Two of India's biggest stars, Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas, are about to lock horns at the box office. Dunki, Shah Rukh's comedy adventure, and Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire, Prabhas' dark action flick, are gearing up for a December showdown.

Advance bookings are roaring for both films. Dunki leads the charge with an impressive ₹7.36 crore opening day collection, fueled by 2.5 lakh tickets sold across India. Salaar follows closely behind with ₹6 crore, with Hindi and Telugu shows driving the initial enthusiasm.

Dunki is released in Hindi, boasts diverse locations and a promising ensemble cast including Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal. A new song launched by Shah Rukh added fuel to the fire, showcasing his chemistry with Taapsee and intriguing glimpses of the film's global narrative.

Salaar, directed by KGF's Prashanth Neel, promises a gritty world full of action and revenge. Prabhas plays the titular character alongside Shruti Haasan and Prithviraj Sukumaran. A new trailer unveiled this week, highlighting the film's violent underbelly, further stoked anticipation.

With both films boasting strong pre-release buzz and diverse offerings, the clash of Dunki and Salaar promises to be truly epic. Which one will reign supreme at the box office? December 21st and 22nd will tell the tale.
