SALAAR finished its all India collections with a 404 crore nett final total with an overseas total of $15.25 million (126 crore). The GROSS in India is around 486 crore giving the film a final worldwide gross of 612 crore apprx which is the highest for a South Indian film in 2023 edging past the 605 crore of JAILER which had the advantage of Tamil films being bigger in the overseas market.

SALAAR is the fifth highest grossing film from the South after the two BAAHUBALI films, RRR and KGF - CHAPTER 2 in India while worldwide it is sixth as 2.0 has a higher worldwide total. The Hindi version collected around $2.50 million overseas giving it a worldwide total of 226 crore which is pretty good. The Hindi version of the film is a HIT on collections but there were a lot of torn tickets. This was not done for perception or to make the film look bigger than it was to the media like it was done for some outright Hindi films.

Here, the Hindi digital was not sold pre release as the makers probably were confident of a big number. But this did not come and a certain number was needed to fetch a price for Hindi digital. So, the collections were bolstered but still it did not work out as the makers had to settle for a discounted digital price. This film was a tough one to report as suddenly in mid release, the collections saw a jump and a change in trend. It was not reported at the time as the commentary would have to change but on collections shown, the film is a HIT in Hindi

Obviously the collections can be taken out for a lower verdict but then that has to be done with the other outright Hindi films and basically you have to go with the collections out there.

The business of SALAAR in India of all versions is as follows. NOTE - The Hindi version collections from South are in the Hindi version.

Nizam Andhra - 1,72,00,00,000

Mysore / Karnataka - 28,00,00,000

Tamil Nadu - 18,25,00,000

Kerala - 13,75,00,000

Hindi  - 1,70,00,00,00

Telugu Version (Hindi Circuits) - 2,00,00,000

SALAAR (Hindi) collected 3.75 crore nett on its second Tuesday and is heading for a 40-41 crore second week. Salaar will be looking at business of around the 134 crore nett in two weeks and will comfortably cross the 150 crore nett mark in Hindi. The all India business of the film stands at around 350 crore nett. If the film can get to 400 crore nett, then it will be sixth South Indian film to reach that mark after BAAHUBALI: THE BEGINNING, BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUCION, 2.0, RRR and KGF - CHAPTER 2.

This fact that the Hindi version is holding best also makes the performance look better as down South, the numbers are mainly down to the huge initial. The collections in Nizam/Andhra will probably fall short of 200 crore despite being close to 150 crore in week one. Still it is the third biggest film ever in the circuit after RRR and BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUCION.

It remains to be seen where the film goes but it should be able to cross the 150 crore nett mark even with these mixed reports as there is nothing for the mass centres will end of January.

The collections of SALAAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

----------------------------------

SALAAR (Hindi) saw a drop on its second Wednesday as collections were 20% down and it collected around 3 crore nett  to take the total of the film to 130 crore nett plus. The second week will be a little under 40 crore nett which is a decent collection for this film.

The collections of SALAAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 5,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

SALAAR (Hindi) collected 8 crore nett on its second Monday and took its total to 123.50 crore nett in ten days though the film will see collection at lower levels from here on. The film has performed well for a dubbed South film though this one had higher expectations..

This fact that the Hindi version is holding best also makes the performance look better as down South, the numbers are mainly down to the huge initial. The collections in Nizam/Andhra will probably fall short of 200 crore despite being close to 150 crore in week one.

SALAAR (Hindi) had a fair second weekend of 22 crore nett plus which takes the film to almost 116 crore nett. The holds are decent and they are good in context how the film has dropped in the South. The film is on its way to becoming the biggest South Indian film of 2023 in India though worldwide, there is still some way to go.

This Hindi version is holding by far the best but even here, its important where the collections land post New Years Day. The film should cross the numbers of SAAHO (Hindi) but with SALAAR, the expectations were higher due the film being from the director of the KGF. At the same time, there was a clash with DUNKI which brings these expectations down.

The film has fared best in the Gujarat/Saurashtra and CP, CI, Rajasthan belts. The stronger areas for South film films like Maharashtra and Odisha opened very well but have not held as well as they should have.

The collections of SALAAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 20,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 15,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 9,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 7,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 5,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 9,25,00,000 apprx

Second Weekend - 22,25,00,000 apprx

SALAAR (Hindi), like DUNKI, saw little growth on its second Saturday with collections of 7.25 crore nett as its a case of holiday fatigue. The growth was 25% which is less than DUNKI but it will probably be the opposite on Sunday.

