Jawan Salaar and Leo might make 2023 the glory year for Indian cinema. If experts on social media are to be believed then Salaar is all set for a historic opening. After Baahubali, Prabhas has cemented his place as a top pan-India star. Salazar has crossed the half-a-million mark at the US box office already. There are still 30 days plus to go for the official US premiere of the movie. Prabhas’ fans are booking seats in many cities for the first day first show of Salaar. The excitement is huge as Salaar is made by KGF hitmaker Prashanth Neel. It is said the screenplay of the two movies is a lot similar
Well, this sounds very ambitious but does not look impossible. Salaar is apparently eyeing Rs 70 crores plus just in the Telugu-speaking states. Though it tanked after an initial blitzkrieg, Adipurush made Rs 133 crores worldwide on the opening day. This was despite considerable criticism of the VFX quality, pairing of Prabhas-Kriti Sanon, and whatnot. Fans are predicting that Salazar will open at close to Rs 200 crores worldwide on an opening day.
This is not all. Fans are even saying that the Indian film industry can make up to Rs 2,000 to 2,500 crores at the box office in the second half of 2023 if Jawan, Salaar, and Leo click as per estimates. Shah Rukh Khan’s actioner Pathaan made a day one box office worldwide total of Rs 106 crores. It made Rs 36 crores overseas, which was a record for Bollywood. Rajinikanth’s Jailer made Rs 72 crores on day one combined of domestic and overseas
