Has Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ Finally Entered the 100 Crore Club..

New Delhi : Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna’s action-packed film Sikandar has officially joined the ₹100 crore club at the Indian box office. After a strong first week, the movie witnessed decent growth over the weekend, with Sunday contributing significantly to its total earnings. Despite being in its second week, Sikandar has managed to maintain its grip on the box office, although Sunday’s numbers were relatively modest compared to its earlier peak.

On its eighth day, the film collected approximately ₹8.5 crore, pushing its total domestic collection to just over ₹101 crore. The slight dip in Sunday’s collection compared to earlier weekend highs is being attributed to ongoing IPL matches and increasing summer heat in many parts of India, which may have affected theatre footfall. However, trade experts believe the film’s performance remains strong, especially considering the competition it faces from other releases and OTT platforms.

Directed by AR Murugadoss, Sikandar presents Salman Khan in a high-octane role that blends patriotism, action, and emotional depth. Rashmika Mandanna’s performance has also received praise, especially for her chemistry with Salman and her role in the story’s emotional arc. The film’s gripping narrative, power-packed dialogues, and large-scale action sequences have been key factors in drawing audiences to theatres.

The film’s music, composed by Pritam, has also contributed to its popularity, with several songs trending on social media and music platforms. Additionally, fan support for Salman Khan and the film’s high marketing push have ensured strong initial numbers.

Looking ahead, Sikandar is expected to continue its steady box office run, particularly in tier-2 and tier-3 cities where Salman’s fan base is strongest. While weekday numbers may witness a slowdown, the film has already achieved a significant milestone by crossing the ₹100 crore mark within just eight days of release.

Whether Sikandar can sustain its momentum and move toward the ₹150 crore mark in the coming weeks will depend on word-of-mouth, weekday collections, and how well it withstands competition from upcoming Bollywood and Hollywood releases.
