Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas are all set for a box office battle with Dunki Vs Salaar. While the former will be released on December 21, the latter will arrive in theaters a day later on December 22. Interestingly, the respective advance booking numbers overseas for the opening day offer an interesting trend. Prabhas is definitely aiming for a 100+ crore opening.
The Baahubali actor is ruling the overseas market for sure and seems to be ahead in this clash of the titans. Currently, Prabhas is promising a 100+ crore start. With the numbers of only four markets, he stands at $1.55 Million advance booking.
According to a detailed report by trade analyst Nishit Shaw, Salaar has currently collected $1.13 million from the North American territory. While the beast is beasting already, he has registered $210K from the UK, $75K from the Middle East, and $135K from the Australian region.

While the superstar has collected around $1.55 million from these four territories, he is assuring a 100+ crore worldwide opening for Salaar. This will be the fourth 100+ crore opening for Prabhas.
Prabhas’ 100 Crore Opening Grossers
The superstar has registered his first 100+ crore opening with Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which was a 213 crore opener! The second-highest opening film ever and the highest for Prabhas. His second-highest 100+ crore opener was Adipurush, which collected 140 crore worldwide on Day 1. The third 100-crore opener is Saaho, which collected 126 crore worldwide on the opening day.
Dunki’s Overseas Advance Booking
Coming to Shah Rukh Khan’s Rajkumar Hirani film, which is aiming at a $3 Million opening worldwide, it is slowly and steadily picking up pace. What else would one expect from the King of overseas? Dunki has collected $250K from North American territory. This is followed by the Middle East’s $80K. Next in line comes the UK region, where Dunki has collected $75K in advance booking for the opening day. Australian region has registered a pre-sale of $65K, and Europe is expected to collect $55K for the opening day.
Overall, Dunki has collected $525K from five markets for the opening day already. This pre-sale might be much lower than Salaar, which currently seems to dominate this battle, but considering that Shah Rukh Khan is the King of overseas, tables might turn anytime soon!
