After
collecting
Rs
30.06
crore
(Rs
306
million)
on
Sunday,
all
eyes
were
on
the
kind
of
numbers
Sikandar
would
see
on
Monday.
Eid
has
traditionally
seen
very
good
collections
for
Salman
Khan
starrers,
especially
pre-pandemic,
and
hence
all
hopes
on
building
further
momentum
were
pinned
on
the
festival.
Ideally,
there
is
more
than
a
25
percent
jump
expected
on
this
day,
if
not
more.
Moreover,
since
the
film
had
opened
lower
than
original
expectations,
it
was
all
the
more
necessary
that
on
Eid,
the
film
does
go
past
the
Rs
40
crore
(Rs
400
million)
mark.
That
did
not
happen
though,
as
the
growth
happened
marginally
with
Rs
32
crore*
(Rs
320
million*)
coming
in.
The
mass
areas,
especially
the
smaller
towns
in
the
North,
saw
higher
footfalls.
But
the
class
audiences,
especially
the
multiplexes
in
the
bigger
cities,
saw
either
static
or
lower
footfalls.
They
balanced
each
other
to
give
a
decent
growth.
The
Salman
Khan
starrer
has
crossed
the
Rs
60
crore
(Rs
600
million)
mark
and
currently
stands
at
Rs
62.06
crore*
(Rs
620.6
million).
The
Tuesday
collections
should
hold
to
an
extent
due
to
the
post
Eid
factor,
which
means
about
Rs
20
crore
(Rs
200
million)
may
come
in.
The
Rs
100
crore
(Rs
1
billion)
mark
may
be
crossed
by
the
close
of
the
first
five
days
of
the
film’s
run.
One
expected
the
film
to
enter
at
least
the
Rs
300
Crore
Club
(Rs
3
billion)
in
its
lifetime
but
that
will
certainly
not
happen.
One
waits
to
see
just
how
far
it
will
eventually
go.
*Estimates.
Note:
All
collections
as
per
various
box
office
sources.
