00:00 Salar's creator made a brave decision about the release of this film which along with

00:07 Dunky has been making headlines since last week.

00:11 The most awaited collaboration of Rajkumar Hirani and Shahrukh Khan, Dunky, will release

00:17 on December 21, whereas Prashant Neel's Salar, Part 1, starring Prabhas, will serve to audience

00:24 on December 22.

00:27 Many have criticized the decision of Prashant Neel to release the film with SRK's Dunky

00:33 and many have called it a courageous decision.

00:36 Looking at the previous scenarios, Salar will face a major setback in front of Dunky and

00:42 now the real race has started when it comes to getting theaters for the movies.

00:47 Salar, a film by KGF's maker, that is a film under the banner of Homeable Films, will start

00:55 struggling to get screens and there are multiple reasons for it.

00:59 Let's look at it step by step.

01:01 Salar is releasing at the wrong time.

01:04 There is no need to make this film clash with Dunky.

01:07 If the makers had decided to release it on the occasion of New Year, that would have

01:12 made some sense.

01:13 Salar is a Telugu film.

01:15 Though there has not been any bias between North and South now, Bollywood is still ahead

01:21 of the regional film industry and so are the Bollywood stars.

01:26 Shah Rukh Khan has a huge fan following and secondly, the success of his previous movies.

01:32 The SRK's opener film of this year, Pathan, created a challenge for other movies by becoming

01:38 the first Bollywood to cross Rs. 100 crore on its first day worldwide.

01:44 But later in September, King Khan's other movie, Jawaan, broke the record of his previous

01:50 film by earning Rs. 129 crore worldwide on its first day.

01:55 Well, about the credibility of this box office figures, it's still a big question.

02:01 But the massive success Shah Rukh Khan has gotten clearly says that Dunky will be another

02:06 hit movie of the year.

02:08 But if we talk about Prabhas, after Bhaubali 2, The Conclusion, released in 2017, his graph

02:15 has fallen.

02:16 His later released movies like Saaho and Adi Purush were all major flops at the box office.

02:23 And it's general observation that if an actor has had a flop movie before, his next movie

02:29 generally doesn't get the expected rush.

02:32 Hence there are chances that people will choose Dunky over Salar.

02:36 Now if we consider the exhibitors' math, they will definitely go for the film where

02:41 they see business.

02:42 Dunky is going to get them benefits which Salar can't.

02:47 The system of pre-booking the theatres adds onto this.

02:50 Bollywood big stars, big filmmakers and their so-called big films pre-book the theatres.

02:57 So this can ultimately create an obstacle for Salar to get screens.

03:01 Though both films are pan-India films, people easily accept Bollywood over anything.

03:08 Thus, the struggle has started.

03:10 Salar will face a troublesome situation to get theatres.

03:14 And what if makers decided to postpone its release?
