Hari Hara Veera Mallu was released on 24 July 2025, so it has been four days since the film hit theatres. The film had a good amount of pre-release hype. The governments of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh allowed a special ticket price hike for a limited time, as per the Times of India. However, despite all these factors working in its favour, the film received negative word-of-mouth publicity, which severely hurt its chances of becoming truly successful. As a result, the makers came up with a new solution of altering the final cut to bring audiences back to the theatres.

Changes Made To Hari Hara Veera Mallu

The solution they came up with was to trim the film to reduce its length. According to 123 Telugu, 10 to 15 minutes of the total runtime have been removed. Since yesterday, this new version has been playing in theatres.

Faces the rejection

The Tollywood period action drama has faced rejection from the neutral audience. After the initial shows on the opening day, the feedback was out stating that the second half of the film was a big letdown. The makers are reportedly planning to trim the second half, but now, it’s too late, as the verdict is already out.

How much did Hari Hara...

The much-anticipated epic, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, featuring Pawan Kalyan, has hit a rough patch after a promising start, adding to the actor’s recent streak of disappointing box office performances. Although it kicked off with a solid ₹49.50 crore gross on its opening day in India, the film took a nosedive on day two, raking in just ₹9.50 crore—a jaw-dropping 80% drop that spells serious trouble for its long-term success.

With only ₹59 crore collected in its first two days across India and a worldwide total creeping up to ₹70 crore, the film seems to be losing steam much sooner than anyone anticipated. What began as hopes for a mass entertainer has now shifted to worries about it not even hitting the ₹100 crore mark globally—definitely not what you’d expect from a project of this magnitude and star power.

Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and co-directed by Jyothi Krishna, the film boasts a...

It earned an estimated total of 28 lakhs on the third weekend, which is simply disappointing for a Salman Khan film. However, the overall box office collections,...

Box Office: John Abraham’s The Diplomat Scores Higher Than Salman Khan’s Sikandar On Good Friday (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Yesterday, on the occasion of Good Friday, only one noteworthy film from Bollywood was released in theatres. Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday’s Kesari Chapter 2 arrived in theatres. Sunny Deol’s Jaat entered its second week, and there are some leftovers in the form of Salman Khan’s Sikandar and John Abraham’s The Diplomat. Let’s find out how the latter two fared at the Indian box office on Good Friday holiday!

Good Friday has never been a big occasion for Bollywood, but since it’s a holiday, strong footfall was expected in theatres. Unfortunately, none of the Bollywood releases that are running in theatres made full use of this auspicious occasion. Among the leftovers, there was minimal movement at ticket windows, but an interesting thing happened.

The Salman Khan starrer Sikandar is undergoing a disastrous run at the box office. Not only the cash registers, but the film has vastly disappointed the critics and the masses, too. Here is taking a look at the box office collection of the film on its 19th day.

Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 19

On its 19th day, the Salman Khan starrer earned 129.41 crores at the Indian box office. The movie has turned out to be a colossal disaster as it is most likely to wrap up without recovering its budget. For the unversed, the film is mounted at a mammoth budget of 200 crores.

However, with its current India net collection of 129.41 crores, Sikandar has managed to cover 64% of its budget. Apart from this, the day-wise collections have also fallen below 20 lakhs. There is little or no hope left for the movie now.

From the ‘80s all the way to the early 2010s, Nicolas Cage was one of the most popular actors in all of Hollywood. I became a fan of his after watching Con Air and Face/Off on a loop because they were on TV all the time. But while most of his films were released on the big screen first until 2013, he turned a page in 2014 and didn’t stop starring in direct-to-video movies until 2017. Many were perplexed as to why Cage was tarnishing his image like that, but I think he didn’t shy away from admitting that he was doing it to pay the bills—bills with a lot of zeros in them. It seemed like he was en route to starting a new era by featuring in projects like Mandy, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Pig. And he kind of did. Nowadays, while he does show up in...

Are Rajinikanth’s Coolie’s makers quoting big bucks for Telugu rights? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Adding fuel to the fire is the latest buzz surrounding the Telugu theatrical rights of Rajinikanth’s Coolie. According to the latest reports from 123telugu, the makers are demanding a massive ₹40 crore for the Telugu distribution rights, isn’t that crazy?

While Rajini’s box office power is undisputed, especially after the success of Jailer, trade experts are now wondering if the film can justify such a high price in the Telugu market. However, it is essential to note that the deal is yet to be locked. The buzz is real, but the stakes are equally high, particularly with another giant gearing up for the same release date.

