Fronted by the ineffable Zena Davine, the five-piece band Queen Zee, a riotous noise-pop outfit careening out of the U.K., exists as a kind of mandate against the ideological status quo. “There is [an] apathetic wave of music at the moment that is so safe and so minimalist that it’s kind of nothing at all,” says Davine. “It’s indie boy bands making landfill music that sounds like a fucking ringtone. There’s no color, no vibrancy, it has nothing to say. It feels like the opposite of everything art should be. We want to be the antithesis of that. Queen Zee wants to be the brightest thing it can be.” 

To that end, the songs on Queen Zee’s eponymous debut full-length are not only bright—as in, burn-out-your-retinas levels of brightness—they also reflect the gleefully haphazard, DIY nature of how the group has always operated. Tracks on Queen Zee zig and zag between grunged-out, poppy punk  (“Loner,” “Lucy Fur,” “Hunger Pains”), sleazy paens to gay sex (“Porno”), and multiple tracks that serve as a ragged, glammy call to arms. In that spirit, the record crests with “Sissy Fists”—a stadium-sized queer anthem that is equal parts defiant and celebratory—in which Davine howls, “Raise your sissy fists! Raise them! Raise them!” For queer kids raised on steady diets of old Hole and Bikini Kill records, Queen Zee’s message of sweat and glitter is like manna from some kind of gay heaven.

For Davine, the defiance in Queen Zee’s music makes sense, given that it is a band that was literally willed into being. “I’ve been in and out of bands since I was a teenager in Liverpool,” they explain. “We have a really great punk scene, and I was definitely a queer kid coming out in a punk scene, but the band was born out of my own frustration. I was running my own DIY punk shows in Liverpool, and was just like, ‘I’m just going to pretend I have a house band. My house band is called Queen Zee and the Sasstones.’ I decided to start sticking Queen Zee and the Sasstones on gig posters. I posted some terrible demos online and looked for people that could play with me, to make this idea into an actual thing. I wanted to do this since before I was able to do it.”

A few notoriously messy shows and many lineup changes later, Queen Zee eventually transformed from performance art concept into a living, fire-breathing rock band. “As soon as we started, people just instantly responded to the idea,” says Davine. “The music was just barely listenable at first, but people loved the idea of this angry queer band. There’s a lot of very queer music out there, but there’s very few actually-queer punk bands that are heavy and gnarly. So there were people that loved us, and then there were lots of other people who were like, ‘No, absolutely fuck this.’ We exist in a weird space. Within the queer scene, which is all about drag queens and pop music—both of which, I love—they can’t really buy into us because it’s too heavy and too much about playing loud and live. And then, the punk scene doesn’t really want to buy into it because, well, it’s queer. In their minds it’s too much like Scissor Sisters or something. We’re kind of left for the people in the middle, who really, really love it.”

For Davine, the fact that a queer rock band is still—even in 2019—something of a cultural oddity remains a frustrating cross to bear. As a musician with a look that is equal parts Iggy Pop, Leigh Bowery, and Sharon Needles, fronting a rock band is a dream job, but as a trans person, that kind of visibility can be complicated. “The year we played the Reading and Leeds festival in the U.K., I was the only trans person on the lineup, which blows my mind when you consider there’s probably close to 1,000 people performing at those events. When people ask why there aren’t more bands like ours out in the world, I don’t know what to tell them. It may be that trans people and queer people are put off from performing because it means shining a spotlight on yourself and receiving criticism. We get death threats, we get abuse when we play shows, we get serious abuse online. I could totally understand a queer person being, like, ‘OK, I’m not going to put myself in that firing line,’ because it is definitely not easy.”

So why do it? The answer, at least for Davine and the rest of Queen Zee, lies not only in the music itself—messy, celebratory, angry, and joyful—but in the thrill of human connection, of being your most authentic self in a public space. “I don’t know what you can do other than exist,” says Davine. “And hope all of this—the band, the music, us—will continue to exist, and over time the rest of the world will just have to get used to it. After we play shows, I love that part at the end of the night where everyone comes and hangs out at the merch table. The kids aren’t necessarily there to buy merch, but just to hang out, meet other queer kids, and because they love what we are saying and doing.”

“That is such a special and unique thing that we get to experience every night,” Davine enthuses. “We get to go back to the hotel after having that experience. I can never forget how receiving that amount of love feels. It keeps you going.”

Queen Zee: The new queer Brit punk band you need to know about

The raucous group and lead singer zena davine are ready to shake up the sappy indie scene..

By Will Stroude

Words: Thomas Stichbury

As the indie music scene sees the revival of “random, moody musings from soft boys,” a much-needed antidote has arrived in the form of Queen Zee, 2019’s most exciting new queer British band.

