Salman Khan’s Sikandarhasn’t had the best of starts at the box office. Released on March 30, 2025 (Sunday), the movie is directed by Tamil filmmaker A R Murugadoss.

Also starring Rashmika Mandanna, the Hindi action drama hasn’t enjoyed the typical buzz for a Salman movie. The Bollywood star has returned to the big screen with an Eid release after two years.

According to the makers, Sikandar has collected ₹30.6 crore in India on its opening day. The number has failed to create any record at the box office. The film’s first-day performance also falls short of Vicky Kaushal’s recently-released Chhaava, which racked up ₹31 crore on the opening day.

The movie’s worldwide collection is ₹54 crore, much behind Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan. The Atlee-directorial had earned ₹109-crore on its first day.

The first-day domestic box office collection of Sikandar pales in comparison with Salman’s previous films. If the 2016 Sultan made ₹36.54 crore,Tiger 3 (2023)enjoyed a whopping collection of ₹53.3 crore.

Sikandar has opened to mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. The Hindu review of the film said, “Salman’s stiff presence and stilted dialogue delivery add to the woes. The action choreography has little novelty. In the absence of effective camerawork, it seems people queue up to be beaten by a star whose intent is intact but agility waning.”
