Salman Khan's "Sikander" falters at the box office, failing to reach the ₹100 crore mark even in its first week. Here's a look at its earnings so far.
Entertainment Desk: While there was initial enthusiasm among audiences for Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna's film "Sikander," negative reviews and weak word-of-mouth have hampered its progress. The film failed to enter the ₹100 crore club in its first week, a disappointing performance compared to Salman's previous films.
"Sikander" Still Far From the ₹100 Crore Club
Released on March 30th, Salman Khan's "Sikander" had high expectations. The film opened bly, collecting ₹26 crore on its opening day. However, its earnings declined steadily in subsequent days. According to Sacnilk's report, the film collected only ₹3.75 crore on its seventh day, bringing its total collection to ₹97.50 crore. It has yet to reach the ₹100 crore mark.
"Sikander's" Total Collection So Far
"Sikander's" first-week performance:
• Day 1: ₹26 crore
• Day 2: ₹29 crore
• Day 3: ₹19.5 crore
• Day 4: ₹9.75 crore
• Day 5: ₹6 crore
• Day 6: ₹3.5 crore
• Day 7: ₹3.75 crore
Thus, the film's total box office collection after seven days stands at ₹97.5 crore.
Salman's Action Impresses, But the Story Lacks Punch
The film is directed by A.R. Murugadoss, known for his action-packed and emotionally charged films. In "Sikander," Salman Khan plays a man protecting three witnesses after his wife's death. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, and Satyraj. While Salman's action sequences were well-received, a weak script hampered the film's overall impact.
Hype, But No Box Office Success
The film's trailer and songs generated considerable hype on social media, but this enthusiasm failed to translate into sustained box office success. Negative reviews and a weak script slowed the film's momentum. While Salman's previous films crossed the ₹100 crore mark within a few days, "Sikander" failed to achieve this even after seven days.
What Lies Ahead for "Sikander"?
All eyes are now on the weekend, where the film might see a resurgence. However, based on the current trend, "Sikander" will likely need further effort to surpass the ₹100 crore mark. If the film doesn't strengthen its position soon, it might be counted among the underperforming films in Salman's career.
