Sikandar Day 2 Morning Occupancy Crashes: Salman Khan Film Trails Behind South Hits & Flops Like Loveyapa
March 31, 2025: Salman Khan’s Eid 2025 release Sikandar has hit a rough patch at the box office. On Day 2, the film’s morning occupancy has seen a dramatic fall — raising concerns over its theatrical run.
Despite a fair opening on Day 1, Sikandar failed to hold momentum as negative word-of-mouth and poor reviews began to show their impact. According to Sacnilk, the film registered just 8.38% occupancy in morning shows on Monday — a sharp 39% drop from its Day 1 morning numbers (13.76%).
Even more shocking is that Sikandar is now trailing behind not just other big Bollywood titles, but also several underwhelming releases from earlier this year.
Yes, Sikandar has recorded lower occupancy than Loveyapa — a film that barely made noise — and even the widely mocked Badass Ravi Kumar.
The contrast becomes starker when you look at how South Indian films are performing at the same time:
Even on its fifth day, L2: Empuraan is miles ahead of Sikandar, reinforcing the dominance of South films in terms of audience pull and staying power.
With tomorrow being a regular working day, even evening and night shows may not bring much relief for Sikandar. While spot bookings could offer a slight lift, the overall trend suggests a disappointing trajectory for this big-budget release.
Released with sky-high expectations and an Eid advantage, Sikandar is now battling poor reviews, weak word-of-mouth, and competition from stronger content across languages.
