On March 30, 2025, Salman Khan made it to the theatres with his much-awaited release, Sikandar.’ Starring Bollywood’s superstar Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead, the movie opened with lukewarm numbers and mixed reactions. On the one hand, where the movie’s storyline couldn’t do justice to the viewers’ expectations, the online leak of the film in HD print just a few hours ahead of the premiere impacted the collection. The Eid treat to Salman Khan’s fans witnessed a major dip after the festival. With a drop of more than 30 percent, the film on its 3rd day, i.e., Tuesday, minted only Rs. 19.5 crore in India.
