Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who has been following the business of Simba, shared its fresh box-office figures on Thursday.
Simba, that also stars Sara Ali Khan and Sonu Sood in key roles, has now surpassed the lifetime collections of Badhaai Ho (Rs 137.59 crore) and Stree (Rs 129.90 crore) to become the sixth highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. Now, it is only behind films Sanju, Padmaavat, Race 3, Baaghi 2 and Thugs of Hindostan.
Simba is a bona fide hit globally, it has set off fireworks at the domestic box-office.