Sikandar, starring Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, and Sathyaraj in key roles, has come out of the Eid benefit, and today, it was a true litmus test. As expected, the film has witnessed a massive drop today, creating an alarming situation. Amid this, the magnum opus has entered the 100 crore club at the Indian box office, thus crossing the least-expected milestone on day 5. Keep reading to know what early trends suggest!

On Thursday, the Bollywood action drama started with a dismal occupancy of 5% in morning shows. In the afternoon, there wasn’t much of a growth as the occupancy stayed at 8%. In the evening shows, there was minimal growth, with just 9% occupancy. While reports of night shows are yet to come, it is learned that there isn’t any significant improvement.

The average occupancy throughout the nation was not at all good...

Salman Khan’s new film, Sikandar, has been in the spotlight for its box office results. After a solid opening weekend, the movie experienced a notable decline on its fourth day.

Reports indicate that Sikandar has earned Rs 138 crore globally in its first four days. It kicked off with a strong Rs 49 crore on its opening day, followed by Rs 43 crore on Day 2 and Rs 32 crore on Day 3.

However, the film took a significant hit on Day 4, bringing in just Rs 14 crore. This brings the total worldwide gross for Sikandar to Rs 138 crore, with Rs 96 crore from domestic markets and Rs 42 crore from international audiences.

Directed by Ar Murugadoss, Sikandar features a cast that includes Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Prateik Babbar, and Sharman Joshi. While the film is on track to reach the Rs 150 crore milestone soon, it remains uncertain whether it will hit the Rs 200 crore mark globally.

Sikandar Worldwide Box Office Day 4: Soon To Beat Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Sikandar, starring Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, and others, has undoubtedly underperformed a big time in India and overseas. Still, it has amassed a decent total at the worldwide box office by crossing the 150 crore mark in just 4 days. Now, it is just inches away from beating Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force and becoming the second highest-grossing Bollywood film in 2025. Keep reading for a detailed global collection report!

Sikandar pulls off a decent total!

Before the release, expectations were sky-high, but when actuals came in, everyone was shocked. On the opening day, the Bollywood magnum opus earned 54.72 crore gross globally. Since reviews and word-of-mouth were not in favor, the film was expected to crash badly, but that didn’t happen.

Due to the Eid holiday, Sikandar earned 51.17 crore gross on the second day. On Tuesday,...

Salman Khan’s new film, Sikandar, has made over Rs 40 crore in international markets within its opening three days. Directed by Ar Murugadoss, this action drama has had a solid start at the box office.

Reports indicate that Sikandar debuted with Rs 20 crore (Usd 2.35 million) on its first day, including preview screenings. It then earned Rs 11.50 crore (Usd 1.35 million) on Day 2 and Rs 6.35 crore (Usd 0.75 million) on Day 3, bringing its three-day total to Rs 37.80 crore (Usd 4.45 million).

The film is on track to reach the Usd 5 million milestone by the end of its opening week. However, given the lukewarm response, it seems likely that Sikandar will finish its international run below Rs 60 crore (Usd 7 million), which would be disappointing for a Salman Khan film.

In total, the movie has grossed around Rs 124 crore globally in just three days, with Rs 86.50 crore coming from domestic markets alone. It is expected to...

Bollywood films usually don’t have their premieres in the overseas market, and very few have gone through this practice. Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal was the last Bollywood film to have its premieres, and now Sikandar has joined the list. For Salman Khan, it is his second film to have premiere shows at the North American box office after Tiger 3. Unlike Tiger 3, the magnum opus posted low numbers. Keep reading for a detailed report!

Salman enjoys a good fan base in the overseas market, with North America (USA and Canada) being one of his strong territories. His Tiger 3 performed well there, posting a strong number in premiere shows. However, one must consider that Tiger 3 had several other things that worked in favor, like the brand value of the Tiger series,...

Sikandar Box Office Review: Pre-Release Buzz & Expectations

The post-pandemic phase has been tough for all Salmaniacs to deal with, and the reason is known to everyone. One after another, Salman Khan delivered flops, and the superstar, once known as the box office emperor, is struggling to find his form. Out of all the failures, films like Radhe and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan hurt fans the most due to their poor reputation. Unfortunately, Sikandar, too, is ready to join the list. But things were never like this when the film was announced.
