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.

"Mad, Bad, You Know, Beautiful ~ That's Bollywood".......2007-01-20
Are you like me when it comes to wandering around your local video store? Do you pick up one DVD case after another closely surveying the cover, or reading the description on the back in search of some undiscovered cinematic gem you've never heard of before? Do you trust that gut feeling, that occasional twinge of intuition that urges you to take a chance and rent something unknown?
That's exactly how I came upon the obscure little gem from '02, `Bollywood Queen.' I absolutely fell in love with this movie just minutes into my first viewing. While this is by no means a big budget production, it's as good as one. The plot is solid, the acting excellent and the female star of the movie Preeya Kalidas is absolutely beautiful, which is a major pre-requisite for any guy to enjoy a romantic film. Last but certainly not least I must mention the music which really lifts the movie to another level. It's an excellent Indian soundtrack displaying an imaginative blending of traditional and modern with a large dose of whimsy for good measure.
This is one of those films that make up for all the films you took a chance on that let you down. `Bollywood Queen' is definitely a keeper, My Highest Recommendation!
Very fun and cute.......2005-08-12
I just happened to rent this out of the blue, and was pleasantly suprised. This doesn't have the biggest budget obviously, so the dance and song numbers can be underwhelmingly. But it makes for a sweet romantic comedy with a little bollywood fun thrown in. If you liked Bride and Prejudice, then you'll like this bollywood-lite film also.
an ok movie.......2005-04-25
when i first watched it i thought it was pretty boring but then
i watched it again and i think it's pretty good. i love the music, it's very beautiful. i recremend this movie to any one
but if you think the beginning is boring hold out until the end
thats when it gets better. i think this movie is great.
This film is a waste of your time and money.......2005-02-07
Simply put it's one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
Product Description
A Bollywood Entertainer with a difference - India's first film on drag queens!
A comic-tragic evening with two Indian drag queens and a gay teenager as they attempt to seduce a handsome bisexual hunk.
Apart from being a drag romp set a la Bollywood entertainer with song and dance routines, the film is an exposition of the Indian gay landscape, the humanly tender bonds between drag queens in India who form unique, non-patriarchal families and the lurking impact of HIV/AIDS.
The film draws interesting comparisons between indigenous Indian Drag Queens who are a vanishing clan and the contemporary young gays of Bombay city's queer culture with borrowed western gay identity.
NOTE: THIS DVD PRICE IS ONLY FOR PERSONAL HOME VIEWING. PUBLIC SCREENINGS OF ANY SORT NEEDS PRIOR PERMISSION FROM PRODUCER. INSTITUTIONS PLEASE CONTACT PRODUCER FOR SCREENING RIGHTS WITHIN CAMPUS AND FESTIVALS.

Intimate, sad and humorous.......2007-06-19
Intimate, sad and humorous simultaneously, Gulabi Aaina, deals with a historical friendship in the purest Bollywood style. Music, songs, choreography enhance a love tangle of a very special quartet. An excellent example of Indian cinema, and it is surprising to know that it has been prohibited in its country.
~ Daniel Prada | Film Critic on gaybarcelona.net
Sridhar Rangayan's two-year-old short feature "The Pink Mirror," one of the most delightful films in the festival, was the first film about transvestites ever made in India and is banned in its native land. Bitchy banter, drama queen drama, handsome studs, dances and songs--and a dose of grim, health-related reality (to a melodramatic motif from Puccini's "Madama Butterfly")--fill its 40 minutes.
~ Bruce-Michael Gelbert | FireIsland Qnews
To me Gulabi Aaina seems like bridging a gap between say, Fire and Bombay Boys, more so its in Hindi, that in my opinion is adding that breadth of reality that people seem to bypass, the language of the masses... it reminds me of Benegal's Mandi, the black comedy, which is less of a story and more of character plays set in an unashamed, gaudily portrayed, in-your-face bordello.
