[tps_footer]Salman Khan‘s latest release ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ could not cross the overseas record set by his previous film ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’. The film that released on Diwali performed great in areas like US, UK, Canada and Australia among others but is below in the race ranking 5th. Compared to his previous release ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ with director Kabir Khan, despite the Diwali factor ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ could not obtain the same reach overseas. The film is going strong nonetheless both in India and overseas.

Taking an overall total of areas like US/Canada, UK, Gulf countries and Australia, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ managed to collect $6,700,000 net approx (Rs. 44.34 crores approx) while ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ currently stands at $6,050,000 net approx (Rs. 40 crores approx). Both the films released this year and thus there is not much difference in the dollar rupee rate thus eliminating that factor during comparisons.
