Simmba box office day 5: Ranveer Singh’s film to cross ₹100 cr mark today; here are all ₹100 cr films of 2018

Simmba box office collection: The Ranveer Singh, Rohit Shetty film is all set to become the 13th film of 2018 to cross the ₹100 crore mark at the box office. Here are the other 12.

Ranveer Singh’s action drama, Simmba, is all set to cross the coveted ₹100 crore mark at the box office on Tuesday, after five days of release. The film’s domestic total stands at a strong ₹96 crore, while it has already made more than ₹100 crore worldwide.

Simmba box office day 5: Ranveer Singh starrer is expected to enter ₹100 crore club today.

According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Simmba’s box office collection “will continue its victory march today.” He wrote on Twitter that the film has done ‘superb’ business on Monday - considered an acid test - and is on track to cross the ₹100 crore mark. This will make Simmba the 13th film of the year to achieve the milestone. Taran, however, noted that the ₹100 crore benchmark ‘is no longer the yardstick to gauge the success of a film’.

Simmba’s success comes on the heels of two back-to-back big-budget disappointments, starring major stars. Both Aamir Khan’s action adventure, Thugs of Hindostan, and Shah Rukh Khan’s romantic drama, Zero, failed to capture the audience’s affections.

Simmba is directed by Rohit Shetty, known for making commercially viable ‘entertainers’. It continues the director’s streak of box office hits, which include his Golmaal films and the Singham duology (in whose universe Simmba exists). Shetty’s previous hit was the SRK-starrer Chennai Express.
