Salman Khan's "Sikandar," released on Eid, faltered at the box office within 12 days. While the film's earnings dwindled to mere lakhs, Sunny Deol's "Jaat" captivated audiences and created a sensation from its opening day.
Sikandar box office day 12: Salman Khan's film "Sikandar," released with much fanfare on Eid, is now nearing the end of its box office run. While the film initially saw decent earnings, it has now plummeted from crores to lakhs. Significantly, the release of Sunny Deol's "Jaat" further exacerbated "Sikandar's" declining performance.
12th Day Earnings in Lakhs
According to early trend reports by Saknilk, "Sikandar" earned only ₹71 lakh on its 12th day. This figure is considered extremely disappointing for a film starring a superstar like Salman Khan. The film's total earnings have reached ₹107.81 crore, but its momentum has significantly slowed.
Strong First Week, Then a Weakening Grip
"Sikandar" had initially generated hope by earning ₹90.25 crore in its first week. However, the film's earnings steadily declined in the second week.
• Day 6: ₹3.5 crore
• Day 7: ₹4 crore
• Day 8: ₹4.75 crore
• Day 9: ₹1.75 crore
• Day 10: ₹1.5 crore
• Day 11: ₹1.35 crore
These figures clearly indicate that the film has significantly deviated from its projected trajectory.
"Jaat's" Entry Steals Remaining Hope
The release of Sunny Deol's "Jaat" delivered the biggest blow to "Sikandar." "Jaat" earned ₹9.50 crore on its opening day alone, clearly indicating a shift in audience preference towards this new action entertainer. The craze for "Jaat" severely impacted "Sikandar's" collections.
Is "Sikandar's" Box Office Run Over?
The daily decline in the film's earnings clearly suggests that "Sikandar" will not have a long box office run. Considering the trends, it can be said that the film's journey is nearing its end, and "Sikandar" has lost its shine on the big screen.
A Major Setback for Salman
Despite being an action-packed film, Salman Khan's "Sikandar" did not receive the audience love it expected. It joins the list of Salman's films that, despite star power, failed to sustain themselves at the box office.
