Online cinema ticketing portal, Book My Show has recently introduced a new feature where we can see the number of tickets sold for a film in the last hour. Since the introduction of this feature, no film could touch the 100K bookings per hour mark in all over India.
But this time around, Salaar appears to be on course for the mighty milestone and it has something to do with PVR.
After a round of tussle with PVR regarding screen sharing up North, Salaar has sorted things out today, one day ahead of the release. The bookings for Salaar in PVR properties in Hyderabad will be commencing any minute now.
Once all the PVR screens open in Hyderabad, there will certainly be a mad rush for the tickets. Pair that with the bookings at INOX which has also opened just now. there is a good chance that Salaar could hit the 100K bookings per hour in India mark.
As we type this, Salaar has touched 25K tickets per hour. The number will pick up after PVR opens bookings, but will the surge be enough to propel it to 100K? We shall see.
Salaar has reportedly sold 30 lakh tickets in single screens across India till now. All eyes are now on the big surge that will come once PVR theaters opens the bookings.
