Salman Khan and AR Murugadoss’ action thriller Sikandar is at a tough spot at the Indian box office. It was meant to enjoy the Eid holiday benefit, but the mixed word-of-mouth spoiled the party. Rashmika Mandanna sadly could not surpass the second-day collections of her last Bollywood blockbuster, Chhaava. Scroll below for the day 2 early trends.
Not the Eid feast we expected
A lot is at risk since Sikandar is mounted on an estimated budget of 200 crores. Contrary to expectations of 125 crore+ in the first three days, Salman Khan starrer will take some time to score a century. As per the early trends, it made box office collections of around 32-34 crores on day 2.
Sikandar witnessed a growth of 6-13% compared to 30.06 crores earned on the opening day. Salman Khan has delivered some huge Eid collections, but unfortunately, this one will not land among the top 5.
The 2-day total will now stand somewhere around 62.06-64.06 crores. All eyes are now on the hold the action thriller will maintain tomorrow, a regular working day. If it drops below 50%, there will be little hope left for this Bollywood biggie.
Sikandar vs Chhaava Day 2
After clocking 33.10 crores on its opening day, Chhaava witnessed another huge jump on day 2, adding 39.30 crores more to its kitty. The two-day total stood at 72.40 crores.
Salman Khan’s Sikandar is lagging behind by almost 13%. Despite the Eid benefit, the margin is simply disappointing.
