Director Vikas Bahl and actress Kangana Ranaut strike the right chord with their triumphant movie 'Queen' on the occasion of International Women's Day. The movie impressed one and all with its storyline, and Kangana's superlative performance of a simple young woman made the audience fall in love with the actress. From biggies of Bollywood to the mango people, everybody praised the performance of Kangana. And thus, 'Queen' proved to be a commercial as well as a critical success.

Madhuri Dixit, who is better known as the Dhak Dhak beauty, made her promising comeback with a women centric film 'Dedh Ishqiya'.

After 'Queen', actress Kangana Ranaut again came back with yet another women centric film, titled as Revolver Rani.
