The Prabhas-starring movie made history and turned as the greatest Indian movie debut of 2023. Salaar's official account tweeted on X, which was once known as Twitter. The film, which was directed by Prashanth Neel, was released in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi theaters on Friday.
The film's first-day box office receipts surpass those of Prabhas's last release, Adipurush. It opened with a tremendous weekend gross of ₹140 crore and had a significant decline the next weekend as a result of the numerous problems that dogged the film. The first-day international gross of Salaar also exceeded that of Ranbir Kapoor's Animal, which brought in ₹116 crore, and Shah Rukh Khan's two 2023 blockbuster films, Jawan and Pathaan, which took home ₹106 crore and ₹129.6 crore, respectively.
On the first day, #SalaarCeaseFire grosses 178.7 crore GBOC globally! The largest premiere of any Indian film in 2023," Salaar's official account stated. Salaar, which is set in the made-up city of Khansaar, centers on two friends who become fierce rivals: Vardha and Deva, portrayed by Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
In addition, this is Prashanth and Prabhas' largest joint project. They worked together for the first time to produce the massively action-packed film spectacular.
