Sikandar - the movie of many firsts

Sikandar is the first time when Salman collaborates with both director AR Murugadoss as well as his female co-star Rashmika Mandanna. The movie has also applied a new strategy. It is the first time that any Bollywood film breaks the Friday release rule and not for a Thursday or mid-week release, but for a Sunday release. This happens mainly because Salman wanted his movie to be out closer to Eid, which falls on Monday, March 31.

Sikandar not remotely close to Rs. 100 crore, yet

It is just day 1 in advance booking so it is expected but Salman Khan’s Sikandar is not even remotely close to earning Rs. 100 crore at the Box Office, not yet. The movie has not even minted Rs. 10 crore in the advance booking so far. In that sense, it has a slow opening, but it has a higher scope of picking up tomorrow. Whether it is the Sunday release that contributes to the lack of awareness among viewers or something else, will get clearer as the numbers are revealed on Saturday, which is a day before the movie’s big release in theatres.
