Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ Smashes Eid Records, Becomes 4th Highest Opening Day Earner in History

Ladies and Gentlemen, step right up for the latest box office spectacle starring none other than the Sultan of the Silver Screen, Mr. Salman Khan! His latest flick, Sikandar, directed by the action maestro A.R. Murugadoss and featuring the dazzling Rashmika Mandanna, has thrown its hat into the ring of Eid blockbusters. It opened with a bang, raking in a modest Rs. 30.06 crore on its first day. Now, you might think, "That’s the fourth-highest Eid opener? Really?" But remember, in the world of Bollywood, it’s not just about the numbers; it’s about the drama, darling!

Eid has always been Salman’s personal playground, where his films have historically done a victory lap around the box office records. Leading the charge is Bharat, with a jaw-dropping Rs. 42.30 crore on its first day. Sultan flexes its muscles at Rs. 36.54 crore, while the spy thriller Ek Tha Tiger prowls at Rs. 32.93 crore. With Sikandar now claiming the fourth spot, Salman has once again shown us why he’s the king of the festive box office jungle.

Let’s talk about the films Sikandar has effortlessly outpaced. Race 3, despite its mixed reviews and, let’s be honest, more plot twists than a pretzel, managed Rs. 29.17 crore. Then there’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan, a film that touched hearts and wallets alike, launching with Rs. 27.25 crore and soaring to become one of Salman’s top earners. Even Kick was left, well, kicking dust at Rs. 26.40 crore.

Lower on the totem pole, we find Bodyguard and Tubelight, with rather dim opening numbers of Rs. 21.60 crore and Rs. 21.15 crore respectively. Tubelight tried to shine with an offbeat story but fizzled quicker than a Diwali sparkler. Meanwhile, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and the original Dabangg round off the top ten, showing us the highs and lows of Salman’s box office rollercoaster.

Top 10 Highest Eid Opening Day Grossers:

  • Bharat – Rs. 42.30 cr
  • Sultan – Rs. 36.54 cr
  • Ek Tha Tiger – Rs. 32.93 cr
  • Sikandar – Rs. 30.06 cr
  • Race 3 – Rs. 29.17 cr
  • Bajrangi Bhaijaan – Rs. 27.25 cr
  • Kick – Rs. 26.40 cr
  • Bodyguard – Rs. 21.60 cr
  • Tubelight – Rs. 21.15 cr
  • Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan – Rs. 15.81 cr

    As we watch Sikandar carve its path through the holiday season, we’ll see if it can ride the wave to even greater heights. One thing is for sure: Salman Khan’s reign over the Eid box office remains as firm as his onscreen punches. So, whether it’s a blockbuster or a blunder, we know one thing—Salman’s here to stay, and the box office better be ready for a bumpy ride!

    Stay tuned as the saga unfolds, because in Bollywood, the only thing more unpredictable than the plot is the box office!
