Guptaji Dilliwale
Salman Khan’s much-awaited political action thriller Sikandar hit theaters on Sunday, March 30, 2025. Directed by AR Murugadoss and featuring Rashmika Mandanna alongside Salman, the film was expected to shatter box office records, especially with its Eid release. However, despite a strong fan following, Sikandar failed to deliver a bumper opening. Let’s take a look at its earnings on the second day.
Day 2 Box Office Collection of ‘Sikandar’
Though Sikandar didn’t open with record-breaking numbers, it saw a slight boost in collections on its second day due to the Eid holiday. According to trade reports:
- Day 1 Earnings: ₹26 crore
- Day 2 Earnings: ₹29 crore
- Total Collection (Two Days): ₹55 crore
Despite this decent performance, the film couldn’t break into the list of top 10 highest second-day grossers in Bollywood.

While Sikandar earned ₹29 crore on its second day, these Bollywood biggies set the benchmark:
- Pathan – ₹68 crore
- Animal – ₹58.37 crore
- Tiger 3 – ₹58 crore

Will ‘Sikandar’ Recover Its ₹200 Crore Budget?
With a reported budget of ₹200 crore, Sikandar has a long way to go before breaking even. The underwhelming response on its opening day, even with the Eid holiday, raises concerns about its weekday performance.
It remains to be seen whether word-of-mouth can help the film gain momentum in the coming days. Stay tuned for more box office updates on Sikandar.
