Sikandar, starring Salman Khan within the lead role, was all concerning the Eid celebration. Right from the opening day, it has not been performing up to speed. Still, resulting from Eid celebrations, it got some boost. Otherwise, it might have earned a shocking total on the Indian box office. In the primary 5 days, the film managed to cross the century mark, but by way of footfalls, it has garnered disappointing numbers. Keep reading for an in depth report!
After the debacle of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and the underperformance of Tiger 3, expectations from his debut collaboration with AR Murugadoss were sky-high. Sajid Nadiadwala backed the project, turning it right into a magnum opus price 200 crores. With such a budget and the motion genre, the film was expected to earn big numbers, but unfortunately, it didn’t occur.
Yes, Sikandar crossed the 100 crore milestone, but that was the least expected end result from the film. After Eid, collections dropped significantly, and it shouldn’t be clear whether it’s going to touch the 150 crore milestone. In footfalls, if we compare it with Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, which was also an action-packed magnum opus, the Salman Khan starrer is lagging behind by a giant margin.
Sikandar has earned 105.20 crore net on the Indian box office. This has come because of this of 43-44 lakh tickets sold across the country. Yes, you read that right! The magnum opus has registered just 43-44 lakh footfalls in India.
For individuals who don’t know, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan had a historic run on the Indian box office and remains to be the highest-grossing Bollywood film with a set of 640.42 crore net. In the course of the splendid theatrical run, it enjoyed a staggering 3.80 crore footfalls in India, which is a giant thing.
If a comparison is made, Sikandar lags behind Jawan with 88.68-88.42% less footfall on the Indian box office.
