Kangana Ranaut’s solid performance keeps the film watchable, but Simran is ultimately an exhausting film.

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

However, all of it seems so self-indulgent that neither the film nor the protagonist is successful in making the audience empathise or identify with her.

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

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

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. She spreads her wings like the tiny butterflies in her stomach and flies, but Simran does not take off.

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

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 like his previous SHAHID and ALIGARH which were based on characters from real life but this time in order to turn a bit quirky it turned murky resulting in a lost bet.

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.
