 Salman khan new movie "Sikandar" worldwide box office collection day 12

Salman Khan's latest film, "Sikandar," has been under the spotlight since its release, with audiences and critics closely monitoring its box office performance. As of April 9, 2025, the film has completed its twelfth day in theaters. Here's an in-depth analysis of its performance up to this point.

​

Opening and Initial Performance

"Sikandar" premiered on March 30, 2025, strategically aligning its release with the festive occasion of Eid. The film opened to a moderate response, garnering ₹27.50 crore on its first day at the Indian box office.  While this figure is respectable, it fell short of the monumental openings witnessed by other major releases in recent times.​

Week One Collections

Throughout its first week, "Sikandar" experienced a steady influx of moviegoers. By the seventh day, the film had accumulated ₹97.50 crore net in India and approximately ₹187 crore worldwide.  These numbers, though substantial, were considered modest for a Salman Khan starrer, especially when compared to his previous box office successes.

Second Weekend and Beyond

Entering its second weekend, "Sikandar" managed to cross the ₹100 crore mark in India. By the ninth day, the film's Indian net collection stood at ₹104.25 crore.  However, the subsequent weekdays saw a noticeable dip in collections. On the eleventh day, the film earned around ₹0.88 crore in India. 

Twelfth Day Performance

As per early estimates, "Sikandar" is projected to have earned approximately ₹1.50 crore net in India on its twelfth day.  This brings the film's total Indian net collection to around ₹117.05 crore.  The overseas markets contributed an additional ₹54.65 crore, culminating in a worldwide gross of approximately ₹192.95 crore. ​

Comparative Analysis

When juxtaposed with Salman Khan's previous films, "Sikandar" appears to underperform. For instance, "Dabangg 2" amassed a worldwide collection of ₹265 crore, a benchmark that "Sikandar" seems unlikely to reach.  Industry analysts suggest that the film might struggle to achieve a lifetime collection of ₹150 crore in India, indicating a performance below expectations. 

Factors Influencing Performance

Several elements may have contributed to the film's tepid box office trajectory:

Critical Reception: The film received mixed reviews from critics, which could have influenced audience turnout.​

Audience Expectations: High expectations from a Salman Khan film might have led to disappointment among fans, affecting word-of-mouth promotion.​

Competition: The simultaneous release of other films, such as "L2: Empuraan," which garnered significant attention and box office numbers, may have diverted potential viewers. ​

Conclusion

In summary, "Sikandar" has had a moderate run at the box office over its first twelve days. While it has achieved commendable figures, especially in the overseas market, it hasn't mirrored the blockbuster success typically associated with Salman Khan's releases. The coming days will be crucial in determining its final standing in the box office annals.​
