Sikandar box office collection: Day 4

In terms of domestic collection, Sikandar has grossed Rs 84.25 crore till now. Shows of the A.R. Murugadoss directorial have been cancelled in many cities to make way for regional films like the Gujarati film All The Best Pandya or Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan.


Sikandar had earned Rs 26 crore on its opening day. The film saw a slight jump in earnings on Eid, minting Rs 29 crore. Since then, its collections have declined, with a fall of 32.76 percent in collections on Day 3 and further decline on Day 4.

According to the makers, Sikandar has earned Rs 141.15 crore globally in three days. A post by Salman Khan Films highlighted the love the movie had received.

Sikandar managed to outperform Salman Khan’s last Eid release Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan in terms of opening day collection. However, it failed to perform as trade analysts had expected post the Eid opening.

Sikandar vs Chhaava

On Day 4, Sikandar registered a total occupancy of 12.08 percent. The actioner has not managed to beat the records set by Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava. The historical drama, which is the highest grossing film of the year so far, had set cash registers ringing in February.

If Sikandar and Chhaava are compared, Sikandar’s collections have fallen dramatically on Day 4. Chhaava had minted Rs 24 crore on its fourth day while Sikandar earned Rs 9.75 crore. Interestingly, both films had Rashmika Mandanna in the lead.

Sikandar plot

The movie also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi and Sathyaraj. Salman Khan plays the role of Sikandar, a man motivated by a strong sense of philanthropy and justice. When his actions put him in conflict with a politician, Sikandar takes it upon himself to tackle the corrupt practices and injustices he sees around him.

This is the first time Salman Khan has worked with either Rashmika Mandanna or A.R. Murugadoss in his career. The movie was made on a budget of Rs 200 crore.
