Sikandar 2nd Day Box Office Collection Worldwide: Salman Khan-starrer walloped by Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava in first two days, earns Rs 55 crore

Last year, Salman was also seen in YRF’s Tiger 3, which was also released on a Sunday. In the first two days, Tiger 3 made a little over Rs 104 crore, and while the numbers sound impressive independently, they were seen as disappointing in comparison to films like Pathaan, Jawan and Gadar 2, which had a much stronger opening at the box office in the months prior to Tiger 3’s release. It was later said that the decision to release Tiger 3 on a Sunday was a mistake, as the makers failed to capitalise on the extended holiday weekend.

Salman’s last theatrical release, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, made around Rs 111 crore at the box office, and was seen as a huge failure for him. Later that year, Tiger 3 made around Rs 283 crore at the box office in India. The Hindi landscape in 2025 has solely dominated by Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, which has already made Rs 592.3 crore at the domestic box office since its release on February 14. Chhaava made Rs 68 crore in the first two days, even though it wasn’t a holiday release.

It is yet to be seen if Sikandar can manage to stay afloat across the week as the holiday weekend is now over. The film has received mediocre reviews, so it is unlikely that the film will pick up with word of mouth. Directed by AR Murugadoss, Sikandar also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Sharman Joshi, among others.
