Salaar Advance Bookings Takes Lead With Rs. 48.94 Crore; Prabhas To Get Better Opening Than King Khan

Advance bookings for Salaar: Despite rumors that it won’t receive a fair amount of screen time in comparison to another major movie, Dunki, Prabhas’ highly anticipated action drama is expected to make a big splash at the box office on Friday. Report states that the movie had ₹48.94 crore in first-day advance bookings. This suggests that it could end up earning a lot more than Dunki, which debuted on Thursday at about ₹30 crore, the day before.

First Friday of Salaar

According to the report, on Friday, the first day of Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, more than 22 lakh tickets were sold for 16,593 shows. This comprises almost 17 lakh tickets for Telugu shows alone, valued at ₹38.25 crore. Before the movie’s release, more than 2 lakh tickets worth ₹1.9 crore for Tamil shows and 5.62 crore for Hindi shows were sold as advance bookings for Salaar

What is this Dunki vs Salaar

A few days ago, several in the business expressed their displeasure with Salaar’s unequal screen time compared to Dunki, which stars Shah Rukh Khan. Part 1 of The Makers of Salaar On Wednesday, Ceasefire announced that they would not allow their movie to be shown in the southern PVR INOX and Miraj Cinemas theaters since the multiplex chains are preferring Dunki to the Prabhas movie. A Hombale Films representative claimed that PVR INOX and Miraj Cinemas had broken their pledge to the banner to provide “equal showcasing” for both Salaar and Dunki.

Details on Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire

Prashanth Neel, of KGF fame, directed Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, which was also released in Kannada and Malayalam around the world. Shruti Haasan plays the female protagonist, while Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran play the lead roles. The movie tells the story of Deva and Vardha, played by Prabhas and Sukumaran, respectively, and is set in the made-up city of Khansaar.

Talking about the film, Prithviraj Sukumaran recently told PTI in an interview, “I had different notions about what the film would be. I didn’t expect it to be a story of two friends, their bonding, and what happens between them. That caught me by surprise. What drew me in was the drama. Despite all the spectacular fight sequences and huge sets, what pulls you in Salaar is the drama. That drama, regardless of how big or small the film is or in which language the film is made, it works.”
