David Rooney Variety A riot of color and confusion stitched around a flimsy plot, director Jeremy Wooding's debut gets off to a vibrant start and offers intermittent charm, but runs out of steam fast. Mar 31, 2009 Full Review Jane Howdle Empire Magazine In his debut feature, James Wooding has combined a troubled romance with shades of mysticism and the kitschy, over-the-top glamour of a Bollywood musical to come up with a pleasantly original mix. Rated: 3/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Arwa Haider Time Out Quaint shots of the capital and the countryside suggest this is designed for overseas Anglophiles; and the generally ropey lighting, flimsy characterisation and so-so song-and-dance can't be excused by 'low budget charm'. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile Full of fun but with a deft touch of drama, Bollywood Queen achieves exactly what the filmmakers intend, and should be a terrific date movie. Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall More than a little clunky, and too silly and sweet to be much more than frivolous fun. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Very weird combination of London & Bollywood, good idea, shame it doesn't quite work. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member An early James McAvoy film where he is decent enough, but the script concerning frowned upon relationships between races is certainly low-brow and the movie is directed by numbers. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member well...watchable I guess Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The whole film was kind of blahh, though I do love a good bollywood. However, James McAvoy was about the only good bit of this movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This film gets this many points from me purely on the basis of James McAvoy being in it. Pretty terrifying otherwise. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The world does not need another Romeo and Juliet adaptation, and the bollywood style of singing and dancing is not for me. However, James McAvoy is always a treat. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
