Prabhas-Starrer 'Salaar' Makes a Strong Debut at the Hindi Box Office
Salaar Hindi Box Office Collection: 'Salaar', directed by Prashanth Neel and featuring Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Shruti Haasan, kick-started its journey at the Hindi box office with an impressive opening of Rs 14-15 crores. This achievement is noteworthy, especially considering the clash with the much-anticipated film Dunki. Although it falls slightly behind the initial collections of Prabhas' Adipurush in the Hindi region, the clash factor was always in play.
Despite the competition, Salaar is poised to build on its strong start and maintain momentum throughout the New Year. The film needs to continue attracting audiences, particularly in mass centers across the country, to secure a minimum total of over Rs 100 crores. With around 35 percent of screens allocated to Salaar, while other films like Dunki, Aquaman 2, and Animal share the remaining 65 percent, the movie's success will depend on sustaining this early momentum.
The film's aggressive promotional campaign has played a crucial role in generating buzz and anticipation. The team behind Salaar aims to capitalize on this momentum to ensure a successful run at the box office.
Beyond the Hindi box office, 'Salaar' made a thunderous global debut, surpassing Rs 150 crores, marking it as the biggest opener of 2023. These staggering numbers place Salaar as Prabhas' second-best opening, following the monumental success of Baahubali 2. Prabhas continues to establish himself as a significant draw for audiences, solidifying his status as one of the most sought-after actors in the country.
Salaar revolves around the friendship between a prince and a renegade, both of whom share a history as childhood friends. The film promises an engaging narrative that explores the complexities of their relationship. The film's strong start and global acclaim suggest that 'Salaar' is set to make a lasting impact on the cinematic landscape in 2023.
