Box Office: 'Sikandar' First Tuesday/Third Day Estimates

The AR Murugadoss directorial is showing a drop of around 30% from the Eid day, as early estimates suggest the collection to be in the range of 19-20 crores net on the first Tuesday. It has the benefit of the Basi Eid Holiday today as total collection is around 74 crores after 3 days.

The audience word of mouth is poor, so there was the fear among the trade that the movie might collapse after Eid day, but the good hold has reignited some hope for the makers.

The real test for Sikandar will begin from Wednesday, though it is now certain to enter the 100 crores club as there is not much competition leading to the second weekend. The lower-than-expected first two days have almost sealed but confirmed the film's fate, but it can still manage to reach a respectable lifetime total by showing similar hold going forward.

Stay tuned...
