Directed by Hansal Mehta, Simran casts Kangana Ranaut as a Gujarati character named Praful Patel, who actually earns her living as a housekeeping stuff but later, also doubles up as a bank robber.

In his review for NDTV, Raja Sen writes: "Hansal Mehta's Simran works best when breezing along with a light touch, when Ranaut effervescently befriends bartenders and cheerily refuses to take no for an answer. Unfortunately the film, doubling up as a showreel for the actress, pretends also to be a drama, a thriller, even a sweet romance. None of these other gears work well enough, and the eventual result is tedious."

Simran is Kangana Ranaut's second film this year after war drama Rangoon, in which she co-starred with Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor.
