Sikandar Box Office Collection: The Salman Khan starter hit the big screens on March 30, coinciding with the Eid festivities, but was hardly the treat fans were expecting. The movie was poorly reviewed by both critics and cine-goers. Despite releasing on a holiday, the actioner has moved at a snail’s pace at the box office. The movie has amassed a total of ₹ 106.84 Cr in the 11-day theatrical run.
Sikandar opened to a dismal ₹26 crore on March 30. The following day, owing to the Eid holiday, the film showed slight growth and raked in ₹29 crore. However, since then, the film has only plummeted at the box office. From day 4, Sikandar struggled to mint double digits at the domestic ticketing counter.
