In contrast, Salman’s earlier films such as Tiger Zinda Hai, Sultan, and Tiger 3 enjoyed much stronger opening weekends. Additionally, Rashmika Mandanna’s previous release, Pushpa 2, has had a remarkable box office performance, amassing over Rs 812 crores globally.
The underwhelming performance of Sikandar can be attributed to several factors, including a lackluster script and insufficient excitement surrounding its release. Despite a strong cast, the film has not sparked the same level of enthusiasm as other recent titles.

Director AR Murugadoss has faced criticism for his approach to the film’s script and storyline. Many viewers have found the narrative to be convoluted and lacking coherence, making it challenging for audiences to engage with the film.
In summary, Sikandar’s disappointing box office performance is a significant setback for its creators, and it remains uncertain how the film will fare in the upcoming days. Nevertheless, fans of Salman Khan are still keen to watch the film and hope for an improvement in its performance.
In other box office developments, Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan has been performing strongly, having collected over Rs 70 crores domestically in just four days. The box office battle between Sikandar and L2: Empuraan is heating up, and it remains to be seen which film will emerge victorious.
One thing is certain, however – the Eid 2025 weekend has brought a thrilling clash of cinematic titans, and audiences are eagerly awaiting the next installment in this box office saga.
