This is the first film of Salman Khan and National Crush Rashmika Mandanna. The audience was very excited to see this film. However, Sikandar Day 1 Box Office collections were not as much as expected,according to the initial figures, this film could not make it to the list of Salman’s top 10 opening collection films on the first day.
According to the report, Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ collected around Rs 26 crore at the Indian box office on the first day. This figure is less than some of Salman Khan’s previous blockbuster films. However, due to its release on the occasion of Eid, the film is expected to benefit in the coming days.
‘Sikander’ fails to beat box office hits
Salman Khan’s top 10 opening films are topped by ‘Tiger 3’ (2023), which had a tremendous opening collection of Rs 44.50 crore. The list is followed by ‘Bharat’ (2019) with a collection of Rs 42.30 crore, ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ (2015) with a collection of Rs 40.35 crore and ‘Sultan’ (2016) with a collection of Rs 36.54 crore.

According to film trade analysts, Salman Khan’s films usually earn more during weekends and holidays. Since ‘Sikander’ has released on the occasion of Eid, its collection may see a big jump over the weekend.
Audience opinion about the film was mixed. The audience liked the pairing of Salman and Rashmika, but some viewers have given an average response to the story and screenplay of the film. The action sequences and songs of the film are being praised on social media, but some viewers are not considering it as strong as Salman’s previous blockbuster films. Now it will be interesting to see how fast ‘Sikandar’ progresses at the box office in the coming days. Its real test will begin after the weekend and Eid holidays. If the response of the audience is positive, then the film can make tremendous collections in the coming days. Salman’s fans are hopeful that ‘Sikandar’ will pick up its pace and create new history at the box office.
