Salman Khan's '
Sikandar
' which released on March 30, just a day prior to Eid, saw a lower opening than many other movies of the star. On day 1, the movie made around Rs 26 crore at the domestic box office. Meanwhile, it did not see any major growth on Eid and made Rs 29 crore. It was a Sunday release for the movie, but even 'Tiger 3' which released on a Sunday during Diwali, had an opening number of around Rs 43 crore.
After Eid, the film gradually began seeing a drop in the business and on Thursday, it almost crashed with just Rs 5.75 crore. Thus, by the end of day 5, the collection of the film stands at around Rs 90 crore, according to Sacnilk. Now on Friday, day 6, the film has a slow start, just like Thursday. Up till the morning shows, it collected Rs 66 lakh. Thus, the total collection of 'Sikandar' now stands at Rs 90.66 crore.
Sikandar Movie Review
For a biggie starring Salman Khan, Rs 100 crore is a number which was expected in the first three days itself. But now even on day 6, if the film just does in the range of Rs 5-6 crore like Thursday, then it won't cross Rs 100 crore today.
According to Box Office India, the trend of 'Sikandar' is similar to that of Shah Rukh Khan's '
Zero
' and Ranveer Singh starrer '
83
'. While of course, this film has done better than Salman's previous Eid release, 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan', but 'Sikandar' was mounted on a much high budget and hence, will suffer more loss.
Meanwhile, one hopes that the film does see a growth now on the upcoming Saturday, Sunday in order to sustain in the coming week.

Day 1 [1st Sunday] ₹ 26 Cr -
Day 2 [1st Monday] ₹ 29 Cr
