Hyderabad: In the recent clash at the box office between Prabhas-starrer Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire and Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki, the former has taken the lead. Despite a recent decline in numbers, Salaar stands out as one of Prabhas's most successful ventures post the blockbuster Baahubali films. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Salaar witnessed a 25.42% growth at the box office on its tenth day, Sunday, compared to the collections on Saturday.
Salaar made an impressive debut on December 22, surpassing Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan as the biggest opener of 2023. However, its collections faced a decline after the initial three days, continuing throughout the first week. Nevertheless, Salaar experienced a resurgence on the second Saturday, earning a noteworthy Rs 12.55 crore. As per trade tracker Sacnilk, the film has accumulated around Rs 15.74 crore on Sunday, contributing to a total domestic collection of Rs 346.88 crore.
Despite the downward trend, Salaar marks a significant success for Prabhas, especially when compared to his previous films. His highly anticipated Adipurush struggled to reach Rs 288.15 crore nett in India due to controversies surrounding visual effects and dialogues.
