Lucknow Central and Simran are on the screens now. Talking about the movies, both of them are small budget movie and can be a saviour for both Farhan and Kangana as their career are getting down after respective flops in recent years.
Farhan Akhtar-starrer Lucknow Central , directed by Ranjit Tiwari, leans more towards sentimentality than sagacity for a prison drama, says Firstpost . Tiwari’s handling of the jail scenes are commendable even if the climax is a little contrived. And while this jailhouse rock-on see-saws between musical drama and message movie, its origins in a true story (about a real-life prison band called Healing Hearts ) and its notation on the merits of reformation give it soul.
Koimoi.com recommends the film for its innovative script and stellar performances by the lead actors. While Tiwari tries his best to establish the film’s premise and characters in the first half itself, there are many places where the film seems to revolve around a single track and takes too long to arrive at the point. The second half, however, turns out to be a treat, soon after the film finds ground, it gathers pace which continues till the end.
Kangana Ranaut-starrer Simran , directed by Hansal Mehta, careens between an American indie-style portrait of a middle-class woman’s descent into crime and a screwball comedy involving a bank robber, says Scroll.in . The film is brimming with tributes to its female lead, giving her scene after scene to prove her comic timing (not always spot on), her ability to evoke pathos (not always convincing) and her skill at switching registers in a matter of seconds (not always successful). The bubbly goes flat very fast for Simran, as does the movie for Mehta and Ranaut.
