Box Office: 'Salaar' Becomes 5th Film of Prabhas To Hit 100 Crore Net Collection In Hindi

Mumbai, December 30 - Pan India superstar Prabhas-fronted action drama Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire is going strong, nearing 500 crores gross collection at the worldwide box office. It will be Prabhas' third 500 crore grosser, and first since "Baahubali 2" in 2017. ## Directed by Prashanth Neel, Salaar is also all set to enter the 100 crores net club in the dubbed Hindi version with today's collection, and this is an excellent achievement for the movie as it came in a clash with an outright Bollywood movie like Dunki, featuring superstar Shah Rukh Khan and director Rajkumar Hirani. ## Salaar has minted approximately 99 crores net collection in Hindi in its first 8 days, and it has topped 100 crores at the time of writing this piece. It has become the 5th movie of Prabhas to reach this milestone, and second of the year after Adipurush. ## Prabhas is the only actor of South Indian origin to have 5 films in the 100 crores net club in Hindi, as no other actor has more than one. Salaar is the 9th South Indian film (including "Adipurush") to hit the box office century in Hindi. Allu Arjun ("Pushpa - The Rise"), Jr. NTR and Ram Charan ("RRR"), Rajinikanth ("2.0"), and Yash ("KGF 2") are other actors in this list. ## Salaar would have scored much better than its current total had it released solo. The clash with Dunki has reduced it to fewer shows but still, it has done very well, especially in mass pockets. The film will continue to score and is expected to finish over 150+ crores net in Hindi in its lifetime run. ## Stay tuned...

'Salaar: Ceasefire' Opening Day Box Office Expectations

Hyderabad, December 21 - Director Prashanth Neel has been living a dream of seeing the theatres getting filled for one of his initial subjects in a new form and he couldn't have teamed up with a bigger star than Prabhas to do that for him and the time has finally arrived in a few hours. ## Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire has been in the making for the last two years and it is easily one of the most anticipated Indian films. Produced by Hombale Films, the movie is seen as a big comeback for Prabhas in particular after a few box office misfires over the last few years. ## Even though the recent films of Prabhas couldn't repeat the heroics of his past films they still scored big openings and Salaar is not going to be any different on that front. The movie is targeting one of the biggest openings for an Indian title at the worldwide box office looking at the pre-sales trend. ## The bookings of Salaar, despite not getting much support from national chains, are outstanding, to say the least. In India, the film has already grossed over 42 crores from online bookings while overall sales (including offline shows) should be around 60 crores for the opening day in all languages which is excellent. ## As per the booking trend, Salaar opening in India is tracking to over 100 crores gross as it is expected to be somewhere around 100-110 crores gross. In its main market, Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana), the film is expected to take the opening in the vicinity of 70 crores, which is one of the biggest ever. ## The Hindi market is going to be a key to Salaar's overall success and as per the booking trend, the movie is heading for a good start. It is mass-friendly and is expected to score around 20 crores gross in the Hindi belt. In Karnataka, the movie is projected to gross around 12 crores on the opening day, followed by 4+ crores in Kerala, and over 3 crores in Tamil Nadu. ## The overseas pre-sales of the movie are fantastic and the opening in international markets is expected to be 45+ crores, which will make it 150-160 crores opening day at the worldwide box office, making it the biggest for an Indian film of 2023.## The aforementioned projections are purely based on the booking trend and how pan-India Telugu films have behaved in the past, so these numbers may vary by some margin. Still, Salaar is on track to create some new records at the box office and if reports are favourable, then the sky is the limit for Prabhas-starrer tentpole. ## Stay tuned...

Director Prashanth Neel Responds On People Calling 'Salaar' A Remake of 'Ugramm'

Bangalore, December 21 - Prashanth Neel is one of the most successful directors coming out of Kannada cinema. Still, despite that, he has always been under the scrutiny of the media and critics for his style of filmmaking as many of them think that he can't bring versatility to his filmmaking style and always stick to one pattern. ## Neel is gearing up for the release of Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire, starring superstar Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The filmmaker is super confident that it will emerge as a big hit for him, however, at the same, there is a section of people that is trying to create negativity around the film by calling it the remake of Neel's "Ugramm". ## During a recent interview, Neel was asked if "Salaar" is the remake of "Ugramm", and his response shows his love for his passion and big screen cinema. "Ugramm was made for theatres. It was made for the cinema halls and I always had that pain. Not to take away anything from KGF, but the idea, the world-building, came to me from Ugramm. When Ugramm happened and I did not get what I wanted, I made a conscious decision that I was going to do something that would always fill the halls", he said (via Indian Express). ## The director further said that while he got what he wanted in the KGF series which was a massive blockbuster it is the subject of Ugramm that he wanted the world to see and now, he is exploring that idea by bringing newness to the story and is expecting to fulfil his deepest ambition. ## "I haven't filled cinema halls for that subject and instead of calling it a remake of Ugramm, I wanted to retell that story. I wanted to fill cinema halls and I am doing that on 22nd. Whatever people think, at the end of the day Ugramm is mine. It's not a point that I am trying to prove. I want to fulfil one of my deepest ambitions of filling theatres for that particular subject and that is what Salaar is. I have changed a lot of things. I don't care if people say this fellow cannot think beyond Ugramm and KGF", he added. ## The film is produced by Hombale Films and it is scheduled to release on December 22nd in Telugu along with the dubbed versions of Kannada, Hindi, Malayalam, and Tamil. ## Stay tuned...
