How will Sikandar perform in comparison to the top 10 Bollywood films with the biggest first Sunday collections? Here’s a thorough box office analysis
The anticipation is building as fans eagerly await Salman Khan’s Eidi, Sikandar. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the action-packed thriller is set to release on the last day of the weekend. But where will it land in terms of the highest first Sunday collections in Bollywood? Check details below:
Sikandar is set to hit theatres worldwide on March 30, 2025. The stakes are high, especially since Tiger 3 was released on a Sunday and missed out on the benefits of a full first weekend.
Mixed reviews followed, affecting its footfall during the regular workweek. However, early insider reviews for Salman’s upcoming film are positive, so here’s hoping for a successful run.
Sikandar vs. Bollywood’s Top Sunday Collections: How Does It Measure Up?
If you look in the past, you will find SRK’s Jawan was released on a Thursday and quickly gained strong word-of-mouth throughout its first weekend.
With impressive advance bookings and steady ticket sales on BookMyShow, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer earned over 80 crore on its first Sunday, breaking the record for the highest Sunday collections in Bollywood.
After Jawan, Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal takes the second spot, crossing 70 crore on its first Sunday. Other blockbusters rounding out the top 5 include Gadar 2, Stree 2, and Pathaan.

What Position Will Sikandar Hold In the Top 10 Highest Sunday collections?
With the current momentum, Sikandar is poised to cross 45 crore on its opening day. The spotlight is now on the trailer, set for release tomorrow, March 23, 2024. If the trailer clicks with the audience, the Salman Khan starrer could easily surpass the 50-crore mark on day one.
Tiger 3 and Tiger Zinda Hai have previously made their way into the top 10. If Sikandar follows suit, Salman Khan could share the spotlight with Ranbir Kapoor, who also has three films in the top 10. As of now, Salman is tied with Shah Rukh Khan, who has two films in the top 10 – Jawan and Pathaan.
