Title: Salman Khan’s Sikandar Crosses ₹187 Crore Worldwide in Just 7 Days – Box Office Breakdown & Updates on Upcoming Films
In a massive boost to the Bollywood box office, Salman Khan’s much-anticipated action drama film Sikandar has completed its first week in theatres with impressive numbers. Released on March 30th, the AR Murugadoss directorial has not only performed strongly in India but has also shown remarkable success overseas. Let’s break down Sikandar’s 7-day worldwide box office collection along with updates on Sunny Deol’s upcoming film Jatt and Mohanlal’s M Puran (L2: Empuraan).
🔥 Sikandar 7 Days Total Box Office Collection
Sikandar, anchored by megastar Salman Khan and supported by a star-studded cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Satyaraj, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Babbar, opened to mixed reviews. Despite the negative buzz and aggressive criticism across multiple platforms, Salman’s massive fan following ensured strong footfalls in theatres.
The film, reportedly made on a budget of ₹200 crore, was released on a Sunday, effectively capitalizing on its extended opening weekend. With no major Bollywood competition within the same week, Sikandar sustained strong momentum into its second weekend.
In just the first five days, Sikandar collected ₹105.17 crore net in India. On Day 6, it added ₹4.48 crore. On Day 7 (Saturday), the movie witnessed an upswing due to the weekend, collecting approximately ₹6.5 crore — taking the India net collection to ₹116.15 crore and gross collection to ₹138.21 crore.
Overseas markets also responded well, contributing ₹48.96 crore to the film’s tally. As a result, the worldwide gross collection stands at a massive ₹187.17 crore in just 7 days. With Sunday (Day 8) ahead and positive occupancy trends, the film is expected to breach its production cost and turn profitable well ahead of schedule.
🎬 M Puran (L2: Empuraan) – Strong 10 Days Run
Prithviraj Sukumaran’s directorial venture starring Mohanlal, L2: Empuraan, the sequel to the highly successful Lucifer, has also made waves at the box office. Made on a budget of ₹150 crore, this multilingual release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada has already crossed ₹253.28 crore worldwide in just ten days.
In the domestic circuit, the film collected ₹91.58 crore net in the first nine days. A solid Saturday has pushed the day 10 net earnings to an additional ₹5.5 crore, bringing India’s total net to ₹97.08 crore. The India gross stands at ₹115.52 crore.
🔥 Jatt – Sunny Deol’s Next Big Release
Upcoming Bollywood action entertainer Jatt, starring Sunny Deol, is all set to hit the silver screen on April 10. Directed by Gopichand Malineni, the film also features Randeep Hooda, Vineet Kumar, Sayami Kher, and Jagapathi Babu. Post the blockbuster success of Gadar 2, Sunny Deol fans are eagerly awaiting his powerful return with Jatt.
While domestic advance bookings are yet to go live (expected nationwide on April 6), the film has already made a strong start overseas. International pre-sales have reached ₹1.04 crore (₹12,000 overseas revenue), and the 4-day extended weekend overseas booking has hit ₹1.56 crore (₹1.83 lakh overseas revenue).
Industry experts are predicting a huge opening for Jatt, especially considering the buzz created after its teaser and trailer were well-received.
💥 Salman Khan’s Stardom – A Driving Force for Sikandar
One thing is clear — even amid mixed critical reception, Salman Khan’s sheer star power continues to drive box office numbers. Without Salman in the lead, Sikandar may not have even crossed ₹30-40 crore. But thanks to his loyal fanbase, the film is on its way to becoming another strong commercial entrant in his filmography.
While fans still await the kind of quality content associated with Salman’s golden era, Sikandar’s performance shows that the actor’s box office pull remains as potent as ever.
