Prabhas Salaar: The saga of Hombale Films’ ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire’ continues to be in the news across the globe. Directed by Prashanth Neel, the film has not only won the hearts of the audience but has also dominated the box office with its spectacular collections. After grossing 700 crores in India, the Prabhas starrer has now created a new record by achieving the third-highest opening of an Indian film in Japan.
Prabhas Salaar is the third-highest opener in Japan
‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire’ is a new box office bomb in Japan. The film, which released in Japan on July 5, has earned 18.22 million Japanese Yen (113 thousand US dollars) in its opening week across around 200 locations. Notably, this is the third-highest opening of an Indian film in recent times, trailing only RRR (JPY 45 million) and Saaho (JPY 23 million). From its opening weekend, the film has added around JPY 5 million on Monday and Tuesday, taking its total to JPY 23 million (USD 142K) so far. The first week is expected to reach around JPY 28 million.
This time, the release was quite wide, so a strong opening was expected. However, Japan is a market that cannot be judged by just one weekend or a week. Films often have a long run and their trends can be unpredictable.

The world of Khansaar has attracted global audiences and they are all excited about it. The film gives the audience a surprise that sets the perfect stage for the sequel ‘Salaar Part 2: Shouryanga Parvam’.
