Sikander Box Office: 6-Day Collection & Performance
Megastar Salman Khan’s film Sikander has completed six days in cinemas, achieving impressive collections not just from India but also from overseas. The film’s journey is still in its early stages, with the upcoming weekend, including Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, anticipated to bring a significant surge in its earnings.
Sikander’s Box Office Milestones: ₹150 Crore Club
Despite receiving mixed reviews and some negative feedback, Sikander successfully crossed the ₹150 crore mark at the box office, primarily due to the brand power of Salman Khan. With a budget of ₹200 crore, the film is poised to surpass its production cost very soon. No new Bollywood film has been released this week, allowing Sikander to maintain a strong screen count. The film is expected to see a major boost in collections over the next two days, with Saturday and Sunday projected to be so strong that the film could exceed its budget in these two days alone. Historically, Salman Khan’s films, even those less acclaimed, often comfortably earn ₹200-300 crore. A well-received film could potentially achieve ₹1000 crore. Sikander is on track to at least recover its budget and secure a “Hit” status at the box office.
Sikander Day-Wise Collections & Weekend Outlook
Directed by A.R. Murugadoss, Sikander had a strong opening, followed by impressive weekend collections. However, collections saw a noticeable drop during the weekdays after the initial holiday period. The film’s opening day collection in India was ₹30 crore 6 lakh. Within four days, it accumulated ₹96 crore 65 lakh in the Indian market. On its fifth day, the film collected ₹7 crore 10 lakh as India net, falling short of the anticipated ₹8.5 crore. For its sixth day, early reports indicate an India net collection of approximately ₹5 crore 80 lakh, as occupancy across morning, afternoon, evening, and night shows has decreased compared to the previous day.
Sikander’s Global Box Office Earnings
With the estimated sixth-day earnings, Sikander‘s total India net collection over six days stands at ₹109 crore 55 lakh. The India gross collection for the same period reached ₹130 crore 36 lakh. Globally, Sikander has amassed a worldwide box office collection of ₹177 crore 51 lakh within its first six days. The film is now poised to see how much of an increase its collections will achieve over the upcoming Saturday and Sunday.
Impuran Box Office: 9-Day Super-Duper Hit Status
The Malayalam action-crime thriller film Impuran, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, has been released in five languages worldwide: Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, and Tamil. With a budget of ₹150 crore, the film has already been declared a “super-duper hit,” having collected significantly more than its budget. The film’s strong earnings trend suggests it could soon cross the ₹300 crore mark.
Impuran India Net and Gross Collections
Impuran recorded an India net collection of ₹88 crore 35 lakh in its initial eight days. On its ninth day, the film collected an estimated ₹3 crore 70 lakh across all languages in India. This brings the film’s total India net collection over nine days to ₹92 crore 5 lakh. The India gross collection for Impuran after nine days is ₹109 crore 53 lakh.
Impuran’s Worldwide Box Office Tally
The worldwide box office collection for Impuran up to nine days stands at ₹247 crore 19 lakh. Given its budget of ₹150 crore, the film is expected to surpass the ₹250 crore mark by tomorrow. This strong performance solidifies its status as a “super-duper hit” at the box office.
