Netflix Top 10: Prabhas-Fronted 'Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire' Scored 1.5+ Million Views In The First Weekend

Mumbai, January 24 - Pan India superstar Prabhas-fronted action drama Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire scored a decent viewership on its Netflix debut after concluding the box office journey with over 600 crores gross worldwide. ## Directed by Prashanth Neel, "Salaar: Ceasefire" was made available to watch digitally on 20 January in South Indian languages, 28 days after the theatrical release. In the first two days, the movie scored 4.7 million viewing hours from 1.6 million views. ## It was the third most-watched non-English film worldwide on Netflix during the week of January 15 - January 21. While the numbers are decent, Netflix would have hoped for more considering the film's box-office performance. The viewership of "Salaar" is in the lines of any other mid-range Indian film on the streamer. ## "Salaar" is trending only in 4 countries in the top 10, including number 1 in India. This is another sign that the movie failed to reach wider audiences outside India and this was also reflected in its overseas box office performance as it grossed around 130 crores, which is less compared to most of the recent Pan India biggies. ## Stay tuned...