This takes the total of the film to 106 crore nett which is a good number if it can maintain post the New Years Day. The film has done well in the South with the original film but not as per the expectations. The performance for the original film in Telugu is a bit like TIGER 3 as its a HIT but more was expected from the film.

The Hindi performance comparatively is probably better than the original film but that may not show in the numbers due to the clash with DUNKI. The better Hindi performance of SAAHO (2019) clearly showed in the numbers. 

The collections of SALAAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 20,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 15,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 9,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 7,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 5,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

SALAAR (Hindi) put a 5.75 crore nett number on the second Friday which is a pretty number for the film and it takes the total of the film close to 100 crore nett. There is a drop in collections in various circuits on the second Friday but the numbers remain healthy.

The Hindi version is now comfortably doing the best business as the film has lower collections in Telugu. The film can now target the 150 crore nett mark but a lot depends on the Saturday growth. Due to the holiday period, the growth maybe less and also there is the test post New Years day.

The appreciation of the film is so so but lack of these type of action films for the mass Hindi circuits is keeping collections going at a decent level.

The collections of SALAAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 20,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 15,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 9,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 7,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 5,75,00,000 apprx

SALAAR (Hindi) collected 7.50 crore nett on the last day of the week giving it a first week total of 93 crore nett plus which is a good number. The last film of the hero Prabhas, ADIPURUSH, did 127.50 crore nett lifetime in Hindi but was a rejected film and this is sure to cross that number.

The holds of the film are pretty good over the weekdays and it should do well enough over the second weekend though where it will go will depend on the what happens after the New Year. The film could have done better business as far as the Hindi circuits if it did not clash with DUNKI.

The best numbers for the film are in Gujarat, Odisha and CP, CI and Rajasthan. The business in Maharashtra is not up to the mark considering this is where the South dubbed films lead.

The collections of SALAAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 20,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 15,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 9,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 7,50,00,000 apprx

----------------------------------------------------

SALAAR (Hindi) held up well on Wednesday with collections of 9.25 crore nett which takes the collections of the film almost 86 crore nett and the week close to 95 crore nett. The last film of the hero Prabhas, ADIPURUSH, did 127.50 crore nett lifetime in Hindi but that was a rejected film and this is sure to cross that number.

SALAAR should go comfortably ahead of ADIPURUSH but the film will face a test post New Years Day when collections generally go down. The film is now generally competing with DUNKI though it is still less in North India and East India while Western and Central parts are better.

The collections of SALAAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 20,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 15,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 9,25,00,000 apprx

SALAAR (Hindi) held well on Tuesday with collections in the 9.50 crore nett range which took the film to 76.50 crore nett in five days and its heading for a near 100 crore nett total for the first seven days. The last film of the hero Prabhas, ADIPURUSH, did 127.50 crore nett lifetime in Hindi but that was a rejected film.

SALAAR should go comfortably ahead of ADIPURUSH but the film will face a test post New Years Day when collections generally go down a level. The film is now generally competing with DUNKI though it is still less in North India and East India while Western and Central parts are better.

The all India collections of the film in all versions stand at around 250-255 crore nett after five days. The worldwide numbers are close to 400 crore. Here, the target is JAILER which is the only South Indian film to get to 600 crore this year and a lot will depend on the Hindi version. There's no doubt that SALAAR has a far higher reach in terms of audience than JAILER as that could not do well in Hindi.

The collections of SALAAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 20,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 15,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 9,50,00,000 apprx

SALAAR (Hindi) did well on Monday which was a holiday for Christmas though there was a drop from Sunday and with the holiday, the collections should have shown a lesser drop. Still, the film managed 15 crore nett and the collections were in the same range as day one.

The total collections of the film have reached 67 crore nett which is a good number for the first five days but it is about where the film can go from here. The film has seen a drop in South outside Bangalore where Christmas is huge. This puts more importance on the Hindi version in the long run as it has potential to hold up the best. In fact, the collections of the Hindi version were not much less compared to the collections in Nizam/Andhra on Monday.

The film continues to be ahead of DUNKI in the mass circuits but the clash has hurt the film as it had to compete with a DUNKI. Even though though it may not be the strongest Shah Rukh Khan film, you need to be a blockbuster film which this film is not. A solo release date or a clash with a smaller Hindi film would have benefited SALAAR.

