Salaar box office collection day 4: Prabhas’ long-awaited comeback is complete, to sprint past Rs 450 cr worldwide mark today

Salaar box office collection in India has now passed the Rs 250 crore mark after four days, and is fast approaching the Rs 450 gross mark worldwide. It is now safe to say that Prabhas has finally delivered his long-awaited comeback, after a string of high-profile flops following Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. After starring in those blockbuster films, Prabhas delivered the big-budget flops Saaho, Radhe Shyam and Adipurush.

Salaar’s primary market seems to be Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The film’s Telugu version reported an overall occupancy of 63% on day four, as compared to 34% in Malayalam, 23% in Tamil, 35% in Hindi and 45% in Kannada; the latter happens to be director Neel’s home territory. But unlike Animal, which worked unusually well in the Telugu region for a Bollywood movie, presumably because of director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s pull, Salaar is still playing like a Prabhas vehicle, despite the involvement of Neel, and Malayalam stalwart Prithviraj Sukumaran.

Globally, the film finished at the number three spot on the weekend box office chart, behind Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and Wonka. Dunki, which has made approximately Rs 250 crore worldwide, took the number four spot. The comedy drama, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, made a strong Rs 22 crore on Monday, its fifth day in theatres, taking its total collections in India to Rs 128 crore.
