Watch Simran teaser: Kangana Ranaut of Queen, Tanu Weds Manu is back. Will there be a twist in the tale?

Simran teaser: Kangana Ranaut returns as a flamboyant, spunky girl and we like what we see. But is there a dark story hiding there somewhere?

Comparisons can be irritating. Comparisons, at times, can also give perspective. Kangana Ranaut believes in defying them but as the first teaser of her film Simran, directed by Hansal Mehta, lands, it is hard to miss the Tanu Weds Manu vibes. Here’s the first impression you have after watching Simran teaser: 

Kangana plays a young woman who is carefree, spunky and ready to break a few social norms. We say vibes because Hansal and Kangana are keeping their film a mystery. Even the first teaser of Simran — one minute in length — has no dialogue and no major plot reveal. Instead, it is smartly crafted to focus on the mood of Kangana’s characters. Hansal couldn’t have chosen more wisely.

Kangana can carry a film on her shoulders so a 1-minute teaser of Simran is a breeze for her. Kangana laughs and she pouts, Kangana tries wigs — actually a lot of them — and she struts and she falls. Kangana dances and she enjoys those moments of complete peace. But if one looks closely, there are certain moments which show that this might be the story of an Indian woman Sandeep Kaur who was arrested in the US for bank heists. She was trying to pay off her debts by robbing banks. Sandeep earned the sobriquet of ‘bombshell bandit’ due to her glamorous wigs and sunglasses she wore while robbing banks. Kangana plays a housekeeper who is overjoyed about reaching the US, we see her trying various garbs and trying to hide her identity. 

However, neither Kangana nor Hansal have revealed what the film is truly about.

The teaser also gives us a glimpse of Sohum Shah who plays Kangana’s love interest. He is the one sitting behind Kangana as she erupts into laughter after spotting him. Sharing the teaser, Hansal mehta wrote, “It’s Monday and she will give you many reasons to smile. Here is the #Simran teaser. #SmileWithSimran #Simran.”

Earlier, the Aligarh director also shared the first look of Simran, “Here we are – The First poster of #Simran… with
#KanganaRanaut as Praful Patel aka Simran.” Simran’s tagline reads, “Meet the Moneyben from America on September 15.” Simran is the first collaboration of Kangana and Hansal Mehta. The movie will release on September 15.
