I’m far from being an
#AlluArjun
fan, but I have to give him credit for one thing: he’s the only star to make multiple films with
#Trivikram
and still not have a single flop. He must be doing something right.
#Prabhas
, the biggest star in India, is bringing back the kind of mass hysteria that hasn’t been seen on an India-wide scale since the 1980s. In the age of easy access to content on streaming platforms, the mania for
#Salaar
shows that Prabhas is indisputably the
#1
Indian star.
Not even a single movie in 90’s able to do this .. last time I have seen this much crowd and km’s of long queue was for Shahenshah .. and that was at all india Level , not just for 2-3 states
#SRK
doesn’t care if he ruins distributors and exhibitors if it means that he benefits his own film
#Dunki
. The most selfish and insecure star in Indian cinema.
On the other hand you have
#Prabhas
who always wishes for everyone to succeed along with him.
#Salaar
mania incoming!
EXCLUSIVE: Manoj Desai THUNDERS as he’s not allowed to full-fledged open bookings for
#Dunki
and
#Salaar
: “Every time, there’s a clash, we get f****d… Koi
#ShahRukhKhan
ko bole yeh baat”
In 2017,
#NaturalStar
#Nani
created a record by becoming the 1st Tier 2 star to ever cross 30cr share in Nizam in a single year.
Now in 2023, Nani has created another record by becoming the 1st Tier 2 star to ever cross 35cr share in Nizam in a single year!
#Dasara
#HiNanna
@Kabir_SRK_fan
#Prabhas
is an established mass superstar who is the BAAP of mass performances & mannerisms.
#SRK
did a mass character for the first time in his career of 32 years, & you guys think his nonsense was better?
#Jawan
without
#Anirudh
’s BGM is horribly written nonsense. 😂
#Salaar
#3Idiots
&
#PK
worked so much due to
#AamirKhan
’s energetic & emotional performances. In 3 Idiots, you forget Aamir was in his early 40s when he played that role. In PK, he makes you empathize with an alien. That’s why he’s Mr. Perfectionist.
#SRK
shows no dedication in
#Dunki
.
People said
#Nani
would never score a hit as an oora mass character. He proved everyone wrong with
#Dasara
.
People said nobody will watch class movies in theaters anymore. Nani proved everyone wrong with
#HiNanna
, & did it while the mass mania of
#Animal
is still in full swing.
#HiNanna
’s openings once again re-affirm that
#Nani
is leagues above any other star classified as Tier 2 in terms of stardom. This movie had the lowest buzz of any of his films in the last 5 years, but still families are thronging to the theaters because of their trust in Nani.
If
#HiNanna
is able to cross the $2M mark in North America,
#Nani
would be creating a major record. He would become the 1st
#Telugu
star, & the 1st star from any film industry in Southern India, to score 2 $2M+ grossers in North America in the same year (
#Dasara
& Hi Nanna).
#Nani
’s
#HiNanna
&
#Prabhas
’s
#Salaar
. Two very different genres, but two masterpieces that are very brilliant theatrical experiences with high repeat value. One released at the beginning of the month, & one released at the end. For me, these are the two best films of 2023. ❤️🔥
@Fukkard
Now
#MaheshBabu
fans will be like: “Aa 433 shows anni repu family audience walk-ins tho fulls chesthaaru raa. Mahesh Babu family audience pull raa. Mahesh Babu mass pull raa.” 😂😂
#GunturKaaram
If the
#Nani
-
#Trivikram
combo actually happens, it’ll be sensational. Not only would this combo draw families to the theaters in record numbers, but knowing how carefully Nani chooses scripts, I am sure this would be the best Trivikram movie since
#Athadu
in terms of quality too.
Even after becoming the 1st Pan-India Superstar,
#Prabhas
never showed arrogance. He never took credit for his successes, & he never blamed directors or producers when he faced failures. He never shows any insecurity towards other stars. The Dinosaur will be back with
#Salaar
.
When
#Prabhas
’s
#Adipurush
was trolled relentlessly, not even one of the “unbiased”
#Telugu
websites raised their voices to defend Prabhas. Now when
#VijayDeverakonda
’s
#Kushi
is flopping despite these websites giving 3-3.5⭐️ ratings, they are all talking about ethics & morality.
@MahaanSRK
Now people will understand the value that Mr. Perfectionist
#AamirKhan
brought to
#RajkumarHirani
films. The hamming star
#SRK
plays himself in almost every film, and fails to truly live in most of his roles.
#Dunki
is another example. Aamir in
#3Idiots
&
#PK
nailed the emotions.
Acting in a mass film like
#Dasara
& a class film like
#HiNanna
in the same year. Making both with debut directors. Following them up with
#SaripodhaaSanivaaram
even though the director previously delivered a box office flop with him.
#Nani
’s trust in himself & his directors🔥👏.
@seeuatthemovie
In
#Jawan
,
#SRK
played SRK.
In
#Animal
,
#RanbirKapoor
played Ranvijay Singh Balbir.
SRK fans can hype him up as much as they want to, but the general audience knows that Ranbir as an actor has already surpassed SRK’s entire filmography.

