's ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire’ didn't quite match up to the box office success of Atlee's ‘Jawan’ on its first Saturday and Sunday. However, it has passed the Monday test and beaten the first Monday collection of '
Jawan
'.
In the face of tough competition from Rajkumar Hirani’s SRK film Dunki, Salaar has managed to surpass the global Rs 400 crore mark and is now eyeing the Rs 500 crore milestone in the coming days.
As of December 25, Sacnilk reported that the film has achieved a net collection of Rs 31.84 crore in the domestic market, bringing its total collection in India to Rs 240.94 crore. The overall occupancy in the Telugu market for the day stands at 59.16%, with morning shows recording 46.34% and rising impressively to 71.97% during afternoon showings. Salaar's performance seems to have been boosted by the Christmas holiday. It is visibly contributing to its stronger Monday showing.
