Salman Khan’s Sikandar Holds Strong on Baasi Eid, Set to Enter Rs 100 Crore Club in 5 Days.

Salman Khan’s latest film, Sikandar, has shown strong box office collections on Tuesday, thanks to the Baasi Eid holiday. According to early estimates, the film earned between Rs 22 crore and Rs 24 crore on its third day. This brings its total earnings for the opening weekend to Rs 86 crore.

With this performance, Sikandar is set to become Salman Khan’s 17th consecutive film to enter the Rs 100 crore club in India. No other Bollywood actor has managed to achieve such a streak, with even 10 back-to-back Rs 100 crore films being unheard of. However, while this milestone is still impressive, the Rs 100 crore benchmark is slowly losing its significance in today’s box office trends.

Sikandar is expected to cross the Rs 100 crore mark within just five days. While this is a major achievement for most films, it is considered an underwhelming performance for a Salman Khan starrer. The movie has performed exceptionally well in single-screen cinemas and smaller multiplex chains. However, major multiplexes have started seeing a decline in footfall, indicating that Sikandar might not sustain its box office momentum for long.

The key concern for the film’s makers is its long-term performance. The film needs to bring in maximum audiences before Sunday, as ticket sales are expected to slow down significantly after that. If this trend continues, the movie might struggle to maintain a strong hold at the box office, potentially leading to a financial disappointment.

The primary driving force behind Sikandar’s success so far has been Salman Khan’s massive fan following. However, general audiences, or “neutral” viewers, have not shown much interest in watching the film during its opening weekend. This could pose a challenge for the film’s long-term earnings.

All eyes are now on Wednesday, which will be a crucial test for the movie. If Sikandar can maintain steady collections mid-week, it might have a chance to recover and sustain well in the coming days. However, if the drop in multiplex viewership continues, the film’s overall box office run could be cut short.

Will Sikandar Hold Strong or Fade Away?

Despite entering the Rs 100 crore club, the real challenge for Sikandar lies ahead. With competition from upcoming releases and a mixed audience response, it remains to be seen whether the film can maintain a strong position or end up struggling at the box office.

For now, Salman Khan’s star power has once again ensured a big opening, but the coming days will determine if Sikandar is a hit or a miss. Stay tuned for more updates on the film’s box office journey!