Led by trans singer Zena Davine and completed by guitarist Jason Taylor-Brown, bassist Frankie Wortho, Ash Summers on keyboard, and drummer Dave Bloom, the Merseyside fivesome’s brand of brash rock has already received the the stamp of approval from legends like Liam Gallagher and Iggy Pop – and after releasing their eponymous debut EP in February, the group look set to make even bigger strides.

“I’m trans, so everything I write comes out of a trasn brain”, explains Zena in Attitude’s June issue , available to download and to order globally now.

“I’d never really had a word for how I felt. I never really had a way to express it. The only thing I could latch on to was drag. That’s all I assumed it was.

“I knew I was fluid in my sexuality — it didn’t matter to me if you were a boy or a girl — but in terms of gender, I’d never confronted it. Then something just clicked one day.

Determined to educate the masses, Queen Zee scored an unlikely goal when their song Boy was played over a World Cup highlights clip on Sky Sports football show Soccer AM .

The lyrics include: ‘Raised on homo trans hate rhetoric, waiting for me to come out of the club, a clenched weapon between his fists.’

Zena adds: “That is one of my favourite memories. This song about gender violence playing in the background of the goal montage. This is why we exist!”

Queen Zee’s plans for world domination includes holding court in other mainstream spaces.

“I [remember] watching queer bands talking about equality and identity, stuff that meant a lot to me, but they were playing to 30 or 40 people who agreed [with those views] — were preaching to the converted.

“The people who need to hear it are at the main stage at Glastonbury, or the big arena shows where artists don’t talk about these things, where people are unaware of what it’s like to be a trans person, or to have an LGBTQ life. We’ve always been about invading those spaces.

“We’re getting there. We’ve got our foot in the door and we’re about to push our way in.”

Album Review: Queen Zee – Queen Zee

Merseyside punk crew Queen Zee pack a punch on self-titled debut

With the likes of IDLES and Shame making huge strides into the charts recently, it seems there’s currently a large public appetite for punk rock with fierce bite and a twitch in one eyebrow. And while Merseyside’s Queen Zee have both of these in good supply, they also strike a far more flamboyant pose than their contemporaries. The glam blast of Loner may namecheck Depeche Mode and kings of uncool Steely Dan, but it’s got more in common with the cartoonish personality and tin-can rattle of California ghouls The Cramps.

In fact, each song comes with kablammo moments that sucker-punch the senses, such as the tasty guitar lick that announces Hunger Pains. Meanwhile vocalist Zena Davine – AKA Queen Zee – takes cues from Lou Reed’s streetwise deadpan, dropping sassy one-liners like, ‘ No-one wants a Happy Meal once it’s stale ’, with tactical casualness. After all, why twiddle thumbs when you can push people’s buttons? Verdict: KKKK Words: James Mackinnon

Queen Zee – ‘Queen Zee’ review

Flipping typically testosterone-fuelled music on its head, the Liverpool band’s debut album combines incisive lyrics with punk noise to forge insistent anthems for the LGBTQIA community

On their self-titled debut album, Queen Zee seem to have released 10 loud, heavy songs that ooze with attitude. It’s only when you clamber past the noise and sit within it that you notice the subtlety at play: a two-note riff that stays longer than it should, the incisive, witty lyrics, the infectious choruses.

“I’m alone / I’m alone / I’m a loner” are the first lines on the record. Anthemic and infectious, it’s also deeply relatable. Compared to their previous work, the album is faster, scrappier and less punky.   With hefty drums and crunchy guitars, the 10 tracks are untethered from what you would expect from the Liverpool band; their sound floats between generations, harking back to days of Iggy Pop while reminding you that we’re in 2019 with a frontperson who’s openly queer and trans writing lyrics that tackle transphobia.

The album continues to eschew convention in surprising ways. Beneath the polished exterior, the music carries a sadness; t here are heavy political messages here. Each song manages to resonate with everyday life. Rhythmic, angry, guitar chords on ‘Idle Crown’ drop behind a weighty baritone, with the growled lines “when I’m broken / I’m just a wreck”;  the album is a portrayal of the emotions of the working class person. Whether it’s on ‘Anxiety’ or ‘Boy’, Queen Zee have been introspective while maintaining their image of power-pop-punk band that gives no fucks.

Containing some of the more infectious hooks you’ll hear this month, ‘Queen Zee’ comes with so much to unpack that it should appeal to a vast audience. It flips the concept of typically testosterone-filled music on its head, simultaneously making the anger and noise cathartic and catchy, expelling the tormented souls of the affected and marginalised in society.

So many of Zee’s politics intertwine with the lyrics within the noise of the instruments to forge insistent anthems for the LGBTQIA community. The five-piece band from Liverpool have dropped an album that’s sure to stick with you long after your first listen, if only for the noise.

"I don't see myself as a musician, I'm more of a performer or entertainer. And I've got no time for music that doesn't entertain" say Merseyside's Queen Zee. "Apathy is in fashion. Minimalism has gotten so minimal that all meaning has disappeared completely. I'm not sure what I want to be, but I know I want to be the opposite of that."

