Salaar box office collection day 5: Prabhas’ film registers lowest single-day haul, approaches Rs 500 crore mark worldwide

Salaar box office collection: An out-and-out Prabhas film, Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire has been a rage at the box office since its release on December 22. However, the action-thriller has also been witnessing a steady drop in revenue. After starting its run with an impressive Rs 90.7 crore in India, the film dropped to Rs 56.35 crore on Saturday. It showed slight growth on Sunday (Rs 62.05 crore). But on Monday, which also happened to be the Christmas holiday, the collections fell by 25.38% and the film earned Rs 46.3 crore.

Now on its fifth day, its first working weekday, the Prashanth Neel film raked in Rs 23.50 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. This is less than the Tuesday figures for this year’s biggest blockbuster, Jawan, which earned Rs 39.1 crore on its fifth day in the theatres. Even Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal did better business than Salaar on its fifth day, as it earned Rs 37.47 crore. Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2, on the other hand, made Rs 55.4 crore on the fifth day.

The total nett collection of Salaar currently stands at Rs 278.90 crore. Globally, the film is approaching the Rs 500 crore mark. Salaar is set to become the sixth Indian film of the year to pass the Rs 500 crore mark globally, after Pathaan, Jawan, Jailer, Animal and Leo.
