Simmba box office day 6: Ranveer Singh registers his biggest opening week, film makes Rs 139 cr

Director Rohit Shetty and star Ranveer Singh are on pace to register their biggest opening week numbers with Simmba box office collection, which has made Rs 139 crore in India in six days of release.

Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty’s Simmba has made an estimated Rs 14 crore on Wednesday, taking its domestic box office collection to Rs 139 crore in six days. The masala actioner is within touching distance of crossing the Rs 150 crore mark in one week of release.

Simmba box office collection stands at Rs 139 crore; the Ranveer Singh film released Friday.

Film trade analyst tweeted Wednesday’s collections and the total amount made at the box office. “#Simmba is a SMASH HIT... Continues to collect in double digits, even after New Year celebrations have ended... This one is not slowing down soon... Fri 20.72 cr, Sat 23.33 cr, Sun 31.06 cr, Mon 21.24 cr, Tue 28.19 cr, Wed 14.49 cr. Total: Rs 139.03 cr. India biz,” he wrote in his tweet.

The film has already become director Rohit Shetty’s eighth Rs 100 crore hit in a row, making him the only Bollywood filmmaker to achieve this distinction. It is also Ranveer’s biggest solo movie - his other big hits include Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani. This is both Ranveer and Rohit’s biggest opening week, as well, and the second biggest opening week for a film released in 2018, following Ranbir Kapoor’s Sanju.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh recently tweeted that the film’s overseas numbers have crossed the Rs 50 crore mark, taking its worldwide total to at least Rs 188 crore.

Awarding it three out of five stars, the Hindustan Times review praised the film as ‘Shetty’s best work, a film of unflagging tempo with a genuinely charismatic lead.’ Simmba also stars Sonu Sood and Sara Ali Khan. Ranveer will next be seen in director Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy, set in Mumbai’s emerging rap scene. The film also stars Alia Bhatt and will be released on February 14.
