Hello Bollywood buffs! It’s your favorite snoop, Khabree Kiran, here to spice up your day with some filmi gupshup. Grab your chai and let’s dive into the glittery world of Bollywood, where box office battles are as thrilling as a Salman Khan action sequence! 😎
So, our beloved bhaijaan, Salman Khan, is back with his Eid release, Sikandar. But alas, the box office fireworks seem to have fizzled out, with a mere opening of 30.06 crore. Eid pe Salman ka jaadoo nahi chala this time, folks! Remember the good old days when he ruled the Eid box office like a king? From Sultan to Bajrangi Bhaijaan, he’s had a good run. But now, it seems like the Eid magic is fading faster than you can say ‘Bhai ka commitment’. 🤷♀️
The 90s Eid Dhamaka!
Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we? Before Salman became the undisputed Eid king, it was Anil Kapoor who set the box office ablaze with his Eid release Beta in 1992. Yes, you heard that right! Anil Kapoor, with his Jhakkas charm, was the original Eid superstar. Paired with the ever-graceful Madhuri Dixit, their film Beta delivered a knockout performance at the box office, earning a jaw-dropping profit of 237.5%! Makes you wanna say, ‘Wah, kya baat hai!’ 😲
Beta’s Blockbuster Stats
When Madhuri’s iconic ‘Dhak Dhak Karne Laga’ set hearts racing, Beta raked in a cool 13.5 crore on a modest budget of 4 crore. Talk about a paisa vasool film! It was the highest-grossing film of 1992, leaving even the likes of Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor trailing behind. If Salman wants to match Anil’s record, he better bring his A-game and a lot more than just his charm to the table! 😜
Jab Sikandar Met Chhaava
Fast forward to 2025, and Sikandar faces the Herculean task of surpassing Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, which is still going strong with a whopping 606.26 crore. To even dream of matching Beta‘s profits, Salman’s film needs to hit an impossible 675 crore mark. With a budget of 200 crore, that’s like trying to find logic in a Bollywood masala film – a rare commodity indeed! 😅
Kiran’s Gyan
Bollywood and Eid releases are like chai and biscuit – a classic combo! But remember, doston, in this business, ek din ka Sultan, doosre din ka struggler ban sakta hai. So, to all the aspiring filmmakers out there, keep your scripts tight, your budgets realistic, and always have a Plan B… because in Bollywood, kal kisne dekha? 😉
Stay tuned for more Bollywood gossip and drama, mere dosto! Until next time, keep those filmi dreams alive and kicking! 💃🕺
