More than a decade after ‘Queen’ became one of Bollywood’s most acclaimed films, reports suggest its sequel could take Rani Mehra across multiple citi…
1/7Rajouri Garden, Delhi, India | Rani’s journey begins in Delhi’s Rajouri Garden, where she is shown preparing for her wedding. Just two days before the ceremony, her fiancé Vijay calls off the marriage, prompting Rani to go ahead with the pre-booked honeymoon trip to Paris and Amsterdam alone, marking the start of her solo journey.
2/7Paris, France | Paris is the first destination she arrives at solo on what was meant to be her honeymoon. The French capital is accommodating for first-time solo travellers, featuring highly walkable arrondissements and an efficient transport network. Mirroring Rani’s initial days, a great way to ease into the city is by skipping rigid itineraries and simply spending an afternoon people-watching at a sidewalk café or exploring the cobblestone alleys of Montmartre.
3/7Exploring Paris on Foot | Much of the film captures Rani exploring Paris casually alongside Vijayalakshmi. Instead of rushing between commercial landmarks, dedicate a day to wandering through the Latin Quarter, strolling along the banks of the Seine, and discovering the hidden courtyards that give the city its local charm.
4/7Eiffel Tower, Paris | The Eiffel Tower stands as the definitive visual landmark during Rani’s time in France. Located on the Champ de Mars, it remains a must-visit on any traveller’s Parisian itinerary. To maximise the experience and avoid overwhelming crowds, seasoned travellers recommend booking tickets well in advance for early morning access, or packing a picnic to catch the evening light show from the lawns or the nearby Trocadéro gardens.
5/7Paris to Amsterdam Journey | Rani transitions from France to the Netherlands by train. High-speed rail networks link Paris Gare du Nord to Amsterdam Centraal in just under three and a half hours. For travellers building a multi-city European itinerary, this seamless rail journey offers a smooth transition from classic Parisian architecture to Amsterdam’s relaxed, canal-side energy.
6/7Amsterdam Hostel Life & Volendam | In Amsterdam, Rani transitions to a hostel setup, sharing a room with international backpackers. The city boasts a thriving hostel culture, particularly around central hubs and green spaces like Vondelpark, making it easy for solo travellers to find community. The film’s itinerary also features a day trip to Volendam, a historic fishing village just 30 minutes north of Amsterdam, perfect for travellers looking to experience traditional Dutch architecture, old harbours, and local seafood.
7/7Reports regarding the sequel, ‘Queen 2’, indicate a major shift in geography. Rather than returning abroad, the script is reported to follow Rani on an extensive pan-India journey across various metropolitan cities, with filming reports tracking her story through the bustling streets and urban setups of South Mumbai.
