The excitement for Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna’s much-anticipated film Sikandar continues to build as advance bookings for the film begin to show impressive numbers. In just a few hours, over 40,000 tickets have been sold, with the Hindi 2D version alone grossing Rs 1.13 crore. As of now, including block bookings, the film has earned more than Rs 5 crore in ticket sales, with a total of 7,952 shows scheduled across India. This early surge in ticket sales indicates that Sikandar is set to become a major box office contender this Eid.
Regional Breakdown of Ticket Sales
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Delhi is leading the ticket sales chart, with 21.84 lakh tickets sold, followed by Rajasthan with 13.33 lakh and Maharashtra with 20.39 lakh. However, some regions are seeing a slower response, such as Himachal Pradesh, which has only sold 1,150 tickets so far. Despite this, distributors remain confident that Sikandar will cross the Rs 50 crore mark in ticket sales by the end of its opening weekend, as the film continues to gain traction in other areas.
A Cinematic Event of the Year
With its star-studded cast and an engaging storyline blending action, emotion, and suspense, Sikandar is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of 2025. Fans from across Europe have also shown their excitement by quickly reserving seats, further increasing anticipation for the film. The movie promises to redefine the action genre with its spectacular visuals and thrilling narrative, making it a cinematic event that fans won’t want to miss.
Salman Khan’s Powerful Return
The trailer for Sikandar has already caught the audience’s attention with high-octane action sequences, intense dialogues, and Salman Khan’s commanding screen presence. The film is particularly significant for Khan, as it marks his return to the big screen after his 2023 release Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Fans are eagerly awaiting his next action-packed project, and Sikandar promises to deliver just that. Directed by AR Murugadoss, known for hits like Ghajini and Holiday, the film is expected to further elevate Salman Khan’s reputation as a box-office magnet.
