങളും അതിലെ മെക്കാനിക്കൽ എന്ന ഡിപ്പാർട്ടുമെന്റുമാണ് ക്വീനിന്റെ കഥാപശ്ചാത്തലം. പൊതുവെ പുരുഷകേന്ദ്രീകൃതമെന്ന് പറയപ്പെടുന്ന മെക്ക് ഡിപ്പാർട്ടുമെന്റിൽ രണ്ടാം വർഷം മുതൽ ഒരു പെൺകുട്ടിയുമെത്തുന്നതോടെയാണ് സിനിമയുടെ ആരംഭം. സിനിമ ഉൾക്കൊള്ളുന്ന വിഷയം എന്താണെന്ന് ആദ്യ സീനിൽ തന്നെ സൂചനകൾ നൽകുന്നുണ്ടെങ്കിലും പിന്നീടങ്ങോട്ട് കാര്യത്തിലെത്താന്‍ രണ്ടാം പകുതി വരെ കാത്തിരിക്കണം. 

പതിവു ക്യാമ്പസ് തമാശകളുമായി ചിരിക്കുള്ള വക കണ്ടെത്തുകയാണ് ക്വീനിന്റെ ആദ്യ പകുതിയുടെ പ്രധാന ദൗത്യം. ഒരു പെണ്‍കുട്ടി ക്ലാസിലേക്ക് കടന്നുവരുമ്പോഴുള്ള കൗതുകവും ശത്രുതയുമെല്ലാം ഇതിലുണ്ട്. ഇൗ പെണ്‍കുട്ടി പിന്നീടങ്ങോട്ട് മെക്കാനിക്കൽ ഡിപ്പാട്ട്മെന്റിന്റെ റാണിയായി മാറുന്നു. സൗഹൃദത്തിന്റെ ആഴവും ക്യാമ്പസിലെ മറ്റു ക്ലാസുകാരോടുള്ള തർക്കങ്ങളുമായി സിനിമ മുന്നോട്ടുപോകുന്നു. ക്യാമ്പസിൽ നിന്നു പുറത്താക്കപ്പെടുന്ന വിദ്യാർഥികൾ  തിരിച്ചെത്തുന്നിടത്താണ് ആദ്യ പകുതിക്ക് തിരശീല വീഴുന്നത്. 

തമാശകളുടെ ആദ്യ പകുതിക്ക് ശേഷം ക്ലീഷെകളുമായാണ് ചിത്രത്തിന്റെ രണ്ടാം പകുതിയുടെ തുടക്കം. രോഗിയായ നായികയുടെ കുടുംബ പശ്ചാത്തലവും സാഹചര്യങ്ങളും മനസിലാക്കുന്ന ആണ്‍പട പിന്നീട് അവളോട് കൂടുതൽ അടുക്കുന്നു. വീണ്ടും ക്യാമ്പസിലേക്കെത്തുന്ന ചിത്രം യുവത്വത്തിന് ആഘോഷിക്കാനുള്ള വക രണ്ടാം പകുതിയിലും നൽകും. മോഹൻലാൽ മുതല്‍ വിജയ് വരെയുള്ള താരങ്ങളുടെ റഫറൻസുകളിലൂടെ ആരാധകരെയും കയ്യിലെടുക്കാൻ ശ്രമമുണ്ട്.

സമകാലിക കേരളത്തിന്റെ കണ്ണിലെ കരടായി മാറിയിരിക്കുന്ന വിഷയത്തെ ഗൗരവം കൈവിടാതെ തന്നെ ക്വീൻ അവതരിപ്പിക്കുന്നു. ജിഷ കേസുൾപ്പെടെയുള്ള വിഷയങ്ങളെ സമൂഹം കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്ത രീതിയെയും ക്വീൻ കണക്കിന് വിമർശിക്കുന്നു. നിലവിലെ രാഷ്ട്രീയ സാഹചര്യങ്ങളുമായി ഏറ്റുമുട്ടുന്ന ക്ഷുഭിത കാമ്പസ് യൗവ്വനങ്ങളെയും ക്വീനിൽ കാണാം. ഭരണകൂടവും നീതിന്യായ വ്യവസ്ഥയും ചോദ്യം ചെയ്യപ്പെടേണ്ടതാണെന്നു പറഞ്ഞു വയ്ക്കുന്ന സിനിമ യുവത്വത്തിന്റെ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യ പ്രഖ്യാപനത്തിലൂടെയാണ് അവസാനിക്കുന്നത്. 