The collections of SALAAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 20,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 15,00,00,000 apprx

SALAAR (Hindi) has done good business over the first weekend with collections of 52 crore nett. The trend is positive with good growth on Sunday though this could have been more if the film had a bigger single screen release.

These numbers of lower than the likes of ADIPURUSH and SAAHO but because SALAAR clashed with DUNKI, these collection are quite good and the trend is also better than the likes of ADIPURUSH and SAAHO. The collections are good in all circuits with likes of Gujarat, CP Berar, Bihar and Odisha leading the way.

There is a holiday on Monday which should ensure good collections. The film has put up big numbers in the South but the trends outside Nizam/Andhra are not that good. So, the Hindi circuits will be crucial in terms of where this film goes in the long run. The all India collections of the film over the first weekend will be in the 190 crore nett range which is second highest this year after JAWAN taking all formats into account.

The collections of SALAAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 20,50,00,000 apprx

---------------------------------

SALAAR has collected a huge 189 crore nett across all version of the film as it put up big numbers in Nizam/Andhra and Mysore. This is the second highest weekend this year after JAWAN which went to 195 crore nett all on all formats.

The South is really depending on where Nizam/Andhra goes as the trend is not so strong in the other South markets. Its likely to be about what happens in Nizam/Andhra and the Hindi version in the long run. Although these numbers are huge, there were likely to be higher expectations from the makers due to the KGF phenomena in the South.

The film also grossed around $9.5 million in overseas for the three-four days (Thursday release) which is actually the same number as DUNKI though the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer will hold up much better from today onwards. The worldwide numbers for SALAAR in all formats is around 304 crore with 225 crore (189 cr nett) in India and 79 crore ($9.5m) in Overseas.

The busienss of SALAAR in India is as follows.

Nizam/Andhra - 1,00,00,00,000 apprx

Mysore/Karnataka - 19,50,00,000 apprx

Tamil Nadu - 9,50,00,000 apprx

Kerala - 7,75,00,000 apprx

Hindi Circuits - 52,25,00,000 apprx (including regional versions but not Hindi version from South)

SALAAR has maintained collections well on Saturday as it collects a little higher than Friday with 16 crore nett. The growth is limited but the fear for these films is always a drop on day two as they have a huge ratio of business coming from mass circuits. The drop in these is limited which goes well for the long run here.

The issue for the film can be the big centre multiplex business as although that is up, its not much whereas it had potential to jump a lot due to lower collections on Friday. Despite having collections that are 8 crore nett lower than DUNKI, it is still ahead in many places like Gujarat, CP Berar, Bihar and Odisha. The two day numbers of the film are 31.50 crore nett and it will be targeting a 50 crore nett weekend.

The film should show good growth on Sunday but its single screens which show the biggest growth on Sunday. Here, SALAAR has less single screens for a film for the masses due to the clash with DUNKI. Hence, the growth could be less than it should be. The film will have good weekend results and Monday due to the holiday and its about whether the film can go on from there.

The collections of SALAAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 16,00,00,000 apprx

SALAAR had a good first day as it collected 15.50 crore nett in Hindi all over India on the first day which compares well with RRR (Hindi) which was a little over 19 crore nett. But RRR was a solo release and came with good promotion before release with many units. Here, the makers left it very late with a proper trailer only a few days before release. That was a god send as just not in terms of film reaching the audience but also getting screens as it would have been difficult on the units before which had left the film very cold.

The film had good start at places in the morning while others were so so. It was all good by the day had ended as those places which started low had picked up. The film opened to higher numbers than DUNKI did on day one in Gujarat, Rajasthan, CP Berar, Bihar and Odisha and the film does have appreciation in the Hindi belts.

The traditionally weaker areas for dubbed South films like East Punjab and West Bengal picked up well as they collected 1.35 crore nett and 75 lakhs nett respectively and these markets getting these numbers with the competition of DUNKI are a good sign for the film in the long run as they are on board from the first day itself.

The film maybe could have done better in the bigger multiplexes but that was going to be difficult as DUNKI would be first choice. Yet, the collections in areas dominated by the bigger multiplexes have still come out pretty good and there is a lot of upside here which can take the collections higher.

The film saw extraordinary collections in the South especially Nizam/Andhra and Mysore (a phenomenal 9.6 crore nett day all versions). If we take all versions of the film, then the opening will be the highest of the year probably in the 85 crore nett range beating the likes of JAWAN and ADIPURUSH which were around 70 crore nett plus (all formats).
