Simmba is being hailed as a success. While most are appreciating one half of the film over the other, Ranveer Singh's performance is being appreciated across the board. Sara Ali Khan plays Ranveer's love interest in the film.

Simmba is also Ranveer's biggest opening day collection by far with a close second from Padmaavat, which earned Rs 19 crore.
