Salman Khan’s much-awaited action-packed film Sikandar is all set for its grand release. The makers have now officially confirmed that the film will hit theaters on Sunday, March 30, 2024. Unlike the traditional Friday releases, Salman Khan has experimented with Sunday releases before—his last film, Tiger 3, was also released on a Sunday and performed well at the box office.
Box Office Expectations for Sikandar
With Sikandar‘s release date set, discussions around its potential box office numbers have already begun. Salman Khan’s previous film, Tiger 3, was released on November 12, 2023, which was also a Sunday and coincided with the Diwali festival. The film took a massive opening of ₹44.5 crore on Day 1, and post-Diwali Monday saw an even bigger jump in earnings.
According to trade experts, Sikandar has the potential to surpass Tiger 3’s opening day figures. The buzz around Sikandar is strong, and early trends suggest that it might deliver an opening of ₹45 crore or more in India on Day 1, as per reports from Pinkvilla.
Audience Reactions to Sikandar’s Teasers and Songs
While the anticipation for Sikandar is high, initial reactions to the teaser and released songs have been mixed. Some viewers feel that the chemistry between Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna isn’t creating much buzz. However, it’s too soon to form any opinions since the official trailer is yet to be released.
The trailer launch is expected to kick off the advance booking window, which will give a clearer picture of the film’s opening day box office potential.
Salman Khan’s Recent Box Office Performances
To gauge where Sikandar might stand in terms of collections, let’s look at Salman Khan’s last few films and their opening day earnings:
- Tiger 3: ₹44.5 crore
- Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan: ₹15.8 crore
- Dabangg 3: ₹24.5 crore
- Bharat: ₹42.3 crore
- Race 3: ₹28.5 crore
While some of Salman Khan’s previous films haven’t lived up to his legendary box office standards, Sikandar has the potential to reclaim his superstar box office dominance.
Will Sikandar Be a Box Office Hit?
For Sikandar, it’s crucial not only to perform well financially but also to win over audiences with engaging content. A strong word-of-mouth reception could lead to a long theatrical run, making it one of the biggest successes of 2024.
