Directed by Faruk Kabir and written by Srinivas Abrol, the series features a notable cast of Naveen Kasturia, Mouni Roy, and Mukesh Rishi in lead roles. Netizens Reactions Social media platforms are abuzz with reactions, with fans praising Salaar for its bold experimentation and gripping action, while others criticise it for its lack of originality and emotional depth. One user wrote, 'One of #Salaar's greatest qualities is that, in addition to being an experimental action film that succeeded, it also avoided needless drama, a love story, a mass song, and other useless aspects. Simple and flawlessly crafted drama action film. #Prabhas's desire to experiment & create trends in this way is nothing new.'

The movie's repetitive storyline, revolving around friends turning into enemies, fails to bring anything fresh to the table. Drawing inspiration from the original flop Ugramm movie doesn't do it any favors, as it feels like a recycled attempt. Prabhas struggles to convey genuine emotion, and his performance falls flat. Prashant Neel's direction leans heavily on forced scenes, contributing to an illogical and nonsensical narrative. Overall, a disappointing remake that lacks the depth and creativity needed to engage the audience..' #SalaarReview One World Review :- DISASTER Rating:-½ [ DISAPPOINTED] It's Better to watch KGF2 or BAHUBALI 2 on OTT instead watching salaar in theatre..