Fronted by the peculiar and direct Zena Davine (aka Queen Zee) the band is completed by co-founding member and multi-instrumentalist Jason Taylor-Brown, Frankie Wortho (Bass & Vocals), Ash Summers (Keys, Percussion & Vocals) and Dave Bloom (Drums & Percussion).

The often accredited "punk" tag seems a stretch for Queen Zee. Having been in and out of Liverpool's anarchic DIY scene in their teenage years,  founding members Davine & Taylor-Brown both acknowledge Queen Zee as a step away from the typical punk band format. "I wanted to create a persona, as if it was a drag queen or superhero, but that was rooted in punk. In a Leigh Bowery meets Debbie Harry type of way" states Davine. These home produced, online demos quickly reached the ear of Taylor-Brown and the duo started their assault on the art around them.

"I had been putting Queen Zee & The Sasstones on posters around the city for a couple of months, with no band making it to the show. I had chosen the name to include... & The Sasstones to make it feel as if it was more than one person." Davine continues 

With Taylor-Brown and original drummer George Micheal on board the band played their first show. Appearing with no announcement (or rehearsal) at the infamous Drop the Dumbulls, the ten minute whirl of noise and bloodied noses was so chaotic it was wrongly reported by the local paper as the band covering Firestarter by The Prodigy.

In-fact at no point in their career have Queen Zee taken themselves too seriously, having being shut down by the local Council after protesting their own gig and barred from venues across the city for their bizarre onstage antics, it makes sense their first radio play would come from a bedroom recorded demo of the tongue in cheek "I Hate Your New Boyfriend". Appearing on Phil Taggart's BBC Radio 1 show, who would later go on to called the band "The Rocky Horror Picture Show on steroids". Following singles "Sissy Fists", "Idle Crown" and "Victim Age" have gained similar applaud. With "Victim Age" hand picked by the legendary Iggy Pop for his Radio 6 show after calling the band "Strange, weird, dirty people from Liverpool". 

In 2018 the band appeared on Huw Stephen's Radio 1 new music show with their Maida Vale live session. Having made BBC history with first all female crew. In the following interview the band announced that their debut album was on it's way.

Consequent tours and festival appearances across Europe have shown off Queen Zee's cult fanbase, and after winning the PRS flash funding at 2018's The Great Escape the band continue to push the limits of how far they can take their absurdity.

Once there was A King Zee world: Full story, plot, summary, casts, teasers

Once there was a King Zee world:  This series is set in the 1940s. In 1945, Ranaji returned to Ameerkot after six years of fighting the war against the British. Gayatri is the daughter of a rich zamindar , but she is considered  Manglik  (inauspicious by birth).

On the other hand, Rana Indravadhan Singh (Ranaji) is the king of Amerkot who has been traumatised after his first wife, Rani Sulakshana. Ranaji’s mother, Rajmata Priyamvada, has a debt to pay to Gayatri’s father, so she offers Ranaji’s hand in marriage instead. Unwillingly, Ranaji marries Gayatri.

After marriage, Ranaji and Gayatri slowly form a bond. However, challenges are presented by family members like Badi Rani Maa, a woman pretending to be Sulakshana, Avdhesh, Rageshowri and so on.

Due to Badi Rani Maa and Rageshowri, Ranaji marries Rageshowri and loses his memory, and forgets Gayatri. Gayatri is thrown off a cliff by Badi Rani Maa. She is then saved by Lukhan and then disguises as Savitri to help Ranaji (King Rana) regain his memory. On the other hand, Lakshyaraj, Chandravadan’s son, discovers that Gayatri is alive. He tells Badi Rani Maa this truth before he dies due to a spear passing through his chest during a performance at the festival of colours. Badi Rani Maa later confirms and realizes it is true. She tries to bring Ranaji and Savatri together in order to expose Savatri as Gayatri to King Rana (Ranaji). On the day she wants to real the truth about Badi Rani Maa and Rageshwari to King Rana, Badi Rani Maa posses so may threats all to no avail, such as planting a bomb in Gayatri’s carriage, and even sending a man to kill the priest who has come to testify against Badi Rani Maa. Everything seemed to be in the favour of Gayatri as the priest’s testimony convinces Ranaji, until Badi Rani Maa exposes savatri’s real face in front of every one by pouring water on her. King Rana becomes angry again, and sends Gayatri and Rajmata to the dungeon. Later he meets Gayatri to tell him the truth. They then decide to redo everything on the cliff again. Badi Rani Maa tries to convince Ranaji to just kill Rajmata and Gayatri, as it is how  politics  is played. But she fails in her attempt. On the hill, Badi Rani Maa has once again already exchanged the fake bullets with real ones. This time Ranaji decides to shoot Gayatri.

