Salaar crossed the 200 crore barrier with a roughly Rs. 225 crore worldwide gross on Saturday, and the picture is expected to make Rs. 300 crore in its first weekend of release.
With a second-day gross of Rs. 63 crore on Saturday, Salaar’s two-day cumulative box office gross now stands at Rs. 158.50 crore. It is interesting to note that the second-day numbers are actually a little lower than those of Adipurush, but in that case, the majority of the film’s collections are coming from South India, whereas in Salaar, they are mostly from North India. There will be some surge in collections today, particularly for the Hindi version, which should take the first weekend to approximately Rs. 225 crore.
With an additional USD 2 million in overseas sales yesterday, the movie crossed the 200 crore milestone with an approximate total of Rs. 225 crore. The film’s worldwide weekend earnings are expected to reach Rs. 300 crore.
With a total of nearly Rs. 43 crore after two days in Nizam, the Prabhas starrer earned approximately Rs. 30 crore in Telugu states, earning a Rs. 18 crore share. The film is doing better in Telangana, with numbers second only to RRR. Andhra Pradesh, specifically Coastal Andhra, is a bit low, with Saturday numbers just slightly over Adipurush, which was itself an underperformer.
Salaar has brought in the following amounts at the Indian box office:
Friday: Rs. 95.50 crore
Saturday: Rs. 63 crore
Total: Rs. 158.50 crore
As for the Hindi version, it maintained mostly flat, which is the usual trend for a mass actioner; outside of Telugu states, the film witnessed drops in Karnataka and Kerala, while Tamil Nadu held somewhat well.
