Kangana Ranaut's 'Simran'. Both the films have had an average opening at the ticket windows and experts predict that the collections may improve because of good word of mouth and positive reviews.
The plot of the film revolves around Kishan Girhotra (Farhan) whose dreams of becoming a singer are shattered when he is falsely accused of murdering an IAS officer in Muradabad. Pronounced guilty, he is jailed for the crime he never committed.

Diana Penty) become his voice and the wind beneath his wings.