As Gayatri is shot by Ranaji, he begins to experience a trauma. Badi Rani Maa begins to laugh and jubilate on the hill that Gayatri is finally dead. But Gayatri finally gets up and so does Ranaji. King Rana reveals to Badi Rani Maa that he switched the bullets again after she put real bullets. Badi Rani Maa then calls her goons to kill Ranaji. She reveals that she suspected something could happen so she came prepared. But Rajmata intervenes the scene with her own guards who arrest Badi Rani Maa’s goons. Badi Rani Maa then removes a big gun from clothes and points it at King Rana’s face.

All hope seems to be lost until Swarnalekha and Lukhan throw a stick at Badi Rani Maa’s head, knocking her out. Badi Rani Maa and Rageshwari are sent to the dungeon. Happiness returns to the inhabitants of the palace as Lukhan and Swarna (Lakshyaraj’s wife) are getting married. But with the help of her son, Kunwar Chandravadan, The vengeful Badi Rani Maa comes to grace the occasion with a jungle man named Kaal. Kaal kills Ranaji during a faceoff. He also throws a knife at Swarnalekha (Swarna). As he tries to kill Gayatri by Badi Rani Maa’s orders, Lukhan saves Gayatri and they escape along with Rajmata from the palace. Later Swarna wakes up to find dead bodies everywhere including King Rana. Badi Rani Maa imprisons Swarna until she gives birth to Lukhan’s child.

Gayatri steals Ranaji’s body from the his burial conducted by the deceitful Badi Rani Maa. She then gives him a proper burial among the loyal men of Ameerkot. She then rescues her mother from Badi Rani Maa, who wishes to use her mother to get to Gayatri by threatening to hang the mother if Gayatri does not come in front of her. After  9 months , Gayatri gives birth to a baby girl. During these nine months, the women were trained by Rajmata to fight, since King Kaal had decreed that any pregnant woman should be killed in search of Gayatri. After giving birth to her child, she goes to the palace with her baby, Rajmata, Lukhan and her army to fight Badi Rani Maa and Kaal. Meanwhile, Kaal becomes the king of Ameerkot, supported by Queen grandmother (Badi Rani Maa) since she had a dream when Kaal threatened her to become the king of Ameerkot.Meanwhile, her son Kunwar Chandravadan was expecting to be the king. While Gayatri triumphs in finishing Kaal off and reclaiming the throne of Ameerkot, Badi Rani Maa goes to beg Gayatri, but Gayatri does not believe her.

She kicks her away. When the Queen grandmother regains consciousness, she tries to kill Gayatri’s baby who is tied to her (Gayatri’s) back, but stabs Gayatri instead. But before Gayatri falls down, she also leaves Badi Rani Maa with a gift. She renders her handicapped by cutting one of her hands with a sword. Kaal finishes off Gayatri and she dies, while Rajmata and the baby escape. Ranaji and Gayatri reunite in heaven.

Rajmata and the baby girl are met by Chandravadan who has orders from his mother, Badi Rani Maa to kill them. He then spares their lives as Rajmata is able to convince him that Queen grandmother (Badi Rani Maa) will never give him the throne. That she has given it to Kaal, an outsider instead of her own son. Rajmata, Lukhan, and the baby girl are in a vehicle to another place. They name the baby girl  Rani .

7 years later

India has gained independence and the British officials have left. Gayatri’s and Ranaji’s daughter, Rani, grows up under Rajmata’s care. She goes to the royal palace to work as a servant and befriends Raja, Jeevan, and Bindu. Raja and Jeevan are Kaal’s sons, and Bindu is Swarnalekha and Lakhan’s unaware daughter. Kaal has become the King. Badi Rani Maa gives Rani series of tests, such as to come down from a tall point, to play a game of snakes and ladders involving riddles at every ladder, and also the test in which Rani had to give away her salary so that the other servants can get their salary. All these test is because Rani challenged Badi Rani Maa to stop her injustice against the servants of the palace. Meanwhile, Rajmata sufferes from tuberculosis. When Badi Rani Maa realizes that she is losing her grip on Raja, she decides to play her old game – being nice in the front to her enemies, while backstabbing them in the back. Raja and Rani are separated during their childhood due to the plans of Badi Rani Maa. Raja is accused of terribly beating Jeevan (Rageshwari’s son).

Because of this, Kaal sends Raja to a boarding school, where he is maltreated. Rani leaves Amerkot along with Rajmata after the deaths of Lakhan and his love, Swarnalekha, as planned by Badi Rani Maa. She kills Lakhan with a knife and shoots Swarnalekha with a gun, as they are on their way to find Rajmata and Rana and Gayatri’s daughter – Rani, who Badi Rani Maa is unaware of her identity. Since Raja is in the hostel, Badi Rani Maa uses the opportunity to turn Raja against Kaal, saying that Kaal doesn’t want him to come home. Raja hates his father. He also hates Rani, as he believes that it is because of her he got sent to the boarding school. Badi Rani Maa also tells Bindu to be writing letters to Raja telling him how much she cares for him. She also tells Raja not to allow any girl like Rani to come into his life ever again.

