Overview:
Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire is a 2023 Indian multilingual action drama directed by Prashanth Neel, best known for his work on the KGF franchise. Produced by Vijay Kiragandur under the Hombale Films banner, this epic saga marks Neel’s debut in Telugu cinema and stars Prabhas in a powerful lead role. The film was also released in Hindi and other regional languages.
Set in a fictional and militaristic city-state called Khansaar, the film explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and power. The central narrative revolves around Deva (played by Prabhas), a former prince in exile, who is summoned back by his childhood friend Vardha (played by Prithviraj Sukumaran) to help him reclaim his rightful place in a kingdom torn by political unrest.
Story Summary:
The film begins in 1985 in the fiercely guarded city-state of Khansaar. Deva and Vardha are childhood friends with unbreakable bonds. When Vardha’s father, Raja Mannar, orders the massacre of a rival tribe, Deva and his mother become targets. Vardha saves them, but Deva is forced into exile after promising to return when called upon.
Fast forward to 2017—Deva, now living in Assam with his mother, is pulled back into the vortex of Khansaar’s political chaos when a young woman named Aadhya is kidnapped. What follows is a violent unraveling of Khansaar's secrets and power struggles. As Vardha seeks Deva's support to claim the throne and establish a ceasefire, multiple forces conspire against them—including Vardha’s own family and rival clans.
The film also dives deep into the history of Khansaar, its tribal origins, and the constitutional laws laid down to prevent civil unrest. Over time, betrayals are exposed, alliances are forged in blood, and the bond between Deva and Vardha is tested to its limits.
