On the other hand, Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor's Padmaavat, which released earlier this year, had grossed Rs 19 crore on the day of its release. Ranveer Singh's previous big opening movies are Ali Abbas Zafar's Gunday, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela and Bajirao Mastani.

Simmba, released on December 28, is Sara Ali Khan's second movie after Kedarnath. The film is an official remake of the 2015 Telugu hit Temper. The movie revolves around a dishonest cop, Sangram Bhalerao, played by Ranveer, who falls in love with Shagun, played by Sara Ali Khan, who works as a caterer near his police station. Sangram's life is turned upside down when a 19-year-old student, who he considers as his sister, gets brutally raped and killed.

Simmba was advertised as a spin-off of Ajay Devgn's Singham series. Rohit Shetty and Karan Johar have produced Simmba under the banner of Rohit Shetty Picturez and Dharma Productions. Apart from Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan, Simmba's cast includes Akshay Kumar and the lead actors of Rohit Shetty's Golmaal series Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi and Shreyas Talpade in special appearances.
