Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 5: Salman Khan’s Actioner Inches Closer to Becoming 2025’s 2nd Highest Bollywood Grosser

Salman Khan’s Eid 2025 release, “Sikandar,” is holding its ground at the box office despite facing mid-week drops. After five days in theatres, the film has earned over ₹105 crore in India, inching closer to overtaking Akshay Kumar’s “Sky Force” to become the second-highest Bollywood grosser of the year.

Sikandar Sees Sharp Mid-Week Dip but Maintains ₹100 Crore Momentum

Directed by AR Murugadoss, “Sikandar” began with an explosive ₹30.06 crore opening on Eid and maintained a strong pace for the next two days. However, as expected with weekday releases, the collections started dropping mid-week.

On Day 5 (Thursday), the film collected ₹7.02 crore, marking a 40% drop from its Wednesday haul of ₹11.74 crore.

Sikandar’s 5-Day Box Office Collection:

• Day 1 (Eid): ₹30.06 crore

• Day 2: ₹33.36 crore

• Day 3: ₹23.02 crore

• Day 4: ₹11.74 crore

• Day 5: ₹7.02 crore
  Total (India Nett): ₹105.20 crore

Third 100 Crore Club Entry of 2025

With this, “Sikandar” becomes Bollywood’s third ₹100 crore club entry of 2025, following the successes of “Chhaava” and “Sky Force”. The film now eyes the latter’s ₹134.93 crore mark to secure the #2 spot among Hindi films this year.

The current gap of just ₹30 crore makes this an achievable feat over the second weekend, which could witness another surge in collections thanks to family audiences and strong single-screen pull.

Budget Recovery: Halfway There

Mounted on a massive ₹200 crore budget, “Sikandar” has already recovered over 52% of its cost in just five days. Trade analysts predict that a strong second weekend could bring the film closer to the breakeven point, especially if it maintains its hold in tier-2 and tier-3 markets.

What’s Next for Sikandar?

As it heads into its second weekend, the spotlight will be on:

• Saturday and Sunday growth trends

• Competition from new releases

• Sustained performance in mass circuits

If the Salman Khan starrer can pull ₹30+ crore more, it will surpass “Sky Force” and become 2025’s second-highest Bollywood grosser, trailing only behind “Chhaava.”
