Overview

  • 'Sikandar,' Salman Khan’s first Eid release in two years, has earned ₹72 crore domestically and ₹95 crore worldwide over three days.

  • Competition from major releases like 'Pushpa 2' and changing audience preferences for content-driven narratives have further impacted its prospects.
