Salman Khan-Rashmika Mandanna Starrer Struggles to Maintain Momentum Post Eid Weekend
Salman Khan’s highly anticipated film Sikandar, which hit theatres on Eid (March 30), witnessed a noticeable decline on its fourth day at the box office. Despite high initial expectations, the movie has experienced mixed reactions from audiences and critics alike, impacting its performance.
Fourth Day Earnings Indicate a Steep Drop
According to early estimates reported by Sacnilk, Sikandar collected around ₹9.75 crore domestically on its fourth day (Wednesday). This significant drop follows an opening weekend that initially promised a strong showing, but the momentum has now clearly waned.
Here’s the day-wise box office breakdown for Sikandar:
-
Day 1 (Friday): ₹26 crore
-
Day 2 (Saturday): ₹29 crore
-
Day 3 (Sunday): ₹19.5 crore
-
Day 4 (Monday): ₹9.75 crore (early estimate)
With this, Sikandar’s total box office collection now stands at approximately ₹84.25 crore.
Salman-Rashmika Pairing Attracts Attention but Fails to Sustain Buzz
Sikandar features superstar Salman Khan alongside popular South actress Rashmika Mandanna, marking their first collaboration. The fresh pairing initially excited fans, yet it has seemingly failed to sustain interest past its opening weekend. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker AR Murugadoss, known for blockbuster hits like Ghajini with Aamir Khan, Sikandar combines high-octane action sequences with emotional storytelling. Despite these promising elements, the movie has not yet achieved the anticipated ₹100 crore milestone.
Alongside Salman and Rashmika, the film features notable performances from Prateik Babbar, Sathyaraj, and Sharman Joshi, who have added depth to the film’s narrative.
Will Sikandar Reach the ₹100 Crore Club?
While the weekday collections have shown a sharp decline, industry experts believe the film may see some revival in numbers over the upcoming weekend. Salman Khan’s loyal fanbase remains hopeful, but the journey towards the ₹100 crore club now seems tougher than initially anticipated.
