Salman Khan's 'Sikandar' struggles at box office despite star power
The film, which opened with 8000 shows across India, has now been reduced to just 4406 screenings, reflecting its drop in audience interest.

Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna’s action drama ‘Sikandar’, directed by ‘Ghajini’ filmmaker AR Murugadoss, has had a lukewarm run at the box office since its release on March 30, 2025.

Despite being backed by big names like Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Salman Khan Films, the film has struggled to replicate the success of Salman’s past Eid blockbusters like ‘Tiger 3’ and ‘Sultan’.

The film, which opened with 8000 shows across India, has now been reduced to just 4406 screenings, reflecting its drop in audience interest. On Sunday, the occupancy rate was a mere 11.5%.

Critics and fans have largely panned the movie, citing lacklustre action sequences, weak dialogue delivery, and uninspired camerawork. 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.”

‘Sikandar’ also features Satyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, and newcomer Anjini Dhawan in key roles.
