Salaar box office collection day 5; approaches Rs 500 crore

Salaar: Part 1-Ceasefire, a pure Prabhas movie, has been a huge success at the box office since its December 22 premiere. But the action-thriller’s earnings has also been steadily declining. The movie’s box office haul on Saturday decreased to Rs 56.35 crore from its opening weekend gross of an astounding Rs 90.7 crore in India. On Sunday, it increased marginally to Rs 62.05 crore. However, the movie made Rs 46.3 crore on Monday, the Christmas holiday, despite a 25.38% decline in box office receipts.

Prashanth Neel’s movie has already earned Rs 23.50 crore on its fifth day, which is also its first working weekday. Although this is fewer than the Tuesday box office receipts for Jawan, the biggest film of the year, which grossed Rs 39.1 crore on its fifth day of release. Even on its sixth day, Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, earned Rs 37.47 crore, more than Salaar. On the other hand, Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol, earned Rs 55.4 crore on the fifth day.

At present, Salaar has collected a total of Rs 278.90 crore through net sales. The movie is very close to earning Rs 500 crore worldwide. Salaar is on track to become the sixth Indian film of the year, following Pathaan, Jawan, Jailer, Animal, and Leo, to cross the Rs 500 crore global milestone.
