Sikandar Box Office Mid-Day Trends Day 8: Salman Khan-led entertainer FAILS to grow on weekend afternoon

Sikandar Box Office Mid-Day Trends Day 8: Salman Khan’s latest action entertainer Sikandar released in theaters recently with huge expectations. The film was released on Eid and while Sikandar did benefit from the national holiday, it failed to hold the same run in the subsequent week owing to the negative reception for the film. Sikandar Suffers from No Weekend Boost on Sunday Judging by its trend till now, Sikandar has failed to show any proper growth on its Sunday.

Sikandar box office collection day 6: Salman Khan-starrer struggling to reach Rs 100 cr, has lost over 1800 shows since release | Bollywood News

Sikandar box office collection day 6: Salman Khan-starrer has been struggling at the box office ever since its release almost a week ago. While Salman’s fans wait for his films with a lot of anticipation, Sikandar did not meet their expectations and they made it known quite evidently.

On its sixth day, the film has earned just Rs 3.75 crore, according to early estimates by industry tracker, Sacnilk, taking the film’s nett domestic total to Rs 94 crore. The number of shows of Sikandar have also been reduced. While it started with over 8000 shows, it has now dropped down to around 6200 shows. In Mumbai, the film had over 1300 shows at …
