Dunki vs Salaar advance box office: Shah Rukh Khan’s comedy drama has clear upper-hand over Prabhas’ epic actioner, leads by over Rs 1 crore

Salaar’s advance booking business is predominantly led by its Telugu version, generating Rs 3.5 crore. Meanwhile, its Hindi version gained momentum on Monday, increasing ticket sales to 36,097 and earning Rs 1.1 crore. In the case of the Malayalam version of Salaar, 65,809 tickets (Rs 98 lakh) have been sold for 905 shows so far, while the film’s Tamil and Kannada versions have seen sales of 9,446 tickets (Rs 12 lakh) and 4,673 tickets (Rs 9.9 lakh), respectively.

Dunki marks Shah Rukh Khan’s third release this year, following the tremendous success of Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan and Atlee Kumar’s Jawan, both of which earned over Rs 1,000 crore globally. In the case of Prabhas, whose last few releases failed to create any impact at the box office, Salaar holds significant importance as it is anticipated to mark his triumphant comeback.

Centred around the concept of Donkey Flight, an unconventional method for gaining entry into countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States of America, Hirani’s Dunki also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, and Vikram Kochhar in key roles. Apart from Prabhas and Prithviraj, Neel’s Salaar also features Shruti Hassan, Jagapathi Babu, Bobby Simha, and Tinnu Anand.
