Title: Salman Khan’s Sikandar Crosses ₹200 Cr Worldwide in 9 Days, Sunny Deol’s Jatt Advances Rapidly
Superstar Salman Khan’s action-thriller Sikandar, directed by A. R. Murugadoss, continues its dominant run at the global box office. Despite mixed critical reception and early trolling on social media, the film’s powerful star pull and mass appeal have helped it collect more than its production budget of ₹200 crore in just 9 days of release, proving why Salman Khan remains a box office force.

Sikandar made an explosive start with ₹30+ crore India net collection on its opening day (Eid release). By the end of the first 7 days, the film had already reached ₹114.83 crore India net. On its 8th day (second Sunday), it added another ₹5.62 crore.
On its 9th day, the film experienced a strong Monday drop in occupancy (around 60% compared to Sunday), collecting approximately ₹2.50 crore (India net). This brings the film’s total India net to ₹122.95 crore, and its India gross rises to ₹146.31 crore.
Overseas, Sikandar has amassed ₹54.15 crore gross, making its total worldwide box office collection ₹200.46 crore after just 9 days of release. Despite the lukewarm reviews, the film has managed to reach blockbuster status thanks to Salman’s star power and massive Eid holiday footfall.
