The movie 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 unsavory between the two men.
Simmba is Sara’s second Bollywood movie after she made her debut with Abhishek Kapoor’s Kedarnath on December 7, 2018. Apart from Ranveer and Sara, the movie also stars Sonu Sood, who portrays the role of the antagonist in the cop drama and Ajay Devgn who has a cameo in Simmba.
Directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Karan Johar, the movie is a solid, well-packaged entertainer with a powerful message.
