Despite a strong opening, Salman Khan’s Sikandar struggled at the box office, failing to recover its ₹200 crore budget after facing stiff competition from Jaat and Kesari 2.
April 28, 2025: Mumbai —
Salman Khan’s much-anticipated film Sikandar has concluded its box office journey on a disappointing note, with a final worldwide gross of approximately ₹177 crore. Despite massive pre-release hype and Salman’s star power, the action drama failed to meet expectations, especially against heavy competition from Sunny Deol’s Jaat and Akshay Kumar’s Kesari 2.
According to industry estimates, Sikandar collected around ₹102.25 crore net in India and ₹49 crore from overseas markets. The film’s total worldwide gross thus stands at ₹177 crore, falling significantly short of its massive ₹200 crore production budget.

Jaat, released shortly after Sikandar, performed exceptionally well at the box office, while Kesari 2 further dented Sikandar’s hold in theatres, leading to a sharp decline in collections.
Initially expected to be one of the biggest blockbusters of 2025, Sikandar has instead been categorized among the underperformers of the year. Trade analysts point to tough competition, mixed audience reviews, and the crowded release calendar as major reasons for its lukewarm reception.
With this, Salman Khan’s streak at the box office sees another setback, and industry watchers now eagerly await his next move to bounce back.
