Salman
Khan
in
Sikandar.
After
being
in
theatres
for
five
days,
Sikandar
has
crossed
the
Rs
100
crore
(Rs
1
billion)
mark.
The
film
made
more
than
Rs
30
crore
(Rs
300
million)
on
Sunday
and
Monday,
and
then
managed
a
reasonable
hold
on
Tuesday
with
Rs
20+
crore
(Rs
200+
million)
coming
in.
Wednesday
saw
a
big
drop,
as
the
collections
entered
single
digits,
with
a
further
decline
on
Thursday.
As
a
result,
even
though
Rs
100
crore
(Rs
1
billion)
was
expected
in
the
first
three
days
itself,
it
has
taken
the
film
five
days
to
reach
there.
This
is
underwhelming
because
the
Salman
Khan
starrer
is
a
biggie,
released
on
the
widest
count
of
screens
with
practically
all
theatres
at
its
disposal.
Considering
that,
it
had
potential
to
earn
a
lot
more.
In
fact,
at
least
Rs
200
crore
(Rs
2
billion)
should
have
come
by
now.
The
film
saw
quite
some
criticism
come
its
way
and
coupled
with
piracy
and
negativity
on
social
media,
the
decline
that
it
saw
was
unprecedented.
Sikandar
will
have
another
week
to
itself
before
Jaat
arrives
next
Friday.
It
may
cross
the
Rs
135
crore
to
Rs
140
crore
(Rs
1.34
billion
to
Rs
1.4
billion)
mark
with
a
lifetime
of
Rs
300
crore
(Rs
3
billion).
Let’s
see
how
long
it
takes
to
get
there.
Note:
All
collections
as
per
various
box
office
sources.
