Superstar Salman Khan is gearing up for his next big-screen spectacle as director Apoorva Lakhia’s Galwan War drama Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace officially locks its theatrical release date for December 4, 2026. However, the announcement has set off intense buzz, creating a high-stakes box office showdown with Shraddha Kapoor’s biographical drama Eetha on the very same day!
Salman Khan’s Unbroken Legacy At The Box Office!
While a high-profile December clash always generates high-voltage interest, the film might miss a personal milestone for Salman Khan owing to this intense clash! Ever since 2010, the superstar has built an unbroken legacy at the domestic box office, maintaining a streak of 18 consecutive films crossing the 100 crore net milestone in India!
With screen counts and show allocations set to be divided between Maatrubhumi and Eetha, one critical question stands unanswered for now: Will the clash disrupt Salman Khan’s legendary 18-film streak, or will his stardom carry Maatrubhumi past the 100 crore mark once again, for the 19th time?

18 Consecutive 100 Crore Net Films By Salman Khan!
The last time a Salman Khan-led vehicle failed to cross the 100 crore net benchmark in India was the 2010 period action drama Veer. Since Dabangg in September 2010, the superstar has delivered 18 consecutive 100 crore+ net grossers, establishing an untouched record in Indian cinema!
With Maatrubhumi clashing with Dinesh Vijan’s Eetha, the two films will face a tight screen split. While Maatrubhumi will command mass single screens across North India, Eetha will hold strong multiplex visibility across Maharashtra, West, and Central India.
Maatrubhumi operates as an intense, emotional war drama based on the Galwan confrontation, appealing to mass action-drama audiences. Eetha features Shraddha Kapoor as the legendary folk artist Vithabai Narayangaonkar, coming right off her historic Stree 2 wave.
The 100 Crore Math For Maatrubhumi
Even in a divided release environment, Salman Khan‘s minimum floor during non-holiday/clash periods has consistently remained above 110 crore, as seen with Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan at 110 crore and Sikandar at 129.95 crore. But this is almost at the border of the 100 crore mark, and with Eetha clashing, it would be a difficult number to touch!
With a box office run that has not dipped below 110 crore net across his last 18 consecutive releases over 16 years, Maatrubhumi needs only a steady mass hold to comfortably extend Salman Khan’s record-shattering streak to 19 consecutive 100 crore films!