Run ante idhe naa? 51% recovery in 4 days (70/135). AP barely hanging on, Nizam already crashed, Overseas crashed on Day 2 already. Double disaster ayyindhi

The worst part of
#Zero
was
#SRK
’s performance. His over the top hamming & cringe dialogue delivery made it the most torturous theatrical experience I’ve had. The only saving grace of that film was
#KatrinaKaif
’s performance, & the
#MereNaamTu
song.
#Dunki
seems to be even worse.
@FilmyFocus
A 1000cr budget would mean a breakeven mark of over 1100cr worldwide at the very least. The only chance for this film to breakeven would be
#Rajamouli
somehow convincing North America non-Indian background
#RRR
Netflix fans to go theaters in droves. MASSIVE risk for distributors.
@dtarun155
Doing a Telugu film with
#Rajamouli
was one thing, but agreeing to put five years of your career on a single film at a time the term “Pan-India film” didn’t exist, requires courage. The fact that no other Telugu star attempted a Pan-India film until 2021 shows Prabhas’s courage.
@king_sadashiva
If
#SRK
’s
#Dunki
had the kind of ticket rates that
#Prabhas
’s
#Salaar
has overseas, everybody will wait to watch SRK’s movies on OTT platforms. That’s why SRK has so stick to lower ticket rates for his films. He has no other option. You think that’s some kind of elevation. 😂🤦♂️
@ursniresh
#MaheshBabu
fans made fun of
#Prabhas
’s
#Salaar
X Roads Day 1 despite Salaar having only 3 screens. MB fans refused to accept that Salaar would’ve beat
#RRR
’s Nizam day 1 record with more screens. Here
#GunturKaaram
has 5 screens on day 1 but MB fans are throwing a tantrum. 😂🤦♂️
#HiNanna
was absolutely phenomenal I’m emotionally drained & soaked in tears. Story, acting &music took me through every emotion on the spectrum. Purest of romance overflowing in the 1st half & everything came together with so many beautiful layers & revelations in the 2nd 🤍🦮💐
Looking at the kind of lazy content being put out by
#PawanKalyan
&
#MaheshBabu
in the name of “vintage,” my respect for
#Prabhas
increased even further. Even in films that failed Prabhas tried to provide a high quality theatrical experience for the audience, not TikTok content.
@havinashcric
In the case of
#Baahubali
, this is immaterial because the film was written exclusively for
#Prabhas
. He got the project on merit, not luck. If you apply for a job & the HM chooses you because you’re the only candidate who fits all the qualifications, that is your skill, not luck.
#Nani
’s
#HiNanna
BO success will provide a morale boost to many filmmakers & actors. The impact of this success goes way beyond this one film; it proves that if you make a high quality film in any genre, the audience will come to theaters. Art & commerce do not have to be rivals.
Even producers are directly coming out and calling out
#SRK
’s corporate bookings. It is officially confirmed that the only genuine Pan-India blockbusters of 2023 are
#Prabhas
’s
#Salaar
&
#RanbirKapoor
’s
#Animal
.
#Pathaan
&
#Jawan
had humongous corporate booking & PR manipulation.

