SIKANDAR took a big hit on its fourth day as it collected 8.5 crore nett which is a drop of 55% from the previous day. The collections still have a an Eid leftover in them. Hence, there is a further drop to come. The total collections of the film are 79 crore nett till now and the collections until Thursday are likely to put up around 85 crore nett.

The film has extended first week of 12 days but its likely that the film will only see some collections for the first seven days which will be till Sunday. The film may have have 100 crore nett collections in the first seven days but that is not certain as a lot depends on whether the film can show an upturn on Saturday.

A problem for the film is the collections across the mass Hindi circuits which are just too low be it Gujarat, Rajasthan or CP, CI. UP may have spiked up on Eid but still its just a pick up and the collections were not even close to good. Compared to these circuits, the likes of Delhi NCR and Bangalore are better which should not be the case for a film like this which has been released on Eid.

Its another festive holiday down the drain and Eid has been horrible post the pandemic. Now one has to go back to BHARAT in 2019 for a better performance and even then that film did not live up to expectations with a close of nearly 200 crore nett.

The collections of SIKANDAR till date are as follows. 

Sunday - 25,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 27,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 18,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

---------------------------------------------

SIKANDAR crashed further on Thursday with collections of 4.75 crorre nett. This is a drop of 45% after the film dropped after the film dropped 55% on Wednesday and there is a further drop to come as certain areas still remain elevated due to Eid. The circuit like East Punjab saw ridiculously low collections on Thursday but Delhi/UP was okay comparatively due to Eid leftover.

The film has almost 84 crore nett on the board after five days and its lucky the film released on Sunday as its unthinkable what would have happened with a Friday release as the story could have been over before the holiday period even started. Despite the film starting with a 25 crore opening day, the film is going to crawl to a 100 crore nett and it would be no surprise if the film does not reach 100 crore nett in the first same days.

A fate of the film is very similar to the likes of ZERO and '83 with similar cost (including remunerations) and the box office numbers will also come into a similar range. The film is a bigger flop than KISI KA BHAI KISI KI JAAN due to it being more costly and the biggest flop for Salman Khan since YUVVRAAJ in 2008.

The collections of SIKANDAR till date are as follows.

Sunday - 25,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 27,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 18,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

SIKANDAR had another fall on day six as it collected 2.75 crore nett and still there is some Eid benefit in these collections to the tunes of 30-40 lakhs nett. On Eid, it is East Punjab which tells fair value as Eid is pretty much irrelevant here barring the national holiday and on that day, the collections should be around 2.40-2.50 crore nett.

The very minor positive is that while India dropped 40% there was a minor drop in East Punjab which means the film can have some growth on Saturday and Sunday though as Friday collections are a little higher than they should be, the growth will not be like it should on a Saturday. The Saturday should see normal collections everywhere though a few UP centers could remain better Sunday. No doubt Monday will see it a level playing field all over but there will be hardly be any collections. The collections of the film are 86.50 crore nett and it seems to be heading for a similar number to KISI KA BHAI KISI KI JAAN.

The collections of SIKANDAR till date are as follows. 

Sunday - 25,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 27,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 18,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 4,75,00,000 apprx

Friday - 2,75,00,000 apprx

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

SIKANDAR collected 27 crore nett on its second day which was a holiday for Eid but the film saw drops in collections in many places. But because of the Eid crowd, the film managed to show growth in its overall collections. This is mainly because of UP as the state showed huge improvement from the previous day and if we take the collections from the state only, then it would be double the previous day.

There is a drop in business in the national chains of around 10% while circuits like Gujarat and East Punjab are down around 25%. Delhi/UP jumped around 40-50% thanks to UP but there was a drop in the NCR belt. The South also made gains as both Nizam / Andhra and Mysore showed improvement from the first day.

The issue for the film is places like Rajasthan and CI, which are pretty much flat with limited growth, and these circuits should be going up by a margin on Eid day. The trend in these circuits means there is little hope in the long run. The Eid crowd will dwindle every day and the peak for this was Monday.

The film has put up a 52 crore nett in two days which is an average collection but these average numbers have come on Sunday and a national holiday. If it were normal days, the collections would have been poor and eventually the normal days will come and collections will come down heavily.

Its another big film going down on a big holiday release and its not the first time post the pandemic. SIKANDAR needs a miracle to even hit the average mark as collections on Tuesday need to be similar to the first two days which will not happen. Basically you cant afford to have middling collections on holidays with good numbers being the minimum requirement for a big film. SIKANDAR needed 100 crore nett in 3 days as a minimum with solid growth on Eid but its going to fall well short of that.

The collections of SIKANDAR till date are as follows.

Sunday - 25,00,00,000

Monday - 27,00,00,000
