New Delhi: 'Salaar: Part 1-Ceasefire', helmed by Prashanth Neel, the director of KGF 2, is presently running in theaters. Prithviraj Sukumaran, Prabhas, and Shruti Haasan play the main leads in the film. Early in the morning, moviegoers rushed to theaters to see first-day screenings and share their views about the movie on social media. 

Trade expert Sumit Kadel took to Twitter and wrote, “#Salaar is a MASS BONANZA which has #PrashanthNeel Signature Stamped all over it. Film starts slow but end on a High Note with a Good Interval block though real game starts from the second half when twists in the screenplay unfold. Last 1 HR is EXTRAORDINARY that has some crazy Elevation Scenes which’ll get electrifying response in theatres [sequence where Prabhas saved a girl is a goosebumps inducing stuff] Film climax is the major highlight which paved the way for Salaar Part-2.”

Here is what fans are saying:

Yes sir ... #Salaar is WASTE OF MONEY ... #Dunki was actually the BEST FILM ... #SalaarReview #DunkiReview...

After KGF many tried with same pattern and failed, irony is even #PrashanthNeel tried same pattern and failed. Hence proved those are Once in a life time hits. Should not try same thing again.#Salaar #SalaarReview #SalaarCeaseFire https://t.co/g4FZAucbPd

Disappointment: 2.5/5

Striking VFX,intense action & #Prabhas shine, but the film falters without a compelling story. A missed opportunity with a script that lacks depth,leaving characters without justification & Irritating BGM.Falls short of expectations. #SALAAR #SalaarReview pic.twitter.com/Pv4NE4vr4z
