Set in the fictional city of Khansaar, “Salaar” revolves around two friends Deva and Vardha, played by Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran, who end up becoming arch rivals.

The movie’s opening day figure is better than Prabhas’ previous film “Adipurush”, which had grossed Rs 140 crore on day one and had a great opening weekend, before seeing a huge dip due to multiple controversies that plagued the movie.

The opening figure of “Salaar” also surpassed Shah Rukh Khan’s two blockbuster movies of 2023 — “Pathaan” and “Jawan”, which had earned Rs 106 crore and Rs 129.6 crore in worldwide gross on their opening days, as well as Ranbir Kapoor’s “Animal” with Rs 116 crore on the first day.
