Karnataka, India – Prabhas’ latest blockbuster, ‘Salaar,’ shows no signs of slowing down as it wraps up its fourth weekend with an impressive collection of Rs 2.05 crore. The film has demonstrated incredible consistency in box office numbers, with Friday bringing in Rs 0.5 crore, followed by Rs 0.65 crore on Saturday, and a surge on Sunday with Rs 0.90 crore. The overall success of ‘Salaar’ extends beyond India, as it approaches the milestone of Rs 750 crore in global box office earnings.
What sets ‘Salaar’ apart is its multi-lingual release, which has greatly contributed to its massive popularity. With a Hindi nett collection reaching approximately Rs 151 crore and a total nett collection of Rs 404 crore across all languages, the film has captivated audiences from various regions. This widespread appeal has prompted the makers of Prabhas’ upcoming film, ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ to postpone its release, giving ‘Salaar’ ample time to dominate the box office. Originally set for a January 2024 release, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ will now hit theaters in May 2024.
However, the competition is about to heat up for ‘Salaar’ as it enters the final stretch at the Indian box office. The highly anticipated Bollywood film ‘Fighter,’ starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, is set to hit screens on January 25, coinciding with the extended Republic Day weekend. With its star-studded cast and wide release, ‘Fighter’ is expected to pose a formidable challenge to ‘Salaar’ in the coming weeks.
Despite the impending competition, ‘Salaar’ continues to be a phenomenon in the film industry. Its mesmerizing storyline and Prabhas’ captivating performance have resonated with audiences worldwide, propelling it towards unprecedented box office success. As the film crosses the Rs 750 crore mark, it solidifies its position as one of the most lucrative and celebrated releases in recent times. Moviegoers can’t seem to get enough of ‘Salaar,’ eagerly awaiting its next box office milestone. As the film industry brims with anticipation, only time will tell if ‘Salaar’ can withstand the upcoming battle at the box office and maintain its triumphant reign.
