Additionally, till Wednesday Simmba had made Rs 55.06 crore in the overseas box office, taking the collection to more than Rs 200 crore worldwide. According to Adarsh, Simmba has performed very well in USA-Canada, UAE-GCC and Australia. In fact, apart from Padmaavat, Sanju and 2.0, Simmba became the fourth Indian movie to earn Australian $1 million, that too in seven days.
Remake of Telugu hit, Temper, Simmba revolves around the life of a corrupt cop, Sangram Bhalerao who is transferred to Miramar Police Station in Goa - turf of drug lord Durva Ranade, played by Sonu Sood. As a man of no principles, Bhalerao gets enlisted by Ranade to run his turf smoothly. However, when medical student Akruti Dave, Bhalerao's assumed sister, is raped and murdered, things turn unsavoury between the two men.
