‘Queen’ (2013)

After the success of ‘Tanu Weds Manu’, the industry saw Kangana in new light which resulted in heroine-centric ‘Queen’, directed by Vikas Bahl. Story of a simple girl from a small town who goes on self-exploration journey after a broken engagement, connected with the viewers on all aspect. Kangana as ‘Rani’ was very much convincing.

‘Rangoon’ (2017)

Kangana was showcased in a different avatar in Vishal Bhardwaj’s epic romance ‘Rangoon’ opposite Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan.

‘Simran’ (2017)

Hansal Mehta’s heist drama saw Kangana in the title role of ‘Simran’. Kangana’s ‘Simran’ opts for some unusual options which give a comic tinge to otherwise serious situations.
