Simran Reviews

Ranaut and a few clever lines keep the film watchable, until the third act where the script sadistically starts piling misfortune on the character to ratchet up the dramatic tension.

Based loosely on the story of the Bombshell Bandit - Punjabi girl Sandeep Kaur, Simran could either be a great comic caper or a tragic story of greed gone wrong. It's neither.

Hansal Mehtas cleverly titled new film Simran, starring Kangana Ranaut, has that rarest of things thats practically gone missing from the movies lately a compelling story at its core.

Simran is not a bad film but having no coherence of its genre, it might fall. It is certainly a one time watch.

Kangana's Queen made you want to fly to Amsterdam right from the theatre. There is nothing that you want to do after Simran, save go back home. Watch the film if you swear by Kangana Ranaut.

Overall, this frothy entertainer Simran is a film Kangana carries squarely on her shoulders and makes the most slipshod scenes look endearing. Watch it only for Kangana Ranaut.

Simran has come to theatres following an ugly controversy over its writing credits. The final rolls read: story, screenplay and dialogues — Apurva Asrani, additional story and dialogues — Kangana Ranaut.

Kangana mostly does a fine job of bringing the character to life but at times goes overboard while portraying the antics of Praful.

As the idea behind the title of this film SIMRAN demands an extra dose of patience, tolerance and imagination, Hansal Mehta had an interesting badass women robber - the bombshell bandit to churn into an intriguing piece of cinema…

Overall, 'Simran' is sunny but lacks the emotional heft and gravitas that would have placed it in a higher league.

An out and out Kangana Ranaut movie falters when it comes to using logic in the script.

Pinkvilla Buzz is built for the way India watches entertainment today: fast, social, vertical, and impossible to stop scrolling.

Though it is clearly a one-woman film, the film hangs together with the help of its supporting actors who do their job contributing additional desi flavour like Praful's MCP, hot-tempered father (Hiten Shah) who treats his grown…

Go and watch this film for Kangana Ranaut's yet another stellar performance. This film also proves one more thing – there never could be a best for Kangana as she's unstoppable. Hansal Mehta! Thank you for Simran.

The struggle of Indian parents and children in America to be both American and Indian at the same time isn't new. But put together, they make the film a rich experience that cannot be slotted into one genre.

The National Award winner does a great job as a self-destructive rebel, but the storyline is flawed

Hansal Mehta, known for his critically acclaimed films like ‘Shahid’ and ‘Citylights’ handles the subject with care and doesn’t glorify the character.

The first half of the movie casts a spell as you travel with Praful on her misadventures. In the second half, Mehta falls for the usual traps. But there’s more reason to celebrate Simran than diss it.

Frankly, you can’t emotionally invest in Simran or root for her as much as you might want to. But when you watch the film, you will find yourself warming up to her occasionally, because she’s all you’ve got.

But the plot gets into a loop, and her slide into another avatar €” the gambler and thief becomes tiresome. Kangana keeps us watching, though.

On the whole, Simran is a poor show and will be rejected by the majority.
