What is the film’s story?
In the film, Kangana Ranaut played the character of Rani Mehra, who was a young woman from Delhi who had always lived a sheltered life within the confines of her home. When her fiance (Rajkummar Rao) calls off the wedding, she embarks on a honeymoon trip all by herself.

The film was produced by Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, and Madhu Mantena.
Queen box office collection and awards
Queen was a low-budget movie that was made for approximately Rs 20-23 crore and became one of the top sleeper hits of 2014. After its lackluster start, the movie had an outstanding rise to success owing to good word of mouth and collected close to Rs 61 crore at the box office in India and almost Rs 97 crore internationally.
Queen received widespread acclaim from critics for its novel storyline and an award-winning performance by Kangana Ranaut. The movie went on to clinch many awards including the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi, Best Actress (Kangana Ranaut), and numerous Filmfare Awards among others.
