Simran is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language heist drama film directed by Hansal Mehta in a screenplay written by Apurva Asrani. Loosely based on the real- life story of Sandeep Kaur, the film stars Kangana Ranaut as Praful Patel, a divorcee, who loses her savings in a gambling bout. She takes a loan in order to repair the damage but when she is unable to repay it, she finds herself drawn into a life of crime.[4][5] Hiten Kumar, Kishori Shahane and Sohum Shah are featured in supporting roles.[6]
Simran was released worldwide on 15 September 2017. The film was met with generally positive reviews from the film critics; Ranaut's performance was widely praised, though the film drew some mixed reviews and criticism for its screenplay and execution.[7][8][9][10][11] Critics like Baradwaj Rangan and Stutee Ghosh listed Ranaut as the Best Actress of the year 2017 for her performance in Simran.[12] It became a commercial failure grossing ₹27.25 crore globally against the budget of ₹28 crore.[2] The film was deemed a box office disappointment owing to Ranaut's star power. For her performance, Ranaut received a nomination for the Screen Award for Best Actress.
