Simmba May 2026

His chemistry with the script is far better than with his leading lady. Sara Ali Khan, in her second film, looks pretty and performs adequately, but she is reduced to a stereotypical "dulhania" who exists to motivate the hero’s revenge.

★★★☆☆ (3/5) – A high-octane, flawed, yet wildly entertaining masala film that runs on Ranveer Singh’s infectious energy and Rohit Shetty’s unapologetic love for the illogical. Aala re aala! Simmba

The second half of the film becomes a classic cat-and-mouse game, culminating in a brutal climax where Simmba throws away his badge and takes the law into his own hands—publicly beating and hanging the villain. This is where the film’s social messaging (the #MeToo and justice-for-women narrative) collides spectacularly with Rohit Shetty’s signature "enter nahi, dhamaka" philosophy. If Simmba works, it is almost entirely because of Ranveer Singh . The actor, known for his chameleon-like transformations, plays Simmba as a manic, loud-mouthed, Marathi mulga with a heart of gold buried under layers of greed. Singh’s performance is a masterclass in controlled chaos. He shifts from laugh-out-loud funny (the "Aala re Aala Simmba" entry sequence is iconic) to seething, silent rage with astonishing ease. His chemistry with the script is far better
