Today is 1st April, 2025. The movie Sikandar came out in theaters on March 30, 2025. It stars Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna. People were very excited for this film. It released a day before Eid. Everyone wanted to know how much money it made. Let’s look at the box office collection day by day. We will use simple words and small sentences. This will help you understand easily.
Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 1: March 30, 2025 (Sunday)
Sikandar started on a Sunday. It was a big day because Salman Khan has many fans. The movie made around ₹26 crore in India on the first day. This is the net collection. Net means after taxes. Some reports say it made ₹21.96 crore by evening. But by the end of the day, it reached ₹26 crore. The total India gross was ₹31.25 crore. Gross means with taxes included. Overseas, it earned about ₹10.7 crore. That’s $1.25 million in dollars. Worldwide, the gross collection was ₹54.72 crore, says the makers. Fans went to theaters. But some said it was less than expected. Salman’s old Eid movies like *Sultan* made ₹36 crore on Day 1. *Tiger 3* made ₹53 crore. So, *Sikandar* did okay but not great. Theaters had 20-25% people watching. Chennai had the most at 46%. Bengaluru had 28%. Mumbai had 20%. It was a good start. But many hoped for more.
Day 2: March 31, 2025 (Monday)
Today is Day 2. It’s Eid day. Eid is a holiday. People don’t work. They go to movies. So, everyone thought Sikandar would make more money today. Early reports say it made ₹11.78 crore net by afternoon in India. This is for all languages. Some say it might end at ₹16-17 crore net by night. Others think it could reach ₹30-32 crore net. Single-screen theaters did well. Big cities like Delhi had fewer people. Morning shows had only 5-10% seats full. That was low. But noon shows got better. About 25% seats were full. Evening shows had 40-45% people. This was a big jump. The movie made ₹35.47 crore gross in India yesterday. Today, it might add more. Overseas numbers are not clear yet. Worldwide, it could cross ₹70 crore by tonight. Fans liked Salman’s action. But some said the story was old. This mixed talk affected sales. Still, Eid helped. The movie did not fall badly.
Why Collections Matter?
Box office means how much money a movie makes. It shows if people like it. Sikandar cost ₹200 crore to make. That’s a lot of money. Salman did not take a fee. If he did, it would be ₹300 crore. To be a hit, it needs ₹200 crore in India. Day 1 and Day 2 together might reach ₹50-55 crore net. That’s only 25% of the cost. So, it needs more days. Salman is a big star. His fans expect big numbers. But this time, it’s slow. Some say the leak hurt it. The movie got out online. People watched it free. This happens with big films. It cuts theater money. Still, Eid gave hope. Families came out today. Let’s see what happens next.
Day 3 Prediction: April 1, 2025 (Tuesday)
Tomorrow is Day 3. It’s not a holiday. People will go to work. Kids will go to school. So, fewer people might watch. Day 2 is doing okay because of Eid. But Day 3 could drop. Experts think it might make ₹10-15 crore net in India. Single screens will still work. Big cities might slow down. The movie has action and Salman’s charm. But reviews are not all good. Some call it boring. Others love Salman’s entry. This mix will decide Day 3. If it makes ₹15 crore, the total could be ₹65-70 crore in 3 days. That’s not bad. But it’s not a blockbuster yet. Overseas might add ₹5-7 crore. Worldwide could near ₹80-85 crore in 3 days. Fans hope it grows. Word of mouth is key now.
How Does It Compare?
Sikandar is big. It played on 5,500 screens in India. That’s huge. It had 22,000 shows on Day 1. Advance booking was ₹10 crore. That’s good but less than *Tiger 3*. *Tiger 3* made ₹44 crore on Day 1. *Chhaava* by Vicky Kaushal made ₹31 crore this year. *Sikandar* is behind. South movie *L2: Empuraan* made ₹67 crore worldwide on Day 1. *Sikandar* got ₹54 crore. It’s not the top opener of 2025. Salman fans are sad. They wanted ₹40 crore on Day 1. But it’s still early. The week will tell more.
What’s Next?
Sikandar has Salman and Rashmika. A.R. Murugadoss is the director. It’s an action drama. People like Salman’s fights. But the story needs to pull more. Day 2 is better than Day 1. Day 3 will test it. If it stays above ₹10 crore daily, it can reach ₹100 crore in a week. That’s a start. To be a hit, it needs ₹200 crore total. Fans are watching. Makers say it’s just starting. They hope Eid buzz lasts. Let’s wait and see.
This is the simple story of Sikandar’s box office so far. It’s not a flop. It’s not a super hit yet. Salman’s power is there. But it needs more love from people. Stay tuned for updates!
