‘Simmba’ is on its alone in the theatres with just one Hollywood film ‘Bumblebee’ in the competition but the latter has already proved that it is nothing to be worried about. ‘Bumblebee’ has not collected well at the BO.
According to Box Office India ‘Simmba’ is a BlockBuster as it has emerged as the third biggest HIT of 2018 within ten days, after ‘Sanju’ and ‘Padmaavat’. Ranveer Singh has two of the three biggest blockbusters of 2018 and this is the first time that Khans are nowhere in the top three films since 1992. It should be also noted that the top films are given by three biggest directors Rajkumar Hirani, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and Rohit Shetty in the Hindi film industry today.