#RanbirKapoor

#Animal
For
#Prabhas
’s
#Salaar
, films voluntarily moved to make way for it. There wasn’t a single report of blackmail.
But for
#MaheshBabu
’s
#GunturKaaram
, the makers of a clashing film
#Hanuman
are openly coming out & saying they were blackmailed by the GK team.
Very big difference.
#Prabhas
’s comeback with
#Salaar
is not only the biggest of 2023, but also the most deserved. Even as he faced trolls for
#Saaho
,
#RadheShyam
, &
#Adipurush
, he never blamed directors or scolded the audience. He just focused on his work & kept a smile on his face. Inspirational.👏
@TheAakashavaani
Same thing happened on a smaller scale with
#KabirSingh
back in 2019. People were shocked by the weekday holds that the film had.
#SandeepReddyVanga
has captured the fascination of the youth audience. Amazingly with
#Animal
, this same weekday trend is being seen overseas as well.
@jigartwits
You
#SRK
fans are like bullies. You were happy to clash with
#BajiraoMastani
&
#Kaabil
because you thought they were easy targets to pick on. But like any bully, you tremble with fear when you have to face an opponent who you know is stronger than you, like
#Prabhas
’s
#Salaar
.
Sankranti is the one time of the year that 2-3 big budget films & 2-3 small-medium budget films can all release & do well.
#MaheshBabu
’s
#GunturKaaram
is a solo Tier 1 release for Sankranti, yet the team is still using dirty tricks to sideline
#Hanuman
. This is highly outrageous.
@Shah4900
The guy whose records your star still hasn’t been able to cross after 6 years. The guy who can create all time records in the north despite being from the south. The guy who’s going to thrash your star
#SRK
’s
#Dunki
with
#Salaar
on December 22nd.
#Prabhas
.
Watched
#Prabhas
’s
#Salaar
again in theaters & had an equally epic experience as the 1st time. The 1st half builds up Deva’s character slowly so that you are absorbed by the interval point. The second half has the best drama in any recent commercial film. Very high repeat value.

@GetsCinema
There is no need for postponement.
#Prabhas
’s
#Salaar
simply needs to maximize the best screens. It’s about quality (screens that are in areas that will get high occupancies), not about the quantity of screens. The Christmas season is huge & can easily accomodate many big films.
@CoolestVinaay
@hombalefilms
#AlluArjun
’s PR is blaming
#Salaar
because distributors are not willing to pay high prices for
#Pushpa2
’s rights.
#MaheshBabu
’s PR is blaming Salaar because nobody fears clashing with MB.
So basically the entire TFI is dependent on Prabhas. No other Tier 1 star has any stamina.
#Nani
’s stardom brought families to theaters despite the low buzz, & the brilliance of
#HiNanna
as a film makes it an instant classic, ensuring that the film will have a consistent & long run. When the combo of strong stardom & high quality content comes together, that’s Nani.
For the first time ever, I am seeing a group of people arguing that the movie with lower collections (
#Dunki
) is actually the clash winner, and that the movie with double the collections (
#Salaar
) is the clash loser.
#SRK
fans are truly just as insecure as their favorite star. 😂
@varsham214
You put
#Lokesh
over Neel after
#Leo
’s 2nd half. 😂
#PrashanthNeel
should be 1st on this since he’s the only one who managed to make his 2nd half better than the 1st half.
#Animal
’s 2nd half is good but inferior to the 1st half, & Leo’s 2nd half is 100% trash.
#Prabhas
#Salaar
@cinecorndotcom
Once again, it’s proved that
#MaheshBabu
has the weakest mass following of any Tier 1 star. If any other Tier 1 star was making a rural mass film with a star director like
#GunturKaaram
, that too as a solo Tier 1 Sankranti release, that film would’ve create a sensation in Ceded.
@AndhraBoxOffice
It’s ok. They will shift the screens to
#Salaar
themselves out of desperation once they see the record breaking collections
#Salaar
gets and the disastrous collections that
#Dunki
gets. This will all only make
#Prabhas
thrashing
#SRK
in this clash even more satisfying. 🔥😎
#AlluArjun
fans are so angry that
#Prabhas
crossed their favorite star’s career highest twice in the same year. At least for
#Adipurush
it took around a week, but with
#Salaar
, Prabhas crossed Allu Arjun’s career in the 1st weekend itself, that too in a 3-way clash. 😂
@MilagroMovies
Distributors should not pay this much. OS 97cr breakeven means
#AlluArjun
’s
#Pushpa2
needs 97cr distributor’s share in overseas to breakeven, which is around 200cr gross (~$24M). Andhra 100cr is idiotic after seeing how rarely even blockbuster films break even in Andhra nowadays.
