Simmba

Sangram Bhalerao, known as Simmba, grows up as an orphan in Shivgad and joins the police because he wants money and power. He becomes a corrupt inspector who takes bribes, protects criminals, and helps a local crime boss after he is sent to a police station in Miramar, Goa. He jokes with his fellow officers, flirts with Shagun, and builds a brother-like bond with Aakruti, a medical student who teaches poor children at night. The first half is a loud mix of songs, romance, comedy, and flashy fights, while an honest constable watches Simmba abuse his badge.

The story changes when Aakruti discovers that the crime boss's brothers use children to move drugs. She records proof, but they catch, rape, and leave her dying. Her death forces Simmba to reject his corrupt life, put on his uniform, return stolen land, and arrest the brothers. The second half adds speeches about rape numbers in India, the 2012 Delhi gang rape, women's safety, and men who do not respect women. When the court case fails, Simmba stages a fake encounter and the film treats his violent revenge as the answer, so its message about women stays tied to a male hero rather than women leading the story.
