It is curtains for Sikandar as it fails to show much growth on the big EID holiday.
Sikandar has shown only minor growth on its second day, failing to capitalize on the big Eid day. Collections are expected to rise by just 5-10%, bringing in around 26-27 crores net, pushing the two-day total to 51-52 crores net.

However, poor word of mouth continues to limit its reach, especially among neutral audiences.
The film’s biggest jump is coming from Uttar Pradesh, where collections have doubled due to strong footfalls in Muslim-dominated centers. Bihar and Nizam/Andhra are also seeing some growth.

Meanwhile, Gujarat is witnessing a significant 25-30% drop due to limited Muslim population. The Eid holiday is helping it stay afloat for now, but post-weekend trends will be crucial.
Overseas, Sikandar has had a decent start, grossing around $2.25 million on day one, with Gulf, US/Canada, and the UK contributing $1.75 million. The worldwide opening stands at ₹50 crore but maintaining this momentum will be a tough task.

Tomorrow’s Bassi Eid will provide some relief, preventing a sharp crash at the box office. However, collections are expected to drop to around 12-15 crores. From Wednesday, the film is likely to fall into single digits.
The five-day first week (Sunday-Thursday) is projected to close at around 80 crores. The second weekend could add another 10 crores, after which the film will fade out. In the best-case scenario, Sikandar may end its run between 100-110 crores.
