Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 1: Did Salman Khan Break His Own Record? First Day Earning Surprises

Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 1: Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna’s much-awaited action thriller Sikandar has finally hit the big screens, and fans were eager to see if the film would set new box office records. The excitement around Sikandar’s release was sky-high, but did the movie live up to its massive hype? Will it join the list of Salman Khan’s biggest blockbusters? The first-day box office collection reveals a lot about the film’s opening performance—and the numbers might just surprise you!

Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 1: How Much Did It Earn?

When it comes to Salman Khan’s biggest hits, Tiger Zinda Hai still holds the record as his highest-grossing film, earning ₹339.16 crore in India and crossing ₹558 crore worldwide. Now, let’s look at Sikandar’s opening-day box office collection.

 According to early estimates from Sacnilk, Sikandar earned ₹26 crore in India on Day 1. These numbers have left fans surprised, as expectations were even higher for Salman Khan’s Eid release.

Did Sikandar Meet Box Office Expectations?

Before its release, trade analysts predicted that Sikandar would open with at least ₹40 crore on its first day. However, the film has fallen short of this mark, collecting ₹26 crore in domestic earnings. Now, the big question remains—can Salman Khan’s Sikandar pick up momentum over the weekend and achieve blockbuster status?

For comparison, Tiger Zinda Hai made ₹34.10 crore on its opening day when it was released on a Friday. As of now, Sikandar’s Day 1 box office collection is behind Tiger Zinda Hai, but the film’s fate will be decided by its weekend and weekday performance.

Sikandar Storyline

Directed by A.R. Murugadoss, Sikandar stars Salman Khan as Sanjay Rajkot, a powerful figure who finds himself entangled in a deadly conflict. After a violent confrontation with a minister’s son (played by Prateik Babbar), his world takes a tragic turn.

Rashmika Mandanna plays Sanjay’s wife, whose untimely death shakes him to the core. Before passing away, she donates three of her organs. The minister, seeking revenge, targets the organ recipients, forcing Salman Khan’s character to step in and protect them while also avenging his wife’s death.
