Salaar box office collection day 12 early report: Prabhas film likely to slow down.
Prabhas ended 2023 on a high note with his blockbuster film Salaar, which continued its impressive run into 2024. Released on December 22, Salaar witnessed a surge in box office collections on January 1. According to an early report by Sacnilk, posted at 7 pm, Salaar minted Rs 3.78 crore on Tuesday, bringing the domestic collection to Rs 365.4 crore.
The film made a spectacular start, earning Rs 90.7 crore on its opening day and maintaining a strong hold for the initial three days. Despite a subsequent decline during the first week, Salaar showed momentum during the New Year holiday, registering growth on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday with collections of Rs 12.55 crore, Rs 15.1 crore, and Rs 16.35 crore, respectively.
Globally, Salaar has grossed Rs 625 crore, surpassing Vijay’s Leo collection of Rs 605 crore worldwide. Previously the highest-grossing South Indian film of 2023, Leo has now been replaced by Salaar, ranking as the fifth-biggest Indian film of the year. Salaar is also on the verge of surpassing the worldwide collection of Baahubali, which stands at Rs 650 crore.
Despite its box office success, Salaar received mixed reviews. The Indian Express’ Shubhra Gupta gave the film two stars, stating, “Till the violence in Prabhas-Prithviraj-starrer is comic-book and ‘Games Of Thrones’-type stylised, you can find a way to rationalise it; the trouble ratchets up when it becomes more real.”
Salaar is directed by KGF fame Prashanth Neel and produced by Vijay Kiragandur under the banner Hombale Films. It stars Prabhas, Shruthi Haasan, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Madhu Guruswamy in key roles.
