Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ Kicks Off to a Mediocre Start at the Box Office with a Whopping Rs. 30 Crore Opening

When a Box Office Sultan Turns into a Mere Prince—The Tale of "Sikandar"

Cue the drum roll, folks! The much-anticipated Salman Khan extravaganza, Sikandar, has finally graced the silver screens. But hold your fireworks because the box office debut might just make you say, "Oops, he did it again." Our dear Dabangg Khan has clocked in a modest ₹29 to ₹31 crores on Day 1. For mere mortals, this would be a triumph, but for Salman, it’s like ordering a Diet Coke with your Biryani—kind of missing the point, right?

Now, let’s dive into why this rollercoaster feels more like a kiddie ride. The film’s magnetism seems to be stronger in the mass heartlands than in the urbane multiplexes. Could it be the trailers that promised a snooze-fest or the songs that were as memorable as last week’s grocery list? Even the marketing campaign struggled to create a buzz, leaving only the diehard Bhai fans to rally the troops.

And then there’s the plot twist nobody wants—a lukewarm audience reception. With Eid festivities wrapping up by Tuesday, Sikandar faces an uphill battle. The ₹100 crore club might be within reach, but for Salman, that’s just a footnote in his Bollywood resume. Remember the golden era of ₹300 crores? Those days seem as distant as a Sunday without a Bigg Boss episode.

So, what’s next for our beloved Bhaijaan? Reinvention seems to be the word on the grapevine. Monday promises a brief surge, thanks to the Eid holiday, when single screens will be buzzing like a bee in a bonnet. But beyond that, well, let’s just say, "Sikandar" might need more than just a magic carpet ride to reach for the stars.

In conclusion, if Sikandar were a dish, it would be "bland biryani"—promising but lacking the spice. Over to you, Salman, for the next blockbuster recipe!
