Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 4: Salman Khan's Film Earns ₹84 Crore in India, Trails Behind Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki
Salman Khan's much-anticipated action drama Sikandar has shown strong performance at the domestic box office, collecting a solid ₹84 crore within its first four days of release. Despite the impressive figures, the film has not managed to surpass the pace set by Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki, which had a stronger opening weekend and continues to dominate in terms of cumulative earnings.
Directed by AR Murugadoss, Sikandar opened to packed theatres across India and witnessed a steady flow of audiences over the weekend. The film's mass appeal, high-octane action sequences, and Salman's star power contributed to its robust start. However, trade analysts note that Sikandar faced stiff competition from holdover releases and regional films.
In comparison, Dunki, helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, had raked in over ₹100 crore within its first four days when it hit theatres. The film's strong emotional narrative, combined with Shah Rukh Khan's pan-India popularity and critical acclaim, gave it an edge that Sikandar is yet to overcome.
Industry insiders suggest that while Sikandar may not have beaten Dunki in terms of early collections, it still has the potential for a long and profitable run at the box office-especially if it continues to draw in family audiences and Salman loyalists.
With the Eid holiday period giving a further boost to collections, all eyes are now on how Sikandar performs through the crucial first week.
