Rami Malek essays the role of late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury and while Malek was praised for his portrayal, the film had mixed reviews from the critics who felt that it did not do complete justice with Mercurys life. Besides, he is also nominated for a Golden Globe.
Bohemian Rhapsody also had a turbulent production to screen transition as director Brian Singer was fired just before the shooting completed, though he retained the credit.

The films success, in part, has also made the song Bohemian Rhapsody the most-streamed track of the twentieth century.
The song overtook the likes of Nirvanas “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” and Guns N Roses “Sweet Child OMine,” and is now also the most streamed classic rock song of all time, record company Universal Music Group said in a statement earlier.