അങ്കമാലി ഡയറീസിന് ശേഷം കുറേയേറെ പുതുമുഖങ്ങളെ മലയാള സിനിമയ്ക്ക് പരിചയപ്പെടുത്തുന്നത് ക്വീനിലൂടെയായിരിക്കും‍. സാനിയ ഈയപ്പൻ, ധ്രുവൻ, എൽദോ, അശ്വിൻ, അരുണ്‍ തുടങ്ങിയവരാണ് ചിത്രത്തിലെ പ്രധാന വേഷങ്ങളിലെത്തുന്നത്.സലീം കുമാർ, ശ്രീജിത് രവി, വിജയ രാഘവന്‍, നന്ദു, ലിയോണ തുടങ്ങിയ താരങ്ങളും ചിത്രത്തിലുണ്ട്. ഇതിനു പുറമെ ക്യാമ്പസിലെ ചെറുതും വലുതുമായ വേഷങ്ങൾ കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്ത യുവാക്കൾ വേറെയും.  ഷാരിസ് മുഹമ്മദ്, ജെബിൻ ജോസഫ് ആന്റണി എന്നിവരാണ് ക്വീനിന്റെ കഥ, തിരക്കഥ, സംഭാഷണം എന്നിവ രചിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നത്. 

ഇതിനകം തന്നെ യു ട്യൂബിൽ ഹിറ്റായി മാറിക്കഴിഞ്ഞ വെണ്ണിലവേ എന്ന കല്യാണപ്പാട്ടുൾപ്പെടെ ചിത്രത്തിലെ ഗാനങ്ങളും മികച്ചു നിൽക്കുന്നു. എഞ്ചിനീയറിങ് വിദ്യാർഥികൾ തന്നെ അണിയിച്ചൊരുക്കിയ ചിത്രമായതിനാൽ ബിടെക്ക് കോളജുകളിലെ സാഹചര്യങ്ങളുമായി ചിത്രം നല്ല രീതിയില്‍ ചേർന്നു പോകുന്നു. വലിയ പ്രതീക്ഷകളില്ലാതെ തിയേറ്ററിൽ കയറിയാൽ തമാശയും ആക്ഷനും സസ്പെൻസും മാസുമെല്ലാമുള്ള ഒരു ചെറിയ സിനിമ കണ്ടിറങ്ങാം.

Queen Elizabeth Malayalam Movie

Meera Jasmine, portraying the eponymous protagonist in 'Queen Elizabeth,' unveils a blend of sarcasm and humor when she confronts the truth about her life, shedding light on human nature and emphasizing the importance of a positive mindset. Despite director M. Padmakumar's attempt to capture the protagonist's mental turmoil through close-up shots, the film struggles to sustain engagement during its conflict phase. Arjun T Sathyan intricately weaves Elizabeth's demeanor and fetish attitude, portraying her as arrogant, yet the narrative lacks depth in this two-hour tale.

Elizabeth's isolated world, confined to her apartment and office in a mall, unfolds, revealing her disinterest in connecting with her family. The initial scenes establish her as a conscious and stubborn boss. The entry of Alex (Narain), who owns a bookstore in the mall and harbors a crush on Elizabeth, becomes a catalyst for change. Elizabeth's business trip to Coimbatore triggers a mental crisis, leading to a transformation in her behavior, surprising her family and forging a connection with Alex.

