The mass entertainer performed strongly mainly in Maharashtra but did very well all over the country on Tuesday, according to Box Office India. The action drama had an impressive start at the box office on its opening day, the flick became Ranveer's highest opener. His earlier period drama film Padmaavat had managed to mint Rs 19 crore on its first day.
The film has an added advantage as there are no big releases this weekend. Two major movies including, Uri and The Accidental Prime Minister are releasing on January 11.
Simmba is Sara's second Bollywood movie after she made her debut with Abhishek Kapoor's Kedarnath on December 7, 2018. Apart from Ranveer and Sara, the movie also stars Sonu Sood, who portrays the role of the antagonist in the cop drama and Ajay Devgn who has a cameo in Simmba. The flick is a remake of 2015 Telugu blockbuster Temper.
Directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Karan Johar, the movie is a solid, well-packaged entertainer with a powerful message.
