Reportedly made on a budget of ₹200 crore, the action-thriller did a global business of ₹149.25 crore gross within 5 days, Sacnilk stated. This figure is a sum of ₹107.25 crore gross India box office earnings and the remaining ₹42 crore gross was amassed in the overseas market.

However, the filmmakers in a post on Instagram claimed that the movie grossed ₹169.78 crore at the worldwide box office during its five-day run in theatres.

Salman Khan movie shattered records on its release day as it became the highest-earning Bollywood film on its opening day in overseas markets. Notably, it raked in around $2.25 million on its first day worldwide.

Hours before its official theatrical release on March 30, Sikandar was leaked online, which seems to have significantly impacted its earnings as it appeared to have underperformed for Salman Khan fans. Furthermore, the film did not receive positive reviews from critics, for instance film trade analyst called it “dull” and gave only 2-star rating.

Sikandar also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Suneil Shetty, Sathyaraj, Prateik Babbar and Sharman Joshi in pivotal roles, besides Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead.
