Bohemian Rhapsody commemorates the British rock band, Queen, loved by generations. This long awaited film shows the ascent of the band and entertains for two hours.

The movie is about the life of the main vocalist of the band, Freddie Mercury. Director Bryan Singer manages to capture the timeless connection with the music. Every concert and struggle Queen went through was vivid. Cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel recreates scenes close as possible to the iconic Queen concert videos. It feels like one is there with the crowd. One leaves with nothing but respect for the front man and his bandmates and all who contributed to their rise.

Keeping Freddie Mercury’s signature moves on point, actor Rami Malek makes every scene exciting. Even though the actor couldn’t sing or play the piano before he got the role, no one could have done a better job.
