Salman Khan’s much-hyped Eid release, Sikandar, is facing a bumpy ride at the box office. Despite crossing the coveted ₹100 crore milestone, the film is now staring at significant losses as audience interest continues to wane.

On Day 10, Sikandar earned just ₹1.35 crore, taking its total domestic collection to ₹105.6 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. What began with a promising Day 1 has steadily declined, with each passing day bringing steeper drops in revenue.

The film’s performance was marred from the get-go due to piracy — the full movie was leaked online on the day of release, denting its earnings right out of the gate. However, critics and fans haven’t been kind either, with mixed-to-negative reviews further hampering its run.

After a decent first-week haul of ₹90.25 crore, Sikandar showed a flicker of hope over the weekend, pulling in ₹4 crore on Saturday and ₹4.75 crore on Sunday. But the momentum didn’t last long — Monday saw a sharp 63% drop to ₹1.75 crore, followed by Tuesday’s continued slide. The Hindi occupancy rate on Tuesday stood at a mere 8.36%, signaling dwindling viewer interest.

Interestingly, the film’s makers claimed a global collection of ₹200.93 crore on Tuesday via social media. But Sacnilk reports paint a different picture, placing the worldwide total at ₹171.65 crore — a notable discrepancy that raises eyebrows.

Comparisons are inevitable, and Sikandar seems to be falling short when placed next to this year’s blockbuster Chhaava starring Vicky Kaushal. In just 10 days, Chhaava raked in a massive ₹326.75 crore domestically — more than triple Sikandar’s earnings in the same timeframe.

With collections slowing to a crawl and competition heating up, Sikandar may struggle to find redemption at the box office unless a miracle turn of events boosts footfalls.
