It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This is by far the worst film I've seen this year. I was very disappointed with Kangana's performance in this awful movie. No story, no direction, aimless film. Nothing makes sense. I walked away from it several times because it was too painful to watch. This was a waste of talent for all involved.

I am glad I watched this movie on Amazon, at least I had the fast forward option. The acting is cringe worthy, the scenes are abysmal, the story is, well, not a story.First, if talk about the genre, its not comedy, it's not romance, it's bad B-grade drama. The trailer and the actor made it seem like a feminist movie. That is correct if you consider a woman making bad life choices rejecting help from a nice man feminist.The story is about a woman with no sense of finance who loses all her money gambling. She loans a lot of money form the loan sharks and ends up losing that too.The story is about her awfully unrealistic struggle to pay them back.The script lacks depth, believe me not even a mm worth of depth. The movie tried to touch a lot of different topics, Indian woman divorcée, Indian bride having second thoughts, a Muslim friend who is against terrorism, typical Indian parents and their parenting measures, arranged marriages, Gujarati wedding song, some parts of the movie "Queen" where Kangana has fun on foreign land, promotion of contraception, gambling problems, loan sharks and their meanness, and so on and so forth. But the script didn't stick with any of the topics long enough to make actual impact.The scenes have no continuation whatsoever. The mood of the movie was ever changing, it literally gave me a headache to keep up with that. I am not even going to say that the best part of the movie is when it ended, because even the ending was a disaster. It left me so unsettled that I had to create the IMDb account and just write it away. Also, I might have to go on a cleanse movie binge watching Shoojit Sarkar.No wonder the woman had to do all those interviews, the marketing was the only thing that could bring some money back into the bad investment that was this movie.

I walked into the movie theatre with no preconceived idea of the movie. The ticket was just 90 bucks and it had Kangana as the lead. How bad could it be? Very Very Very bad.It is very easy to shake of a bad 'commercial' star film. Almost all of them are bad and no one really takes them seriously. However , it is much more frustrating to watch an amazing performer like Kangana get caught in an awful script which she apparently wrote herself!The movie starts of very nicely. Watching an independent , hardworking NRI woman let her hair loose in Vegas was immensely fun. If the film had followed that path of her balancing work and play we would have all had a good time.The films plot goes awry when our heroine loses all her money to gambling and ends up owing money to a shady gangster type person. Instead of trying to work for it or report to the police about the goondagiri of the moneylenders she decides to coerce her father to give money. When doesn't work out she plans to rob a bank acting like she is carrying explosives.Read more in my review here:- https://assortedboxblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/29/oye-simran-arey- kingsman/

Ever since DDLJ released sometime in end'1995, the name Simran has been synonymous with a woman who wants to be unconventional, a woman who wants to break free & live blissfully. "Ja Simran Ja" has been the most preferred word for girls who want to be freed from the social disgrace. Those who know Kangana will agree to me that she is one among those Simran in the scintillating showbiz; daring, impenitent and sizzling.Simran or Praful Patel is the real narrative of a Punjabi girl from US Sandeep Kaur who robbed several banks of US over a period of two months. She was rechristened as "Bombshell Bandit" by FBI. She used to surf YouTube videos to find inimitable ways to rob banks. Her modus operandi was very simple. She used to walk in to the bank, pass on a hastily written note that read; "TICK TOCK. I HAVE A BOMB." Currently she is serving her jail terms in the Iron County Jail in Cedar City, Utah while selling the rights of the movie for $50,000.The movie has been a little twisted to hold on to Indian sentiments. Praful Patel is a 30 something divorcée living in Atlanta who is leading a very complex life. Her character has been so well defined and written – a divorcée, job, complicated family life, and over everything else, she is ambitious. She has her own imperfections and admits to them too. She is weird & has been trying her best to make her life perfect but in vein. Simran is not the Queen you saw in 2014, she is neither the Manu you saw in 2015, she is one woman who wants to live life in her own terms without being nagged for marriage or other trivial things.The best thing about Simran is that Kangana is endearing as the lively Praful, has no guilty conscience about drinking and walking down to a man in the bar and starting up picky lines like 'Are you tired? Because you are running in my mind' or telling off impending bed partners off with 'You are a cute guy, but not a decent guy. No protection, no sex, my friend.' She lives life in her own terms and rules. She jumps into any kind of escapade without thinking of the consequences.Since last few years, various directors have churned out women oriented movies like Pink, Mardani, Akira, Parched, Noor, Anarkali of Arrah, Indu Sarkar, and now it is Simran from Hanslal Mehta. Even though there is no supporting star cast to give her a stand, Kangana makes us watch her; with her plain stark face, she comes across as a genuine, solid woman; someone you can identify with. The movie might not have been a runaway success but Kangana shines all the way through.biswajittripathy.wordpress.com/2017/09/22/296/
