By the fifth day, Sikandar crossed the ₹100 crore mark, becoming Salman Khan’s 18th film to enter the coveted 100 Crore Club. However, this milestone was accompanied by a significant drop of over 45% in collections compared to previous days. YouTube
In comparison to contemporaneous releases, Sikandar faced stiff competition. For instance, Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava recorded higher morning occupancy rates, with Sikandar experiencing an 86% lower turnout than Chhaava on the third day. KoimoiPinkvilla
