Prabhas is concluding the year 2023 on a high note with his latest film, Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, breaking many box office records. After surpassing Jawan to become the biggest opener of 2023, Salaar has, however, experienced a gradual decline in its collections. According to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, posted at 6 pm, the film has amassed a nett collection of Rs 11.24 crore in India on Wednesday, bringing its total domestic earnings to an impressive Rs 291.54 crore.
Salaar’s global collection stands at Rs 428.9 crore. Despite starting its run with an impressive Rs 90.7 crore in India, the film saw a drop to Rs 56.35 crore on Saturday. It showed growth on Sunday by minting Rs 62.05 crore. However, on Monday, which coincided with the Christmas holiday, the collections fell by 25.38%, and the film earned Rs 46.3 crore. On Tuesday, a working day, the film witnessed a 46 percent drop, raking in just Rs 24.9 crore. Further drop in collection is expected on Wednesday.
Despite releasing with Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki, the Prabhas-starrer maintained an upper hand in terms of box office collections. The SRK-starrer, which released a day earlier than Salaar, has garnered Rs 140.20 crore in India till date. Salaar is now eyeing to surpass the record set by Rajinikanth’s film Jailer, which became the only South Indian film this year to reach the milestone of Rs 600 crore worldwide.
Hombale Films, the production house behind Salaar, recently announced they have lowered the ticket rates for the film in prominent cinema chains across India. This move is expected to fetch more footfalls in the coming days.
Directed by Prashanth Neel, Salaar also features Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, and Jagapathi Babu in pivotal roles.
