Simran box office collection Day 1: Kangana Ranaut’s film earns Rs 2.77 cr

‘Simran’ box office collection day 1: Kangana Ranaut manages to shine amid mixed reviews.

You may or may not like ‘Simran’ but you definitely cannot miss what Kangana Ranaut has to offer since she has the potential to hold your attention when she is on screen. The film received mixed reviews but our very own Kangana manages to shine. The theatres had witnessed only a 10 percent occupancy on Friday morning. “Early trends …. 10% start in early shows to both #Simran & #LucknowCentral,” tweeted trade analyst Girish Johar. However, Simran has earned as much as Rs 2.77 crore on its opening day.

The success of the Kangana Ranaut film now depends on a good word-of-mouth.

#Simran witnessed growth at plexes of metros… Fri ₹ 2.77 cr. India biz.

A new Friday… But the story remains the same… New film releases open [morning + noon shows] to dull response.

Kangana Ranaut recently made headlines again for opening up about her relationship with Hrithik Roshan on the television show ‘Aap Ki Adalat’. Was this a publicity stunt by Kangana to promote her film?

We asked Girish Johar if the controversies surrounding Kangana will help the film to succeed.”I believe only the content of a film can help a film to survive. Controversies just increase the awareness of the films,” he explained.

Talking Kangana’s abilities and Simran’s content, Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta said,”Kangana Ranaut keeps us watching. With her plain varnished face, she comes across as a real, solid, complex woman, someone you can reach out and touch. When she’s on the top of her game, she’s glorious. Pity the storyline let’s her down.”
