At the end of the first day of the release of Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles, the makers had announced that the film earned Rs 178.7 crores at the global box office.

The much-hyped action-drama film broke the records of Animal, Pathaan, Jawan, Leo, Jailer, and Master and has become the only Indian Film to achieve the feat.

Our CE review of the film read, “In KGF, we saw Rocky Bhai first, and Yash later. In Salaar, we know it is a Prabhas vehicle, and unlike the past couple of films, the actor looks comfortable in the front. But make no mistake, it is Prashanth who firmly plonks himself in the driver’s seat manoeuvering Salaar through cliches, familiarity, and bloody violence to give a first part that wonderfully sets up the second.”

The film, produced by Hombale Films, also stars Shruti Haasan, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Easwari Rao, Sriya Reddy, Jagapathi Babu, Madhu Guruswamy, Ramachandra Raju, Garuda Ram, and Tinnu Anand, among others.

Salaar: Part 1- Ceasefire is a Kannada-Telugu bilingual, with simultaneous releases in Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam as well. Ravi Basrur composed the film’s music, with cinematography by Bhuvan Gowda, editing by Ujwal Kulkarni and production design by Shivakumar and TL Venkatachalapathi.
