Salaar BOC Day 1 (Early Estimates): Prabhas creates chaos with an opening of Rs 70 Crore Plus, but can it beat Adipurush?
Salaar: CeaseFire has done fantastic in pre-booking and the opening day is expected to be bigger than you can imagine. But can Prabhas go beyond the opening of Adipurush?
Salaar Box Office Collection Day 1 Prediction: Salaar: Armistice is all set to take over the screens as the big Christmas release after Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki. The Prabhas protagonist is a mass actioner, quite in the league of the KGF series that was also directed by Prashanth Neel. The film aims to create massive Box Office records on its first day and break some old ones. Will be able to top it though Prabhas‘ previous big film Adipurush’s opening day at the Box Office? Here is a detailed prediction of this Salaar‘s Box Office collection day one.
Salaar has a lot in its favor. The film is released after much fuss and several postponements. Prabhas’ fans are aware of how important the film is for his career after the colossal failure of Adipurush which was plagued by bad reviews and terrible word of mouth. This is the first offering from Prashanth’s book of films after the hysterical success of KGF 2 which swept all Box Office records and remains the second highest grossing Indian film of all time. There is a goodwill associated with Prashant’s craft and he enjoys a huge following – the kind of audience that appreciates his filmmaking style. Plus, this is the only widely available option for action lovers this holiday season.
Salaar: CeaseFire advance booking report for opening day box office
The advance bookings for Salaar: Armistice as of 9:30 PM on Thursday, it stands at Rs 41.65 crore gross. The film has sold 19.58 lakh tickets across all versions, the trade website said bag. The final first day bookings at the Box Office are expected to be around Rs 45 crore. With the combination of spot bookings, the opening collection will most likely be around Rs 70 crore plus-minus. This would be a solid number for a film that hasn’t found a notable audience in the North Dunki leading that part of the market.
Can Salaar beat Adipurush on the opening day?
However, even though Salaar will find its place in the top 10 greatest Indian openers, it is difficult to beat the opening day numbers Adipurush. The film was released earlier this year and premiered across India to a whopping Rs 86.75 crore nett. This was when it collected Rs 26.39 crore gross by selling 10.74 lakh tickets in pre-sales, as reported by bag. With a much bigger pre-sale buzz for Salaarthe latter is expected to perform beyond belief.
However, Friday will be a challenge. Dunkiwhich was released a day earlier Salaar, has prevailed with positive reviews all around. If Salaar gets good word of mouth, the Saturday collections could well be in the range of Rs 80-90 crore, with expectations for the first weekend rising to Rs 300 crore. It will be interesting how the Salaar wave combats the Dunki excitement at the Box Office. The time starts now!