Movie review: Queen is an incredibly nuanced film

Queen is a journey of self transformation every woman, dumped at the altar or not, must take. rating:.

Listen to Story

The internal chatter of a bride in the making, the blinking lights of the heartshaped 'Vijay weds Rani' sign that never quite finds its place, and the gradual development of each dancing member's role within the family, are the threads weaving the complex fabric of Kangna Ranaut's character as she opens Queen. The delightful film tells a simple story: that of a young Indian girl from Rajouri Garden in New Delhi, dumped by her fiance, played by Rajkumar Yadav, two days before her wedding, who chooses to go on the prebooked honeymoon to France and Amsterdam on her own anyway. The standard Indian cinematic response would involve a tedious amount of breast beating and emotional drama; the reconstruction of this virginal object of pity rebuilding her life, and fighting society to redemption.

Instead, Dadi, she of the grey stylishly cropped hair, pulls up a stool and tells her weeping grandchild of the lover she once had, and how one day she will one day be thankful this happened. Her nonplussed but supportive parents drive the daughter who has never left Delhi in an uncomfortable, restrained silence to the airport, because that is what will make her feel better. And though Rani can barely hail a cab or lift her suitcase, by god, she is brave enough, or strung out enough, to try.

And that is the film's beauty: its pauses, its silences, its not saying too much when it can say less. Rani, angry, hurt, almost running away from this mess, has a mental process which she is allowed the dignity of. Cocoon-like, Vikas Bahl allows the woman to emerge from the turmoil, in her own way, on her own terms, and that is uniquely a mastery of his own.

It is in the small things you find his infinite patience: The hesitation of a single-woman on a journey to ask a stranger to take a picture, Rani slipping easily back into the comfort of Hindi even with foreigners speaking other languages; her non-judgmental acceptance of companionship from the French-Indian slutty single mom in Paris played by the octave stretching Lisa Haydon. Bahl defines circumstances by gestures immediately recognizable to the women who have lived them. The fine balances are everywhere: in the gap between knowing and not knowing, in choosing to dissociate and casting judgement. It is an incredibly nuanced film. Virgin that she has been, Rani finds her own terms, 'sex' 'lip to lip kiss' 'yahan pe chalta hai aisa?' single motherhood, for worlds she has not encountered. (Ranaut holds her own in the dialogues credits for this, and deservedly so). Bahl allows the inexperienced woman to prod and seek like a child who does not judge, she just does not know. Much is told through gestures: a raised eyebrow, a widening of the eyes, a subtle shift in body language from diffident tourist in kurtis to a woman adopting sleeveless tops and skirts. Kangna occupies the nuances like she was born in them. The once affianced keep each others numbers, the families, neighbours and family friends, continue to keep in touch. There is a reality of middle class upbringing that defines the characters' actions. The film acquires a pace which it wraps around its lead character and that it remains true to until the last note. The mandatory 'nice girl meets alcohol' scene is achieved with a mood swinging adorability that will rank with Amitabh Bachchan's Amar Akbar Anthony when the legends are counted. Few scenes seem contrived, though there are those too, in the cooking contest. But by then, especially coming just after the hilarious transcontinental chain telephone call in search of the 'English word for hing' scene, these become forgivable. There are just too many glorious right boxes this film checks.

Rajkummar Rao, a convincing London educated jerk, forces a reluctant dislike, first with his ardent pursuit of Rani, and then his easy betrayal of her. His words are chameleon-like, smooth with just the right amount of self justification. Her motley friends seem exaggerated in parts, but they grow on you as an odd, ill-fitting organic crew. Their backstories seem irrelevant, and serve no purpose beyond being a foil for her own misfortunes; their trust and bond come too easy for the duration she is among them. But these are mild discordances. Body language is Kangna's most powerful tool. From the languid shoulder-dropping shuffle to the confident canter of a woman set free, a woman happy in herself, Queen is a journey of self transformation every woman, dumped at the altar or not, must take.
