Sikandar Worldwide Box Office Collection Day 9: Salman Khan’s Action-Drama Crosses ₹200 Crore Globally Despite Mixed Reviews
Sikandar’s Box Office Journey So Far: From Lukewarm Start to Solid Climb
Despite carrying immense star power, Sikandar had a below-average opening due to lukewarm reviews, a relatively conventional storyline, and strong competition from other films released around the same time. However, thanks to the festival season, family audiences, and Salman Khan’s mass appeal, the film has witnessed a sharp upward trend at the box office, particularly in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.

Sikandar’s Global Reach and Overseas Performance
The film has performed reasonably well in the Gulf, US, Canada, and Australia, with overseas fans responding positively to the masala-action formula. Even though it doesn’t match the overseas records set by Salman’s earlier hits like Tiger Zinda Hai or Sultan, Sikandar has shown strong legs in the international circuit, especially over the weekends.
Comparison With Other Salman Khan Films
| Film | 9-Day Worldwide Gross (₹ Cr) |
|---|---|
| Tiger 3 (2023) | 384.45 |
| Sikandar (2025) | 200.93 |
| Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023) | 158 |
| Bharat (2019) | 229.15 |
| Race 3 (2018) | 192.5 |
While Sikandar hasn’t broken into the upper echelons of Salman’s highest-grossers, it has already outperformed his recent outing “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan”, and is on track to match or cross Bharat’s record if the current momentum holds.
Tough Competition at the Box Office
Sikandar is facing stiff competition from several major Indian releases:
- Sankranthiki Vasthanam – ₹255.2 crore (WW)
- L2: Empuraan – ₹257+ crore (WW)
- Chava – ₹800+ crore (WW, all-language behemoth)
While Chava is on a league of its own, Sikandar is likely to overtake Sankranthiki Vasthanam and secure third place among 2025’s highest-grossing Indian films in the coming days.
About the Film: Storyline and Cast
Sikandar revolves around Sanjay Rajkot, a former royal-turned-rebel, who takes a stand against political corruption and injustice. As he battles a morally bankrupt system, his personal life, relationships, and public image are put to the ultimate test.
🔸 Main Cast:
- Salman Khan as Sanjay Rajkot
- Rashmika Mandanna
- Sathyaraj
- Kajal Aggarwal
- Sharman Joshi
- Prateik Babbar
- Kishore
- Jatin Sarna
- Sanjay Kapoor
Despite mixed reviews criticizing the film’s predictable plot, uneven screenplay, and average performances by the supporting cast, fans have praised Salman’s charisma, high-octane action scenes, and mass dialogues.
Fan Reactions and Social Media Buzz
The film’s production house, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, posted a celebratory update on Instagram:
“Thank you for making #Sikandar a part of your celebrations. We are grateful for your love.”
Fans flooded the comment section with congratulatory messages, hailing the film as a “mass entertainer.” Hashtags like #Sikandar200CrClub, #SalmanKhanMass, and #RashmikaMandanna were trending across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube.
Future Expectations: Can Sikandar Maintain the Momentum?
With word of mouth improving and family audiences flocking during the holiday season, Sikandar is expected to:
- Cross ₹225 crore worldwide by Day 11-12
- Possibly touch ₹250 crore mark in its lifetime run
- Cement its place as one of the Top 5 Indian films of 2025 so far
Its performance will depend heavily on:
- Weekday drops
- Sustained interest in B and C centers
- Lack of strong new releases in the coming week
