Prabhas’ Salaar has officially claimed the title of the biggest Indian opener of 2023, marking a phenomenal start at the global box office. The film, as reported by its makers, amassed an astonishing 178.7 crores in gross collections on its inaugural day.
This achievement places Salaar as Prabhas’ second-biggest opener, following the monumental success of Baahubali 2. While a robust opening was anticipated, the movie not only met but exceeded all expectations. The magnetic allure of Prabhas and the widespread anticipation for Prashanth Neel’s directorial prowess played pivotal roles in propelling the film to this remarkable accomplishment.
Prashanth Neel’s previous directorial venture, KGF 2, had amassed a staggering 1200 crores in gross collections worldwide. The question on everyone’s mind now is whether Salaar can surpass KGF 2’s record, given the overwhelmingly positive word of mouth and reviews surrounding the film. The inclusion of talents like Prithviraj Sukumaran and Shruti Haasan in this high-octane action drama, accompanied by Ravi Basrur’s musical composition, adds further intrigue.
With the buzz surrounding a potential sequel reaching new heights, Salaar has generated immense anticipation and curiosity among audiences. The combination of Prabhas’ star power, Prashanth Neel’s directorial prowess, and the positive reception thus far has set the stage for Salaar to make a significant mark in the realm of Indian cinema.
