Prabhas starrer Salaar has become the biggest blockbuster of the year. As reported by Sacnilk, early estimates suggest that the film earned Rs 95 crore in India on its opening day across all languages.

While Pathaan had earned Rs 57 crore on its first day in India, Jawan and Animal had reported an opening of Rs 75 crore and Rs 63 crore respectively.

Amid this, Chiranjeevi took to social media to give the film team a big shoutout. He took to X on Saturday and wrote, “Heartiest Congratulations my dear ‘Deva’ Rebel Star Prabhas. Salaar: Part One – Ceasefire has put the box office on fire. Kudos to director Prashanth Neel on this remarkable achievement. You truly excel at world building. My love to the Superb ‘Varadaraja Mannar’ @PrithviOfficial, ‘Adya’ @shrutihaasan and ‘Kartha’ @IamJagguBhai. And The fantastic crew of @bhuvangowda84, @RaviBasrur, @vchalapathi_art, @anbariv, producer @VKiragandur and the entire team of @SalaarTheSaga and @hombalefilms on this stupendous success!”

Hombale Films’ Salaar: Part 1: Ceasefire stars Prabhas along with Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, and Jagapathi Babu in key roles. Made under the direction of Prashanth Neel, the film is produced by Vijay Kiragandur. Salaar has a duration of 2 hours and 55 minutes and was given an ‘A’ certificate by the censor board. The movie has several bloody combat scenes, violence, and battle scenes.

The film received mixed reviews from all. News18 Showsha’s review of Salaar reads, “The problem with a film like Salaar is that it focuses too much on the aesthetics and neglects the storyline. The film veers erratically back and forth between the past and present. I got a little lost in the movie way too soon because of the disorganized writing, characters that were introduced faster than a meteoroid colliding with Earth, and a plot that only really started up after the intermission.”
