Salaar, directed by Prashanth Neel and featuring Prabhas in the lead, has seen a remarkable journey at the box office, especially in its Telugu version. The film, titled Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire, initially gained tremendous traction, setting records and pleasing Prabhas’ fans with his intense portrayal.
Despite this success, the Telugu version faced its first setback recently. While the Telugu release consistently performed well, showcasing strong collections in its initial days and maintaining a steady pace until the fifth day, a sudden and significant drop in audience turnout has been observed.
This decline has sparked concerns, particularly among the film’s buyers in Andhra Pradesh, as sustaining robust collections in this region is crucial for Salaar to attain a hit status at the box office. The film’s fate in Andhra Pradesh seems uncertain following this drop, with the spotlight now on the upcoming second weekend and the advantage of the long New Year weekend.
The hopes are pinned on Salaar to bounce back and regain its momentum during this crucial period, especially to reassure the confidence of its Andhra buyers and secure a successful run at the box office.
