The film's official Instagram page, managed by the Salaar team, shared an update on the global earnings, revealing an impressive gross of Rs 295.7 crore worldwide.

Consequently, the film's cumulative collection in India stands at Rs 145.70 crores.

Released alongside SRK and Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki, Salaar has been leading the box office race.
