Salman Khan’s highly anticipated action drama Sikandar appears to be losing steam at the domestic box office, registering its lowest daily collection on Day 6. The film earned an estimated Rs 3.75 crore on Friday, marking a sharp decline and falling much short of initial box office predictions.

Released on a Sunday to coincide with the Eid holiday, Sikandar opened with a promising Rs 26 crore. Collections peaked on Eid itself, touching Rs 29 crore. However, the momentum quickly began to fade. The film saw earnings of Rs 19.5 crore on Tuesday, which dropped to Rs 9.75 crore on Wednesday and further dwindled to Rs 6 crore on Thursday.
By the end of its first week, the film’s domestic collection stood at approximately Rs 90.25 crore, according to trade tracker Sacnilk. With the addition of Friday’s figures, Sikandar has now reached an estimated Rs 94 crore at the Indian box office.
Industry watchers are closely monitoring the film’s weekend performance to see if it can cross the Rs 100 crore milestone. Despite the declining trend, the film’s production house remains optimistic. According to a post on their official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Sikandar reportedly crossed Rs 100 crore on Eid day itself, claiming a global gross of Rs 105.89 crore. Their most recent update pegs the film’s 5-day worldwide gross at Rs 169.78 crore, thanking fans for their support: “You’ve filled cinemas and our hearts. Thank you for making #Sikandar so special.”
Nevertheless, with domestic collections now tapering off, Sikandar is at risk of becoming one of Salman Khan’s underperforming releases in recent years. The film’s box office trajectory contrasts sharply with that of Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, which is nearing Rs 600 crore after a 50-day run.
The next few days will be crucial in determining whether Sikandar can regain momentum or continue its downward slide. This will also be the film's first full weekend at the box office. The film broke away from tradition and opened in cinemas on a Sunday, as opposed to the customary Friday release.