Meanwhile, Rani and Rajmata are in another town. They work in a hospital. Rajmata then becomes seriously ill because the tuberculosis has spread all over her body. She then undergoes operation. She survives it and she lives together with Rani and a nurse from the hospital. Rani wonders when she will get the chance to meet Raja in order to clear up their misunderstanding.

10 years later.

Raja and Rani meet again in college. This time, when Raja meets Rani, he starts to create trouble for her as he believes that Rani was responsible for sending him to a boarding school. However, they gradually fall in love. On the day of their wedding, Raja finds out that Rani is Ranaji and Gayatri’s daughter, and they were murdered by Kaal and Badi Rani Maa, but they marry anyway. Raja imprisons Kaal and Badi Rani Maa dies while trying to kill Rani. Bindu is also arrested. Rani avenges her parents’ murders.

Some months later, Nawab Iqbal Khan enters their life bringing a new challenge for Raja and Rani. He accuses Raja of killing his fiancée Zahira. Later it is revealed that Jeevan was the one that killed Zahira. But only Jeeves/Jeevan (Raja’s brother) and Shusti (Raja’s college friend) knew about this secret, since they were the ones that buried the lady. They lied to Rani that no accident took place. Although Shusti wanted to tell the truth, he was threatened by Jeevan. Iqbal decides to punish Raja by shooting him at a cliff. Raja then falls down the cliff in Rani’s presence.

4 months later. Raja returns, saved by Bindu. He sees Rani and Iqbal together. It is then revealed that Rani is pretending to love Iqbal to avenge Raja’s death, unknowing that Raja is actually alive. Meanwhile, Raja seeks revenge from Rani and Iqbal, disguising himself as Angad, Bindu’s husband, but Rani recognizes him. Iqbal continues to plot against them, and Raja starts to hate Rani. Iqbal forces Rani to shoot Raja against her will. As Raja runs away from Iqbal’s goons, he survives as he is saved by a don. Raja begins illegal work for the don, in which he harms three police officers. Iqbal takes Rani along with him in his car to see the weak “Raja”.

They spot Raja near the ocean trying to kill himself with a gun. Rani takes the opportunity to cause an accident as she drags the steering wheel with Iqbal. Iqbal dies in the accident and Rani dies in a hospital. Raja falls in bad company and becomes associated with criminals, still believing Rani deceived him and unaware that she is dead.

10 years later Raja is now a don in Mumbai and starts to live with Laila, the daughter of another don. Naina, Rani’s look-a-like, is a junior artist in films and lives with her mother and sister. Raja thinks that Naina is Rani and starts to hate her. On the other hand, Vijay, a police officer, likes Naina. Raja learns that Rani is dead and that Naina is her look-alike but still dislikes her as she reminds him of Rani.

Gradually, his attitude towards Naina normalizes and a love triangle develops. On the day of his wedding to Laila, Raja calls it off. Laila blames Naina. Naina encounters Rani’s spirit that helps her prove to Raja that Rani was innocent and sacrificed herself to avenge him. Vijay tries to rape Naina and breaks her legs. Laila uses this to try and defame Naina but Raja marries Naina to protect her. Laila attacks Naina on several occasions but finally dies, as she is eaten by crocodiles in the water – a trap which she had set for Naina.

Raja thinks he’s getting a fresh start in life and starts to love Naina and takes her on a honeymoon to Goa. Here, he meets Rani’s spirit, who now becomes a ghost and has turned dark. Rani wants Raja to unite with her in the spirit world. Rani’s spirit is revealed to be controlled by Badi Rani Maa’s spirit.

All the inhabitants of the palace come to know of the return of Rani and Badi Rani Maa. Badi Rani Maa attacks the family of Priyamvada on several occasions, as she had told Rajmata that she wants to play with them for a few days before she kills them. Her attacks range from making Naina to dance, trying to turn Naina to stone, putting Vikrant (Laila’s younger brother) in a box, trying to kill Priyamvada, locking Naina in a bottle, etc. Priyamvada is able to rescue Rani from Badi Rani Maa spell, as she helps Rani to attain moshka (salvation), and Rani goes to the spirit world. Finally, with the help of the priest, they are able to trick Badi Rani Maa that Rajmata is dead, as Rajmata decided to lay down her life for Raja and Naina to be spared by Badi Rani Maa.

Raja tells Rajmata to leave for America in the morning, so that she can be safe. In the final episode of Badi Rani Maa’s attacks, she returns to the palace in the morning, infuriated how Rajmata put up a very great performance to trick her. As she tries to enter into the palace, she is unable because the priest told Rajmata and her family to tie a thread around the doors and windows of the palace. Queen grandmother still tries to get in but ends up losing her powers. She goes back to meet the witch doctor that brought her back to life to give her more power. She returns to the palace, and the thread can no longer stop her. This time, she wastes no time in executing her evil plans. She immediately disguises herself as Raja and leads Naina into a trap, where she stabs Naina in front of the real Raja. Then she also stabs Raja.

