Simmba Box Office Collection Day 1: Ranveer Singh-Sara Ali Khan's film concludes 2018 with a roar

Ranveer Singh and Sara Ali Khan's Simmba started its journey with a storm at the box office. With the help of Rohit Shetty's lucky charm, Ajay Devgn, who appears in a cameo role, Simmba managed to earn Rs 22 crore at the domestic box office. 2018's last Bollywood release has finally provided moviegoers with a masala entertainment in the form of this Ranveer Singh-starrer Singham spin-off, following disasters like Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan and Shah Rukh Khan's Zero.

Rohit Shetty has the highest number movies in the Rs 100 crore club and from the looks of it, Ranveer Singh-Sara Ali Khan's Simmba is going to add another name to the list. Simmba was promoted as the spin-off of Ajay Devgn's blockbuster hit 2011, Singham. Ajay Devgn has reprised the role of Bajirao Singham, along with Ranveer Singh's Sangram Bhalerao. Additionally, with the audience's falling interest in Shah Rukh Khan's Zero, Simmba has managed to grab the opportunity.

Rohit Shetty's Simmba is also getting positive response from overseas audiences. Simmba grossed Australian $ 180,253 in Australia on its first day. In Dubai, Ranveer Singh's Simmba was released a day earlier and received a great audience reaction. This helped Simmba gain a boost in its pre-booking at the domestic theatres. Simmba had collected around Rs 8 crore through its advance booking. Simmba saw huge occupancy across theatres on its second half of the day.
