Prabhas is turning back the clock—and the box office—thanks to the re-release of his 2010 cult favorite Darling. The film has already crossed the double-digit mark globally within days, proving that its charm hasn’t faded one bit. Despite a few recent big-budget films not living up to expectations, this romantic comedy is showing just how strong his fan base still is.
Looking at past re-releases, the numbers make this comeback even more impressive. Prabhas’s previous re-release, Salaar, had earned around ₹4.35 crore worldwide during its full run. In comparison, Darling has comfortably outperformed that figure in a very short time.
Darling Re-Release Box Office
In just three days, Darling has raked in ₹10.44 crore worldwide—about 140% higher than Salaar’s total re-release earnings. It has also gone past Khaleja starring Mahesh Babu, becoming the second highest-grossing Telugu re-release ever. The only film ahead of it now is the massive Baahubali: The Beginning.
Entry Into The Top 10 (South India)
The film’s success isn’t limited to Telugu cinema alone. Darling has now entered the list of the highest-grossing South Indian re-releases, currently sitting at the sixth spot. With the momentum it’s building, it could climb even higher in the days ahead.
