It's been a week since Kangana Ranaut's film Simran has been released and reactions for the film have been pretty much mixed. However no one denied that Kangana Ranaut has yet again given a bravura performance. Simran is a different story with a flawed character in central. If reports suggest, it was initially planned as a dark thriller and was to be narrated as a biopic of Sandeep Kaur who was known as the 'Bombshell Bandit'. But later after much creative decisions, the tone of the film was changed into light - hearted and entertaining. While Simran may not set the box office fire like 'Queen'. it is certainly not that bad either. Most of the media houses are seen busy in writing off the film as a flop ignoring all the accolades and appreciation the film got in one whole week.
Hansal Mehta recently in an Interview questioned the media and asking them why did they ask Kangana about her personal life only at the time of her release? Why questions were not directed towards the film for which she went out to promote? He does have a valid point. Kangana is a fierce person who holds no grounds and really straight forward when giving answer to questions. When she answers, the controversies are raised. Since media's job is to sensationalize no one can ever question it about its functionality. What people say that Kangana went out in a talk show and spoke on the matter. Yet it also needs to be noticed why the host of the talk show only invited her at the time of her film's release? Kangana in a statement had said that she did not want to go to that particular talk show despite several invitations in the past. But the producers of Simran asked her to do so. Most of the actors Whether its Aamir Khan, Salman Khan have visited the talk show at the time of their releases but only Kangana was accused for getting publicity out of the talk show? Well who and what is to blame?
Kangana Ranaut is already established, her name is enough to get the film better publicity. The makers were smart enough to keep the cost and budget of Simran in control so the recoveries can easily be made and only profits should pour in from theaters. The film has now entered in the second week and expected to add few more crores before it winds up. All in all despite media's propaganda against the film, it is holding well. Lots of media sources are obsessed on the fact that Kangana purposely ran into controversies to give the film a healthy run. But everyone knew from the promos and trailer that Simran would only appeal to limited audiences because of its nature. The obsession is failing not the film or the actress.
Rangoon was indeed a terrible failure. Despite so much appreciation for Kangana's performance the film sank without a trace. The accused here was the mammoth budget which was quite risky for a period film. But Simran was indeed a safe bet for Kangana and a perfect comeback. One can safely saw that she might easily take all awards home unless someone really topples her with a strong performance at this end of this year which is very unlikely. One can not really say in what department of success 'Simran' would end up to. But one can safely say that this is one of the best films to come out of Bollywood. We will wait for another one Mr Hansal and Ms Ranaut.