She makes Naina’s mother and Rekha (Naina’s sister) to hit their head on objects and fall down. Rajmata arrives at the scene to see Naina and Raja on the ground. Badi Rani Maa then makes Raja to strangle himself. The two die holding hands together. As Badi Rani Maa celebrates, she slips on Raja’s blood. She then remembers the words that the witch doctor told her that if an honest man’s blood touches her, she will lose all her powers. She still rejoices as she fades away. Rajmata cries as Raja and Naina are dead. She tries to kill herself with the same knife but the priest stops her. She tells the priest to bring them back but he says he cannot since he cannot decide one’s destiny. Rajmata tells him not to preach about God to her.

The priest tells Rajmata that Raja and Rani are destined to return to prove that nothing is more powerful than true love.

20 years later. Raja and Rani are reborn as Raj and Rani. Raj is appointed the security guard of Rani to her dislike. When her wedding is fixed to Kundan, she asks Raj to abduct her. Raj and Rani end up in Amerkot, and Rani feels a strange connection to the place. She finds Rani Gayatri’s diary and pursues Raj. Raj is then told to kill Rani to save his brother Dev who is being held captive by Rani’s aunt, Anandi. Raj explains his situation to Rani but doesn’t reveal Anandi’s identity.

At home, Rani fakes her marriage to Raj and saves both Raj and Dev. Anandi is revealed to have killed Rani’s father and is sent to prison. Rani agrees to marry Kundan, who wants her money and plans to leave her behind after marriage to live in London. Anandi is released and also wants Rani’s wealth.

Raj reveals Kundan’s intentions to Rani and her mother, who thank him. Rani and Raj fall in love, but her mother gives him three months to prove his love. Rani convinces Raj to visit Amerkot, where they find a painting of Raja and Rani and Badi Rani Maa. Rajmata reappears and tells them that this is their rebirth.

Badi Rani Maa (Queen Grandmother) returns to the palace once more. This time, she returns with darker magic. She now has minions, which attack Raj and Rani before she later reveals herself to them. She engages in a faceoff against Raj, Rani and the priest that told Rajmata about Raj and Rani’s rebirths. Everything goes well as the priest puts a shield around them to shield them from Badi Rani Maa’s attacks. Rajmata stands next to Badi Rani Maa and watches everything.

But things take an unexpected turn when Badi Rani Maa disarms the shield protecting them. She then throws a knife at the priest and a spear at Raj. Badi Rani Maa tells Rajmata that hatred still wins over love. As she tries to throw a spear at Rani, the priest wakes up, and the shield is established once more. Rajmata then sprinkles holy water on Badi Rani Maa, and she disappears. The priest dies while Raj is taken for medical attention.

Badi Rani Maa sends an arrow to Rani with a note telling her that the cure to a witch’s spell cannot be found easily, that if she wants witch medicine, then she must give something to her in return for Raja’s life. Rani and Priyamvada go to meet Badi Rani Maa. The Queen grandmother tells Rani to give her the holy water in exchange for Raj’s life. The Queen mother tells Rani not to do it, but she then accepts. When Rani gives the holy water to Badi Rani Maa, she (Badi Rani Maa) begins to laugh and breaks the bottle of holy water on the ground. Priyamvada falls to the ground. As Badi Rani Maa is making some chants, the Queen mother gets up immediately (meaning she was pretending) and brings out the real holy water which she had hidden in her clothes and begins to sprinkle it on the Queen grandmother. Rani then cuts Badi Rani Maa’s choti (plait/braid) i.e. her hair, totally killing her. Raj later recovers and they return to the palace.

After defeating Badi Rani Maa, Raj and Rani get married. Raj later discovers that it was Rani’s mother that made him and his mother’s lives miserable when he was young. He now decides to tell Rani all of this by showing Rani his home, mother and sister. He tells Rani that her mother was also responsible for his father’s death when he was a child. Raj then throws Rani off the cliff. Raj thinks he has won as he has property papers which he tricked Rani to sign as an insurance document, stating that all of Rani’s properties is his. But because of the rain storm, the signatures of Rani is cleaned from the property papers. Raj becomes sad. At the palace, Rani’s mother receives a phone call that Rani has been found. As they meet her, they realize that she has lost her memory. They try to bring Rani’s memory back. Rani brings Raj’s mother and sister to the palace. Rani finally regains her memory.

Later on, Rani gives birth to twins, but one of the twins was kidnapped by Vasundhara, a woman who is an enemy of Raj and Rani. Raj and Rani leave their other child Siddhi and set out on a journey to find the missing twin Riddhi. As Raj is driving the vehiche, Rani begins to lose hope as she tells Raj that it has been a day and they have not found Riddhi. Raj tells Rani that they will find the child. As Raj tries to convince Rani not to doubt, they engage in an argument. This results in their vehicle hitting a tree, which then explodes, killing them.

