Ah, dear readers! Gather around as I, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, unravel the cinematic saga of the latest Salman Khan starrer, "Sikandar." Released on March 30, this political action drama, directed by the renowned A.R. Murugadoss, was expected to make waves—or should I say, a tsunami? But alas, the tides didn’t turn in its favor. Let’s dive into the drama, shall we? 🎬
Sikandar’s Box Office Blues: Day 6
When "Sikandar" hit the big screen, everyone thought it was destined to be the blockbuster of 2025. I mean, come on—Salman Khan’s star power, Murugadoss’s directorial prowess, and Rashmika Mandanna’s so-called ‘lucky charm’? It was the perfect recipe for success! Or so we thought. Turns out, this dish was missing a few crucial spices, and the audience simply didn’t dig in.
The Box Office Chronicles:
- Day 1: The film kicked off with a promising ₹26 crores. 🎉
- Day 2: A slight bump to ₹29 crores.
- Day 3: And then… a slide to ₹19.5 crores.
- Day 4: A nosedive to ₹9.75 crores.
- Day 5: Barely holding on at ₹6 crores.
- Day 6: Reports suggest a further drop to ₹3.75 crores.
Now, the grand total for these six days? A respectable yet underwhelming ₹94 crores. Not quite the blockbuster we were promised, eh?
The Elusive Century Mark
Reaching the ₹100 crores mark seems more elusive than a unicorn sighting these days for "Sikandar." With earnings dwindling faster than a melting ice cream cone in the summer sun, the film’s ambitions of breaking into the ₹100 crores club are starting to look like a pipe dream. And let’s not even talk about covering its hefty ₹200 crores budget! Yikes! The producers must be tossing and turning at night with worry. 😬
Nisha’s Nutshell:
Here’s the moral of our story, my lovely readers: In Bollywood, even a mega star and a famed director can’t guarantee a hit. Sometimes, it seems, the stars just don’t align. Or maybe they were just too busy attending a glamorous Bollywood party instead. 🎉😜
So, folks, what’s the lesson here? Well, in the topsy-turvy world of Bollywood, expect the unexpected! Until next time, keep your popcorn ready and your expectations low! 🍿
