Gather ’round, my Bollywood aficionados! Yours truly, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, is back with another delightful dose of drama straight from the heart of B-town. Are you ready for some box office banter? Let’s dive right in! 🎬✨
Sikandar Smashes It on Day 2
Salman Khan and his Eid releases have always been a match made in cinema heaven. This year, the box office got its much-awaited gift in the form of Sikandar. While the opening day was more of a gentle breeze than a storm, Eid brought a whirlwind of viewers to the theaters, sweeping away previous records like dust on a film set. 🎆
Day 2: Eid Magic at the Box Office
Though Sikandar tiptoed into theaters with less fanfare than expected, by Monday, our beloved ‘Bhai’ was showered with cinematic Eidi (that’s a gift for those who don’t speak Bollywood). The film’s earnings soared like a kite in the Eid sky, and the producers have been kind enough to share the official figures. 🥳
- On its first day, Sikandar raked in a modest 30.06 crore.
- Day two saw a whopping 39.37 crore in India alone.
- In just two days, the film amassed a total of 69.43 crores. Not too shabby, right?
Breaking Records Like a Pro
On its second day, Sikandar flexed its muscles and did some serious damage at the box office, leaving several films eating its dust. It collected over 39 crores, surpassing the likes of Race 3, Brahmastra, Sultan, and Chhava. Here’s a quick rundown of the competition it left behind: - Sikandar: 39.37 crore
- Sanju: 38.6 crore
- Race 3: 38.14 crore
- Brahmastra: 38 crore
- Sultan: 37.32 crore
- Adipurush: 37 crore
- Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: 37 crore
- Chhava: 37 crore
- Bajrangi Bhaijaan: 36.6 crore
- Tiger Zinda Hai: 35.3 crore
Inching Towards the 100 Crore Club
With over 80 crores in its pocket in just two days, Sikandar is just 20 crores shy of recovering half its budget, which stands at a jaw-dropping 200 crores. The film is expected to join the 100 crore club before the weekend’s over. 🎯Directed by the talented AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar is a celebrity filled affair featuring Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Prateik Babbar, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sharman Joshi, among others. 🎥
Nisha’s Nutshell
In Bollywood, Eid isn’t just a festival; it’s a box office bonanza. And remember, when in doubt, just release a film on Eid – because the only thing better than a blockbuster is a blockbuster with biryani! 🍛
