For the 1st weekend, Dunki has estimates around 210Cr Gross worldwide and Prabhas’s Salaar has estimated to collect around 315Cr worldwide. Dunki vs Salaar box office collection estimates are out.

Definitely we cannot compare both films’ numbers to declare one as the winner because Salaar is a proper pan India film and Dunki is a proper Hindi film. So there is no clash between Dunki and Salaar in other languages. Dunki vs Salaar box office collection estimates are out.

The clash between Salaar and Dunki is only in Hindi. In Hindi, Dunki collected 210Cr Gross worldwide and Salaar Hindi version has collected around 70Cr Gross worldwide. Dunki has collected 3 times bigger than Salaar, even this does not mean Dunki is a box office winner as the numbers are not such big.

According to the trade point of view, both the films have underperformed at the box office for the first weekend and there is no winner at this time. We must wait to see how both the movies will trend over the coming days to decide the actual winner. If both movies do not take the momentum on weekdays then both films will end as failures, so there will be no winner will be in this much anticipated clash.

Venkatesh is in talks for Neru’s Telugu remake. The latest reports in Tollywood circles suggest that Victory Venkatesh will appear in a remake. Neru was released in Malayalam on the 21st of this month. Despite the competition of big films like Salaar and Dunki, it has become successful and is receiving appreciation. Venkatesh is in talks for Neru’s Telugu remake.

The film is a courtroom drama with complete actor Mohanlal in the lead; the way a gripping screenplay drives it has impressed the audience. The collections are solid. Jeethu Joseph directs Neru. The creator of the Drishyam Series created a new genre called the family crime thriller. The records it has created are still unbeatable in most centers in Kerala.

Though he did not direct the first part of the Telugu remake, he took charge of Drishyam 2. Since then, Venkatesh has developed a good friendship with him. Currently, preparations are underway to launch Drishyam 3 with Mohanlal. However, there still needs to be clarity on whether Venky will do it here; reports have emerged about Venkatesh starring in the remake of Neru.

Currently, Venkatesh is busy with the promotions of Saindhav and has reportedly enquired about the success of Neru with his team, promising to watch it. Venkatesh is in talks for Neru’s Telugu remake. 

If Venky likes the film, there is a possibility of him doing the remake. No one has Neru’s dubbing rights as of now. The production house has retained the rights as the content is strong enough to be remade. The limited number of shows in Hyderabad are getting full, and it is clear that people here also connect with the film’s content. 

Neru is made up with the point of how a lawyer helped in the process of capturing the culprits who raped a visually impaired girl. Although the line seems simple, the screenplay goes on without relaxing. Undoubtedly, if Venkatesh does, the audience will like it.

If Lal Salaam is delayed, there will be plenty of theaters in Tamil Nadu for other films. However, many movies are getting released in Telugu, making it hard for Tamil films to reach theaters in Telugu-speaking states during the Pongal/Sankranthi season.

It is widely known that Dunki Shah Rukh Khan’s third film this year was released on December 21St and opened to a decent response from the audiences and critics. Surprisingly, Dunki takes three days to surpass Jawan’s opening day numbers.

Dunki’s Three days total is equal to Jawan’s one Day

Jawan collected 129Cr Gross on its opening day, Shah Rukh Khan’s previous release. The film also stands as the Highest Grosser of Indian Cinema this year. As said above, it is surprising that Dunki took three days to cross the number of Jawan. 

For 3 days, Dunki has collected 157Cr gross. There is no need for Dunki to manage 1000Cr like Jawan and Pathaan as it is not a big budget film but taking 3 days to cross opening day with a great combo of Rajkumar Hirani and Shah Rukh Khan is a disappointing thing even for the fans. Dunki takes three days to surpass Jawan’s opening day numbers.

Dunki – Crucial two days ahead

Opinion: Salaar makers should think of reducing Ticket prices

0

Salaar makers should think of reducing Ticket prices in Telugu States. It is widely known that Hombale Films, the production house of Salaar, has applied for a ticket hike and got permission from both the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments. While in Telangana, the ticket prices are hiked very high, in Andhra, the low-class ticket prices are very high, which is stopping the audiences from holding back from watching the movie.

Salaar getting affected by High Ticket Prices

Salaar makers should consider reducing the prices starting Tuesday as these high prices are risky during the weekdays. Recently, many films that had an excellent weekend failed to have decent numbers during weekdays. Salaar makers should think of reducing ticket prices.

The film Salaar, released on December 28th, is performing exceptionally well on a weekend in Telugu States, and to hold the same momentum, it is better to decrease ticket prices.

Prashanth Neel directed Salaar released worldwide amidst massive celebrations and hype and has managed to build solid numbers in Telugu states. While the worldwide box-office performance has been satisfactory, in Telugu States the film is suffering a bit because of the ticket prices. That is why Salaar makers should think of reducing Ticket prices in Telugu States.

Salaar Cast and Crew

The film stars Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead roles and is directed by KGF director Prashanth Neel. Earlier, it was reported that Salaar will be made in two parts. The first is titled ‘Salar- Ceasefire,’ and the second is ‘Salaar – Shauryanga Parvam.’ 

Prabhas played the character of Deva/ Salaar, while Prithviraj Sukumaran was seen as Varada Raja Mannar, Jagapathi Babu as Rajamannar and Shruti Haasan as Aadhya. Salaar Part One was released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and many other languages.
