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
