The film, starring Ranveer as a corrupt cop and Sara Ali Khan as his love interest, opened to mixed reviews, but seems to have hit home with the masses.
Directed by Rohit Shetty and co-produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Simmba revolves around Sangram Bhalerao who becomes a crusader of women’s safety after a girl he treats as his younger sister gets raped.
Rating the film 2.5/5, CNN-News18’s film critic Rajeev Masand wrote in his review, “'Simmba', a remake of the Telugu blockbuster 'Temper', is ultimately one part 'Dabangg', one part 'Singham', and many parts frustrating old-fashioned '80s melodrama. The best thing about the film is the conviction Ranveer Singh brings to it. He fills out the khaki uniform nicely, delivering both punches and punch lines with feeling. Even in the less satisfying second half, he breaks tense moments with an irreverence that’ll make you cheer."
