SIKANDAR took a big hit on its fourth day as it collected 8.5 crore nett which is a drop of 55% from the previous day. The collections still have a an Eid leftover in them. Hence, there is a further drop to come. The total collections of the film are 79 crore nett till now and the collections until Thursday are likely to put up around 85 crore nett.
The film has extended first week of 12 days but its likely that the film will only see some collections for the first seven days which will be till Sunday. The film may have have 100 crore nett collections in the first seven days but that is not certain as a lot depends on whether the film can show an upturn on Saturday.
A problem for the film is the collections across the mass Hindi circuits which are just too low be it Gujarat, Rajasthan or CP, CI. UP may have spiked up on Eid but still its just a pick up and the collections were not even close to good. Compared to these circuits, the likes of Delhi NCR and Bangalore are better which should not be the case for a film like this which has been released on Eid.
Its another festive holiday down the drain and Eid has been horrible post the pandemic. Now one has to go back to BHARAT in 2019 for a better performance and even then that film did not live up to expectations with a close of nearly 200 crore nett.
The collections of SIKANDAR till date are as follows.
Sunday – 25,00,00,000 apprx
Monday – 27,00,00,000 apprx
Tuesday – 18,50,00,000 apprx
Wednesday – 8,50,00,000 apprx
TOTAL – 79,00,00,000

SIKANDAR crashed further on Thursday with collections of 4.75 crorre nett. This is a drop of 45% after the film dropped after the film dropped 55% on Wednesday and there is a further drop to come as certain areas still remain elevated due to Eid. The circuit like East Punjab saw ridiculously low collections on Thursday but Delhi/UP was okay comparatively due to Eid leftover.
The film has almost 84 crore nett on the board after five days and its lucky the film released on Sunday as its unthinkable what would have happened with a Friday release as the story could have been over before the holiday period even started. Despite the film starting with a 25 crore opening day, the film is going to crawl to a 100 crore nett and it would be no surprise if the film does not reach 100 crore nett in the first same days.
A fate of the film is very similar to the likes of ZERO and ’83 with similar cost (including remunerations) and the box office numbers will also come into a similar range. The film is a bigger flop than KISI KA BHAI KISI KI JAAN due to it being more costly and the biggest flop for Salman Khan since YUVVRAAJ in 2008.

SIKANDAR had another fall on day six as it collected 2.75 crore nett and still there is some Eid benefit in these collections to the tunes of 30-40 lakhs nett. On Eid, it is East Punjab which tells fair value as Eid is pretty much irrelevant here barring the national holiday and on that day, the collections should be around 2.40-2.50 crore nett.
The very minor positive is that while India dropped 40% there was a minor drop in East Punjab which means the film can have some growth on Saturday and Sunday though as Friday collections are a little higher than they should be, the growth will not be like it should on a Saturday. The Saturday should see normal collections everywhere though a few UP centers could remain better Sunday. No doubt Monday will see it a level playing field all over but there will be hardly be any collections. The collections of the film are 86.50 crore nett and it seems to be heading for a similar number to KISI KA BHAI KISI KI JAAN.
