While the film has got a mixed response from fans, there was a growth on the Eid holiday on Monday when compared to the Sunday numbers. Sikandar Movie Review

Growth on Eid and day 3 estimates
While obviously, these numbers are not at par with the other Salman movies, many shows were houseful on Eid. There was growth on Monday as the film made Rs 29 crore on Day 2. The film has been performing well in Mumbai and some other circuits like Delhi. But in Gujarat, Bhopal and other theatres, many shows have been cancelled due to low demand. On day 3, the film is expected to hit double digit numbers but it may be lower than the Monday numbers. Up till Tuesday afternoon, the collection was Rs 6.88 Crore.

‘Sikandar’ box office collection day 3 (Live): Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna’s film faces a major drop after the Eid holiday; mints only Rs.19.5 crore on its first Tuesday

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's film 'Sikandar,' starring Rashmika Mandanna, opened to mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office. Despite the Eid holiday, early online leaks affected its performance, resulting in a total collection of Rs. 74.5 crore in three days. 'Sikandar' failed to surpass Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhaava' at the box office.


Thus, the collection of the movie so far is Rs 61.88 crore till Tuesday afternoon. The film has been performing well in some Hindi belt mass circuits. In multiplexes of south Mumbai like PRV Inox, Nariman Point and Metro Inox, the night shows have been cancelled and these shows are replaced with John Abraham starrer 'The Diplomat'.
Competition from 'Chhaava' and 'The Diplomat'

Sikandar is facing a tough competition still from 'Chhaava' which has now completed 45 days at the box office. Meanwhile, John Abraham starrer 'The Diplomat' is also pulling in audience in some parts due to positive word of mouth.


With Rs 26 crore on Day 1, 'Sikandar' is Salman Khan's second lowest Eid opener after 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan', expected to see growth on day 2

Salman Khan's 'Sikandar' had an anticipated release but opened at Rs 26 crore, significantly lower than trade expectations. Despite increased ticket prices and favorable release timing, it marked the second lowest Eid opening for a Salman film. Eid numbers on day 2 could determine its box office trajectory.


Daywise collection of Sikandar:


Day 1 [1st Sunday] ₹ 26 Cr -

Day 2 [1st Monday] ₹ 29 crore

Day 3 [1st Tuesday] ₹ 14.58 Cr
