Movie Reviews of Bollywood Queen
Movie Review: A surprisingly fun film
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
When I first watched the film I laughed out loud when "Jay" (James McAvoy) started singing. It was dubbed, of course, but he did a good job of lip-syncing to the music. Some of the things McAvoy had to do in the name of Bollywood were silly, but he went with it, and seemed to be enjoying himself. He seems very comfortable in his skin. You can see he realizes that whatever the part, you give it your best.
I found myself enjoying the film. I ended up watching it 3 times! "Jay" and "Gina" have chemistry. I liked the storyline. I'm a sucker for romatic comedies. James McAvoy is very charismatic and his talent, even in this early film, is obvious!
Bottom line -- I wanted to see more of James McAvoy's work, so I purchased this film, and I'm very glad I did.
Summary of Bollywood Queen
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.Art House & International DVD Video
