SIKANDAR collected 18.5 crore nett on its third day which was a partial holiday for Eid which enabled the collections to remain steady in parts of the country. The collections are mainly driven by the UP area which remained similar to the Eid holiday on Monday and this also enabled the Delhi/UP to hold collections at the first day level.

The last release for Salman Khan, TIGER 3, had collected 138 crore nett on a similar weekend with a Sunday start and at that time, this number was also looked at as if it was on the lower side which was not the case. The numbers were double of SIKANDAR; its another story that TIGER 3 was not appreciated but the initial was very good.

A circuit like East Punjab saw a huge drop as here, its a normal day after the national holiday for Eid. Eventually, other parts will come to the same level. The film will show big drops over the next few days but may get some respite over the weekend but Saturday may see limited upturn due to reports.

The three day number is 70.5 crore nett and its probably going to be the weekend when it reaches 100 crore nett unless the Eid areas hold up better than expected over the next two days. Mysore is a circuit that can be said to be doing okay mainly as these types do less there but the Hindi belt is awful.

The collections of SIKANDAR till date are as follows. 

Sunday - 25,00,00,000

Monday - 27,00,00,000

Tuesday - 18,50,00,000
