After Adipurush, Radhe Shyam, and Saaho, fans have been waiting with bated breath to see Prabhas's next film. And to everyone's surprise, Salaar received a thundering response.

Salaar gets mixed response

Taking to X, previously known as Twitter, social media users are praising Prabhas for his performance.

A user wrote, "#Prabhas as Deva excels in this relentless rollercoaster of adrenaline-pumping action film. #PrashanthNeel transcends the boundaries of the typical action genre, delivering a blend of fights & elevations. After securing hat-trick blockbusters, the director has managed to continue his success streak with Salaar Cease Fire."

Another mentioned, "Prabhas is Hotness on Top & his acting is very good. Unanimous Positive Response from North India. Paisa Vasool.."

The third one said, "#Prabhas and Prithviraj Bromance comedy scenes. After a brutal bloodbath scene, Prabhas saying Sorry Sorry. "

The fourth user, "Prabhas his swag is a superpower. He is a superhero. Salaar the blockbuster has arrived Salaar Cease Fire."

While a section of netizens were highly disappointed.

A user said, "Worst Film of The Year. #Salaar  . Worst Screen Play Ever. Direction is bad too. Black Scenes only."

A movie page mentioned, "The movie's repetitive storyline, revolving around friends turning into enemies, fails to bring anything fresh to the table. Drawing inspiration from the original flop Ugramm movie doesn't do it any favours, as it feels like a recycled attempt. Prabhas struggles to convey genuine emotion, and his performance falls flat. Prashant Neel's direction leans heavily on forced scenes, contributing to an illogical and nonsensical narrative. Overall, a disappointing remake that lacks the depth and creativity needed to engage the audience."

The next one averred, "It's Better to watch KGF2 or BAHUBALI 2 on OTT instead of watching Salaar in the theatre."

Salaar box-office estimate

In Andhra Pradesh, the movie is expected to collect ₹13.22 crore, and in Telangana, it is estimated to collect ₹17.35 crore. In the Hindi-speaking states, the movie has sold over 22,000 tickets, according to the data from Sacnilk.

Additionally, the movie has sold over 16 lakh tickets in Telugu-speaking states.

The movie is estimated to collect over ₹38 crore in Telugu-speaking states, ₹2.21 crore in Malayalam-speaking states and over ₹5 crore in Hindi-speaking states
