Salman Khan’s Sikandar has finally hit cinemas after much anticipation, drawing audiences across India and internationally. The action-packed film has earned Rs 105.89 crore worldwide within two days of its release.

On its opening day, Sikandar collected ₹30.06 crore Net India, ₹35.47 crore Gross India, and ₹19.25 crore overseas. Eid celebrations boosted day two’s earnings by 11%, with collections rising to ₹33.36 crore Net India, ₹39.37 crore Gross India, and ₹11.80 crore overseas. With ₹105.89 crore already in its kitty, the film is set for a promising box office run.

The story follows a determined young man who takes on a corrupt system, fights for the rights of ordinary people, and challenges deep-rooted power structures in an unjust society.

Salman Khan stars in the lead role alongside Rashmika Mandanna. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by A.R. Murugadoss, Sikandar continues to draw large crowds to theatres.

A part of Moneycontrol.com review read, "Sikandar suffers from poor performances, an unimaginative plot, and a weak screenplay. The songs fail to leave an impact, and even the emotional moments lack depth. The film takes significant creative liberties—Pradhan is portrayed as an all-powerful politician, manipulating both the police and immigration departments effortlessly. Salman Khan’s character, meanwhile, remains static from start to finish, prioritizing action over acting. Sharman Joshi is utterly wasted in the role of Salman’s confidante, and Prateik Patil Babbar’s role is inconsequential. If there is any saving grace, it is Rashmika Mandanna, who manages to deliver a performance with some conviction."

It further read, "Sikandar does little to redefine Salman Khan’s on-screen persona, allowing him to stay firmly within his comfort zone. Murugadoss, who previously showcased his prowess in action storytelling with ‘Ghajini,’ completely falters here. Instead of an innovative narrative, this film relies on Khan’s mass appeal without pushing him into new territory. The film is a prime example of lazy storytelling and complacency across multiple departments. From direction to performances to music, it stumbles at every step. In the end, ‘Sikandar’ is nothing but a disappointment, failing to justify its star power or its audience’s expectations."
