Prabhas' Salaar is unstoppable at the box office. Directed by Prashanth Neel, the film hit the silver screen on December 22.

According to early estimates by Sacnilk, the day 10 collection of Dunki is estimated to be ₹9.25 crore while the day 9 collection of Salaar is around ₹12.50 crore.

We are here to entertain the audience. We are not here to compete amongst ourselves," Neel told the entertainment portal. He stated that it is not a cricket match that is being played.
