Sikandar vs Jaat Box office collections: The Bollywood box office has turned into a battleground between Salman Khan’s much-awaited action drama Sikandar and Sunny Deol’s Jaat. Theaters across the country are now running most of their shows with these two major releases. As Jaat is gaining strong momentum across India, Sikandar is seeing a gradual decline in its earnings. Both films have captured attention through their action and entertaining scenes from the audiences. But are they really performing on a good scale?
Salman Khan’s Sikandar earned only Rs 1 crore on Day 14 amid its struggle at the box office after its opening weekend. However, the film has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in 15 days at the domestic box office. According to Sacnilk, Sikandar had an overall 14.55% Hindi occupancy on April 12. So far, the film’s total collection stands at Rs 109.04 crore.
However, Jaat has made a significant impact at the box office, especially during its opening weekend. The action-packed movie, which blends with high-octane sequences, has crossed 40 crore after four days. On Sunday, the film saw a jump of almost 45%, earning Rs 14 crore.
Will Sunny Deol’s Jaat be as big a hit as Gadar 2?
Sunny Deol is popular for his action-packed roles and his last release, Gadar 2, was a blockbuster success. This brings more expectations from Jaat in the audience. While Gadar 2 thrived on nostalgia and patriotic emotions, Jaat is banking on action and star power. Initially, within the first week, the film gained good records, but the film is now facing stiff competition from Sikandar. If Jaat has to match Gadar 2’s success, it will need strong word-of-mouth, sustained audience interest, and repeat viewings.
What does Sikandar’s slow numbers say about Salman Khan’s stardom?
Salman Khan’s Sikandar is facing challenges at the box office, largely impacted by the overwhelming success of Jaat after 14 days of release. While Sikandar opened with high expectations, it has seen a noticeable dip in collections over the past week, especially on Day 14 (April 12), where it earned just Rs 21 lakh, reflecting an 8.7% decline from the previous day.
Salman’s last release, 2023’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, performed poorly at the box office too. Is the audience finally giving up on chest-thumping poorly written ‘masala’ movies?
Box office battle between Jaat and Sikandar
Amid the box office battle that continues, the recently released Sunny Deol-led action thriller, Jaat, is expected to maintain its momentum in the coming weeks. Sikandar is now facing a dwindling number in its earnings. The Jaat’s widespread appeal and strong performances have set the stage for a giant run at the box office.
But Sikandar, despite its star cast and massive opening, is finding it difficult to hold its ground against the juggernaut that is Jaat. As the weeks unfold, all eyes are on whether Sikandar can recover or if Jaat will solidify its reign as the season’s biggest hit. The popularity of both movies now hinges on word-of-mouth, audience loyalty, and the enduring draw of their lead stars.
