‘s had hit theaters on March 30, 2025. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film garnered mixed to negative reviews from both critics and viewers. Since its release coincided with EID, expectations were clearly high for the Salman-led film. Unfortunately, the much-awaited film fell short, with the plot, action sequences, and even the performances and failed at meeting the anticipated standards. This has left both Salman Khan fans and cinegoers disappointed.

Coming to the box office, the starrer has been performing decently so far. The numbers aren’t as great as one would expect a Salman’s festive release to churn out. On Wednesday, which was the fourth day of Sikandar’s release, it earned Rs 84.45 crore in India. The collection was clearly disappointing considering how Salman’s movies has crossed the 100-crore mark within 2-3 days in the past.

The opening collection of the mass actioner was just Rs 26 crore. While day 2 witnessed slight growth, the numbers saw a drop of 30 per percent on the third day and a 50 per cent drop on day 4 and earned only Rs 9.75 crore in India. As reported by The Times of India, the overall occupancy on April 2 on Day 4 was a mere 12.08 per cent for Hindi shows. The footfall of the morning shows was 5.29 per cent, and it rose to 11.35 per cent in the afternoon and 15.35 per cent for the night shows. Will the movie cross 100 crores by Friday? This is what the viewers and trade analysts are looking forward to.

Along with Salman Khan, the film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Randeep Hooda and Prateik Babbar. Sikandar is AR Murugadoss’ fourth Hindi film. He previously directed Ghajini, Holiday and Akira. Many fans expected the film to have same emotional impact like Aamir’s Ghajini had. But when Salman’s film was released, fans were quick to slam it for not being up to the mark.