18 years later. 18 years later, Raj and Rani’s daughter Siddhi has become 18 years of age and is given a book with the title (Ek Tha Raja, Ek Thi Rani) as a birthday gift from her grandmother. Her twin sister, Riddhi, who is still alive, is shown with Vasundhara, the woman who kidnapped her when she was a baby. Riddhi is seen stealing money from a place and beating up a police officer. She sings happy birthday to herself as she walks away from the scene of the crime. She presents the money to Vasundhara. Meanwhile, Siddhi’s coronation as the Queen of Ameerkot then takes place in the palace. As the priest hands the staff to her, she rejects it and goes to her parents’ pictures and offers prayers to them. She decides that Ameerkot no longer needs a queen.

The story is too long with bad ending.

This zeeworld is really something else

What a waste of my time to watch such a boring movie, please the essence of a movie is to make it exciting, and also to teach us what life is all about. when u do wrong things u die a terrible death, but this movie is actually telling us that the evil people will always win, and this rubbish of bringing back the (same person dies wakes up after so many years) And you writers are always copying from each other eg. king of hearts, twist of fate, my heart knows, same arrangement. What rubbish. Please make movies with happy endings*

This is one of the worst movie storyline I’ve seen in my life. Such a total waste of time. I would rate this a -9/10 and discourage anyone from watching it at all. Why must all sZee world movies have the same reincarnation story and useless endings?

Johda and akbar is still the best serie so far… Must there be memory lost, rebirth and bad peoples always getting away with their evil deeds and the good ones are always the victim…I’m so fucking tired of watching zeeworld like how many 20 years leap in one movie .. the director of this movie deserves death by hanging

Exactly johda and akbar is still d best with Zarh’s nikah this movie is just like Gangga very sad no happy ending who knows maybe the writer is a sad person all these zee world movies are rubbish 🥱😑😑 is either they reincarnate or they loose their memory what rubbish it only in zee world that the main character will die 😒😒 😠 u people should change your story line or else u will loose a lot rubbish extraordinary stupid 😑

This movie is a total waste of time , what kind of movie is this? no moral lessons, after everything after all the long stories the movie did not still end well, I don’t know why these people keep on acting movie as if its kids that are watching it , as if its children that are watching with not adults, thank God I read it online now because assuming I finish watching this movie and I saw the all this , finally it did not end well I would have been really really really angry with myself for such a big mistake I made, rubbish movie please just remove this movie from zeeworld and bring another movie that we can enjoy, see how you people just spoilt this interesting movie I was watching and enjoying to a total nonsense…..😠😠😠😠

Once there was a king, is d worse story ever on zeeworld. The story is not straightforward!

It would be insane of me to watch that supid series nonsense.

This is getting too much, it’s boring already. Not interested in watching again

The series just so dumb….i mean who does that? Dumb storyline…. reincarnation every now and then, sick I actually started watching this movie from season 2 So, i had to know the summary of what actually transpired in season one to keep me up to date Then i come across this and I’m like I’m never gonna be watching this ever again

Seriously can’t u indians jus produce the right films w a perfect story line it’s like u guys don’t know how to write a perfect story. U produce trash n bullshit in the name of series how can a ghost jus keeps on cm n cmx back again and they keep on reboring pole 😒😒so boring yish

You people new to improve greatly, the fact that it is a series makes it enough suspense then you still add a full dose of suspense, then you make the bad people win for too long then in the end everything ends unreasonably makes many of us loose interest in Zee world. Didn’t learn any lesson.

What sort of storyline is this I won’t watch this once there was a king again it’s so annoying how one old woman be wrecking such a havock first she killed both ranaji and Gayatri leaving their daughter Rani and after which Rani died and was able to control Rani’s Spirit to cause trouble she also killed Naina and Raja what sort of rubbish is this

It made sense in the first season,but immediately after the king R nd Queen Gaytri’s death,it became trash.. next please

My heart knows should also end,those kiddish twists are everywhere and annoying

Once there was a king is trash right now

Bridal material has started to become annoying

Twist of fate is total trash,the sound,the break ups,the writer is always making Pragya look stupid. I hate it.

I am waiting for this is fate now

😂😂😂 I can assure you that This is fate will be no different from Twist of faith and Once there was a king

I totally agree bridal material has started become boring but once there was a king is now interesting to me.

Not 2 forget the look alike thingy.seriously should every movie HV a look alike?

Swearz, they will not kill us with memory loss, lookalike and killing someone by throwing them off a cliff

What kind of storyline is this, jodha Akbar is far better, I just wasting my time on zeeworld 🤧🤧🤧

African Magic Urban leaving Dstv by April 2024

Broken bonds eextra april 2024 teasers, breaking free on televista: full story, plot summary casts teasers.

