Rohit Shetty’s police drama “Simmba” has reportedly made $8.9 million over its opening weekend, according to figures released by its producers. The official remake of the Telugu hit “Temper” stars Ranveer Singh as rule-breaking police inspector Sangram Bhalerao who takes down a pair of rapists. Also starring Sara Ali Khan and Sonu Sood, the collaboration between Rohit Shetty Picturez, Reliance Entertainment and Dharma Productions was released on December 28 on an estimated 4,020 screens in India.
The three-day collection of “Simmba” is only a little less than what the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer “Zero” has earned since its release on December 21. Aanand L Rai’s romantic comedy was released on over 4,000 screens in India, and has made an estimated $9.9 million till date.
In its fourth week, “Kedarnath,” starring Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput, has notched up $7.7 million, according to trade sources. The net box office figures for the Hindi dubbed version of “KGF” are estimated to be $2.9 million.
