Sikandar Box Office Day 3: Salman Khan's "Sikandar" is currently performing exceptionally well at the box office.

Salman Khan's fan following and star power are clearly evident in the box office success.
Sikandar Surpasses KGF 2 on its First Tuesday
Released on March 30th, coinciding with Eid, "Sikandar" may not have received stellar critical ratings, but its box office performance has been outstanding. On its third day, Tuesday, the film raked in ₹23 crore. This figure is considered impressive for a non-holiday day.
In comparison, Yash's "KGF Chapter 2," released in 2022, earned ₹19.14 crore on its first Tuesday. Therefore, Salman Khan's "Sikandar" has surpassed it.
First Tuesday Collections
• Sikandar – ₹23 crore
• KGF Chapter 2 – ₹19.14 crore
Interestingly, "KGF 2's" first Tuesday fell on its sixth day of release, as it premiered on a Thursday (April 14, 2022). "Sikandar's" first Tuesday, however, was only its third day, making its performance even more remarkable.
Sikandar's Stormy Earnings Despite Negative Reviews
The film "Sikandar" faced considerable criticism from critics and on social media. Trolls labeled it as having a weak storyline and poor acting. However, Salman Khan's star power has sustained its b box office presence. The film also benefited from its Eid release; Salman Khan films typically receive a tremendous response during festivals, and this time was no different.
Will "Sikandar" Create Box Office History?
Considering the performance of Salman Khan's previous films, "Sikandar's" opening was far more spectacular than anticipated. If the film maintains this collection rate, it could soon join the ₹200 crore club. The question now is whether it can surpass the records of blockbusters like "KGF 2," "Pathaan," and "Jawan" in the coming weeks. For now, Salman's film reigns supreme at the box office.
