After a long wait, Salaar finally hits the theatres. Helmed by KGF fame Prashant Neel and headlines by Prabhas, the film has been one of the most-anticipated films of 2023 ever since it was announced. Co-starring Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, and Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film raised eyebrows when they slated its release for December 22, marking a clash with Dunki. Starring Shah Rukh Khan and helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, Dunki was released yesterday, i.e., on Dec 21.
While this is touted to be one of the biggest clashes, it would be interesting to see who will lead the race at the box office. Since its release in the morning, it’s received positive reviews from critics and audiences. Many have even titled it as the ‘most violent film’ of the year.
