The first weekend of Salaar will be the fifth or sixth highest of all time depending on if it comes over or under Animal. The four films which are ahead of it are Baahubali 2, RRR, KGF 2 and Jawan.
Salaar saw a growth of 10 per cent at the Indian box office yesterday, amassing Rs. 68.50 crore approx, which puts its first weekend at just over Rs. 226 crore. The first weekend or first three days' number will be the fifth or sixth highest of all time depending on if it comes over or under Animal. The four films which are ahead of it are Baahubali 2, RRR, KGF 2 and Jawan.
On Sunday, the film saw collections growing in Andhra Pradesh and North India, while Telangana and Tamil Nadu remained largely flat. Karnataka and Kerala saw a drop, which is fine for Karnataka because Bengaluru city often drops on Sunday but the drop in Kerala isn’t a good sign for the film’s prospects there.

Friday: Rs. 95.25 crore
Saturday: Rs. 62.50 crore

The best performance for the film has come in Nizam, where it is second only to RRR (Rs. 66.50 crore), with Rs. 58.50 crore.
