Salaar box office collection Day 19: Prashanth Neel’s actioner finally crosses Rs 700 crore mark worldwide, struggles to reach Rs 400 cr milestone in India

Salaar box office collection Day 19: In its third week, the Prabhas-led film is crawling towards the Rs 400 crore mark, which looks like a huge task with the approaching Sankranti/Pongal weekend.

Salaar box office collection: Prabhas starrer has crossed the Rs 400 crore mark in India.

Director Prashanth Neel’s Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire had a thunderous opening at the box office, as it earned Rs 90.7 crore on the day of its release, breaking the record of Atlee’s Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan (Rs 75 crore). However, it could not maintain the momentum built during its first week, and is now struggling to pass the Rs 400 crore mark domestically. The movie will be further impacted by the wide slate of releases during the Sankranti/Pongal weekend.

Salaar’s box office collection on day 19 was noted at Rs 2.15 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The film’s nett domestic collection now stands at Rs 397.80 crore, which means that it will finally pass the Rs 400 crore mark in the next day or two. The maximum footfall was seen during the night shows (17.43%) and the evening shows saw the minimum occupancy (14.27%). For the first time, the Tamil occupancy (16.40%) was higher than the Telugu occupancy (15.29%), while the occupancy in the Hindi-speaking regions fell to 9.84%.

The chances of the Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran-led drama surpassing the collection of Rajinikanth’s 2.0, look bleak. Released in 2018, 2.0 had earned Rs 407.05 crore in India. Salaar will not even come close to matching Jawan (Rs 640.25 cr), Pathaan (Rs 543.09 cr), Animal (Rs 551.21 cr), and Gadar 2 (Rs 525.7 cr) at the domestic box office. The highest-earning Indian film is SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, with a nett domestic collection of Rs 1030.42 crore.
