The USA box office for Indian films is currently slow, with anticipation for upcoming Sankranthi films to boost revenue. Shah Rukh Khan's "Dunki" has crossed $8 million, while Prabhas' "Salaar" is close to reaching $9 million and "Animal" nears $15 million. Kalyan Ram's "Devil" has crossed $200k, but no Telugu film generated revenue over the past weekend.
'Salaar,' starring Prabhas, experienced a box office slowdown, failing to cross the Rs 650 Crore mark despite high expectations. The film's lack of mass-appealing songs and insufficient post-release publicity are identified as the main reasons for not achieving the projected Rs 1000 crore collection. In contrast, other films like 'Animal,' 'Jawan,' 'Pathaan,' and 'Gadar2' have demonstrated the importance of hit songs in a movie's commercial success.
Prabhas' action film "Salaar" has entered the profit zone after a strong two-week run at the box office, particularly in the Nizam area where it surpassed the lifetime share of "Baahubali 2" and is second only to "RRR." Mythri Movie Makers, who acquired the Nizam rights for Rs 65 Cr, have seen a distributor share of Rs 69 Cr from over 100 Cr gross collections. The film is expected to continue its successful run with a significant number of screens allocated for the upcoming week, despite competition from Sankranthi releases.
Prabhas's film "Salaar" is currently the third highest-grossing Telugu film in the USA, with a collection of $8.65 million. The film is aiming to reach the $9 million milestone at the US box office but requires an additional $350K to achieve this goal. Despite a slowdown in earnings, achieving this milestone would be significant for fans, although it would not change the film's ranking among the top Telugu grossers in the USA, where it trails behind "Baahubali 2" and "RRR."
Prabhas-starrer "Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire" has outperformed "Baahubali: The Beginning" in North American box office earnings, reaching US $8.6 million in just 13 days. However, it's unlikely to beat the record of "Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani" which stands at US $10.6 million. "Salaar" is facing a decline in daily collections and competition from other films, with projections suggesting it will end its run with US $9.5 to US $10.5 million. A sequel, "Salaar - Shouryanga Parvam," has been confirmed for release by the end of 2025.
"Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire" is critiqued as a high-testosterone, low-EQ retelling of the 1991 film "Thalapathi," which itself is inspired by the Mahabharata. Despite sharing thematic elements, "Salaar" is seen as lacking the emotional depth and nuanced character relationships of "Thalapathi." The film's focus on star worship and action over character development is criticized, and its narrative predictability is highlighted due to its roots in Prashanth Neel's earlier film "Ugramm." The article suggests that the formulaic approach to big-budget action films is becoming outdated, as evidenced by "Salaar's" inability to match the success of other action blockbusters in the domestic market.
"Salaar Part 1 Ceasefire," starring Prabhas, is experiencing a decline in box office revenue, with an estimated collection of ₹5 crore on its 12th day across all languages in India. Despite the dip, the film has accumulated a total of ₹366.94 crore since its release on December 22. The multi-language film, directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Hombale Films, features a cast including Prithviraj Sukumaran and Shruti Haasan and has received significant audience support.
The Indian box office has witnessed a strong start in 2024 with Shah Rukh Khan's 'Dunki' and Prabhas's 'Salaar' leading the charge, collectively earning Rs 30 crore. 'Salaar' raked in Rs 15.50 crore on its eleventh day, while 'Dunki' brought in Rs 9.25 crore on its twelfth day. Other notable performers include Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal' and the Vicky Kaushal-led 'Sam Bahadur', both maintaining a solid presence. Regional films also contributed to the box office success, while a controversy has arisen around Kapoor for a video that allegedly hurt religious sentiments.
Prabhas-starrer "Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire," directed by Prashanth Neel, continues its strong performance at the box office, reaching a domestic total of ₹345.37 crore by day 10. Despite not being intentionally made as a pan-India film, it has received widespread acclaim across the country. The film features a star-studded cast and has been released in multiple languages. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the movie a mixed review, noting its unique visual style.
"Salaar," featuring Prabhas, continues its successful run at the US box office, earning an additional $700k over the weekend, with total earnings reaching $8.2 million. It aims for a $9 million total, ranking as the fourth highest-grossing Indian movie in North America for 2023. In contrast, the new releases "Devil" and "Bubblegum" flopped, with "Devil" earning just $165k and "Bubblegum" only $12k. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan's "Dunki" outperformed "Salaar" over the weekend, with a total collection of $7 million.
"Salaar Part 1 Ceasefire," starring Prabhas and directed by Prashanth Neel, is expected to reach a box office collection of nearly ₹345 crore in India by its 10th day. The film, which released on December 22 in multiple languages, has shown a strong performance across the country, with the Hindi version contributing significantly to the earnings. Prabhas expressed gratitude for the audience's love and support, attributing the film's success to the hard work of the entire team.
Prabhas' film "Salaar" has made a significant impact at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing film in Nizam/Andhra, excluding S.S. Rajamouli's movies, with a net collection of approximately 310 crore in India. Despite not meeting initial expectations in the domestic market, the film's strong performance in the Hindi version indicates a potential to reach the 400 crore net milestone. Internationally, "Salaar" has excelled, especially in the US, where it has earned $8 million, making Prabhas the only actor with two films, including "Baahubali 2," to cross the $8 million mark in North America, alongside Rajamouli's "RRR."
Prabhas' film "Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire," directed by Prashanth Neel, continues to perform well at the box office, having entered the ₹ 300-crore club in its first week. On day 9, the movie earned ₹ 12.50 crore, bringing its domestic total to ₹ 329.62 crore. Despite its success, Neel did not originally intend for the film to be a pan-India hit. The movie, which also stars Shruti Haasan among others, has been reviewed by NDTV's Saibal Chatterjee, who gave it 2.5 stars and commented on its visual style.
South Indian superstar Prabhas' latest film 'Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire' (Hindi dubbed version) has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office, making it his fifth film to achieve this milestone. The film, directed by Prashanth Neel, has been performing well since its release on December 22, despite competition from other major releases like Shah Rukh Khan's 'Dunki'. 'Salaar' has garnered a worldwide collection of over Rs 550 crore and is expected to continue its successful run, with projections suggesting a final tally exceeding Rs 150 crore nett for the Hindi version.
"Salaar," featuring Prabhas, is proving to be a box office success, particularly in the Telugu language, and is maintaining a steady performance in Hindi as well. The film is doing well in its second weekend across Telugu states, North America, and North India, even as it competes with new releases. It has the potential to reach a $9 million gross in North America and has benefited from the decline of "Dunki" in North Indian single screens.