According to Ruby's grandmother, like other Mermaids, she is vain, selfish, and narcissistic, which is easily seen even in her human form (wherein she has a persona of a dim-witted, selfish, and yet somewhat caring girl who feels just as detached from reality as Ruby does and dreams of peace between the krakens and mermaids.

The PSA promo states that Chelsea is a mermaid, and that they are "charming and peaceful creatures" at least to humans, however, they are actually described as violent, unpredictable, vain, and power-hungry narcissists.

Abilities [ ]

• Land-Water Adaptability: While on land, Nerissa grows a pair of human legs. While in water, her legs are replaced with a fish tail.
• Underwater Breathing: While in her mermaid form, Nerissa is capable of breathing underwater.
• Super Speed: Nerissa is shown to be able to move incredibly fast under water on par with Ruby.
• Agelessness: Nerissa looks like a teenager despite being at least as old as Agatha Gillman. She states that mermaids don't age.

Abilities with the Trident [ ]

When using the Trident, Nerissa takes on a more monstrous looking mermaid form that allows her to stand up to krakens.

• High Strength: Nerissa gains great strength proportionate to her size. This strength is enough to tackle krakens.

Gallery [ ]

• Her true name, "Nerissa", means "sea nymph" in Greek.
• Chelsea's design is most likely a reference to Ariel from The Little Mermaid , as they're both mermaids with red hair, blue eyes, and a turquoise tail. However, Ariel’s tail is greener.
• Chelsea is the tenth DreamWorks Animation female main antagonist, after Mrs. Tweedy from Chicken Run , Eris from Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas , Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2 , Chantel DuBois from Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted , Ms. Grunion from Mr. Peabody & Sherman , Chef from Trolls , Morgana from Trollhunters , Dr. Zara from Abominable , and Queen Barb from Trolls World Tour .
• Chelsea appears to be able to shapeshift to some degree, as she has a human form and a mermaid form which appear very different form her presumed true form.
• Chelsea has a lot of similarities to Ercole Visconti from the 2021 Disney•Pixar movie Luca .
• Relying on deception
• Trying to gain dominance by killing the protagonist
• Chelsea states mermaids don't age, so its likely she's the same age as Ruby's mother, Agatha Gillman , or possibly even Grandmamah .
• Both steal the trident by tricking the main protagonist.
• ”Van Der Zee” is faux-Dutch for “of the sea”, further foreshadowing that she is a mermaid.
• In one of these drafts, Chelsea was actually Nerissa's daughter and was taking revenge for her mother, who had been killed by Agatha Gillman . [2]
• A shot of her sternly wielding the trident also appears in the trailer but never in the final film.

(1942-2005)

Born in Bayonne, New Jersey, on April 23, 1942, Sandra Dee made a splash portraying ingénues in 1950s and 1960s teen films. The late 1960s found her career stumbling, however, and her highly publicized marriage to singer/actor Bobby Darin ended in 1967.

Sandra Dee was born Alexandra Zuck in Bayonne, New Jersey, on April 23, 1942. By age 12, she was a successful model, and she was just 14 when she was signed to her first film, Until They Sail (1957). In 1959, Dee hit box-office success with the beach movie Gidget and the young-love movie A Summer Place . The theme song from A Summer Place became a big hit, and the movie became a touchstone for many young people.

In 1960, Sandra Dee filmed Come September with pop idol Bobby Darin, and they married that same year. Although their marriage remained a secret for years, the couple appeared together in If a Man Answers (1962) and That Funny Feeling (1965). From 1960 through 1963, Dee was one of Hollywood’s top moneymakers, peaking in 1961, the year she took over the role of Tambrey “Tammy” Tyree from Debbie Reynolds, for whom the character was created in 1957’s Tammy and the Bachelor . Dee appeared in two “Tammy” films, but her portrayal of the character never caught on with audiences. Dee appeared in only six other films in the 1960s, and her 1967 divorce from Bobby Darin also marked the end of her short-lived stardom.

The 1970s and 1980s

Sandra Dee found herself a divorcee in 1967, and the landscape of Hollywood films had also changed: Audiences no longer lined up to see the sugary-sweet fare that made her a star in the early 1960s. Dee appeared in only one (verifiable) big-screen film in the 1970s, The Dunwich Horror (1970), although she starred in four made-for-TV movies. In the 1970s, she played roles on various TV series, such as Night Gallery ; Love, American Style ; and Fantasy Island . In 1983, she appeared again on Fantasy Island and in her final film, Lost .

Personal Life

Sandra Dee and Bobby Darin had one child together, Dodd Mitchell Darin. Dodd Mitchell later penned a book about his parents, Dream Lovers: The Magnificent Shattered Lives of Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee , in which he chronicled his mother's anorexia, her drug and alcohol problems, and the sexual abuse Dee suffered as a child.

Six years after their divorce, in 1973, Bobby Darin died. Sandra Dee died from complications from kidney disease in February 2005 in Thousand Oaks, California.
