Sikandar faces criticism

Sikandar was released on Sunday, March 30, coinciding with Eid celebrations across the country. According to reports, trade analysts and experts warned the film about missing the Friday release concept, which may have impacted the numbers. The film also faced piracy issues ahead of its release, where viewers called Sikandar lousy and criticised Salman Khan for not putting in effort.

The action thriller minted a whopping ₹26 crore in India on its opening day. However, the film has been earning less than a crore in the last few days. Sikandar reported a significant drop in numbers after Sunny Deol's Jaat hit the big screens on Thursday, April 10.
