Eid has always been the golden period for Bollywood, and Salman Khan has been the king of this festival.
Over the years his Eid releases have broken records; Bharat (2019) was the highest with ₹42 crore, followed by Race 3 (2018) with ₹36 crore and Sultan (2016) with ₹35 crore.
Other big openers include Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) with ₹34 crore and Chennai Express (2013) with ₹33 crore.
As Salman Khan’s Sikandar is all set to release on Eid, expectations are sky high. But the teaser and the song Zohra Jabeen have received a mixed response, and that has raised doubts.
According to industry estimates, the film will open at ₹30-35 crore, which is lower than Sultan despite ticket prices being higher than ever. For Sikandar to make a big impact, it needs to cross ₹40 crore.
₹50 crore would be excellent, ₹40-45 crore would be decent, below ₹40 crore would be underwhelming, and less than ₹30 crore would be a disappointment.
Sikandar may not immediately surpass Bharat, but positive word of mouth can push the collections higher.
Now the fate of the film depends on the audience reaction—will it be an Eid blockbuster or struggle to meet the expectations? The box office battle begins soon.
