Prabhas’ Birthday re-releases at the box office
The exact figures have not been revealed, but as per Track Tollywood, the films made an average box office collection. There remained little curiosity around the old films. With a moderate occupancy and limited houseful shows, Salaar, Mr. Perfect, and Eeswar remained underwhelming in Indian theatres.
The trend of re-releases in South cinema began after Murari smashed records at the box office. It was the highest-grosser among South re-releases. But Pawan Kalyan‘s Gabbar Singh later stole the top spot, which surpassed the Mahesh Babu starrer on its opening day.
Unfortunately, Prabhas’ stardom failed to achieve these milestones.
