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...

Vishnu Manchu’s ambitious mythological epic, Kannappa, is kicking off with a bang at the Indian box office, raking in an impressive ₹18.75 crore in just its first two days. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the film is creating quite a stir, not just for its heartfelt storyline but also for its star-studded cameos, especially that of pan-India sensation Prabhas, which has clearly resonated well in Telugu-speaking areas.

The film draws from the legendary tale of Bhakta Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva, and it beautifully weaves together myth, grandeur, and deep emotion. While Vishnu Manchu takes center stage, the project has certainly caught attention thanks to special appearances from big names like Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, and Kajal Aggarwal. These cameos, particularly Prabhas’s, are credited with luring audiences into theaters across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where most of the film’s earnings have been generated.

What’s Good: The core theme of the film revolving around the divinity of Lord Shiva and his greatest disciple Kannappa, action sequences, background score, the cameos hit the right note.

What’s Bad: The shoddy execution especially when it comes to the VFX, the movie fails to evoke the required emotions needed for a devotional film, Vishnu Manchu’s performance appears to be inconsistent, neither the antagonist is menacing enough nor does the romantic subplot strike a chord, the film’s pace seems to be laboriously dragged by the end.

As the prince of a tribal village, he dared to challenge the thin line between superstition and devotion, warning the wrath of his fellow villagers. However, this is the story of how he goes from being a heavy atheist to being one of the fiercest disciple of Lord Shiva.

The first half of Kannappa is fast-paced and wastes no time in developing the intense and valiant character of Thinnadu. He is brave, courageous, righteous, and a perfect son and a lover. However, he refuses to submit to blind superstition and human sacrifices to please the Almighty. This leads him to not only make enemies in his own village but also earn the ire of a marauder chief,...

After Baahubali witnessed a success like never before, two things happened. A – Baahubalification of Prabhas, making him look larger than life and almost heavenly in every frame; B. Baahubalified Films – films that rely heavily on VFX, and most of them are inspired brutally by Baahubali! Kannappa is another grand offering starring a barrage of stars, and the trailer has left me in chaos!

First of all, I am also done with the Mahadevification of Akshay Kumar! After Omg 2, I am done witnessing him as Mahadev! The trailer made me remember some school skits that students perform brilliantly, but at the end of the day, it is a school skit!

Sikandar Ott Verdict (Week 2)(Photo Credit – Instagram)

Salman Khan’s action-packed movie Sikandar had an underwhelming run at the box office but has finally arrived on Netflix. It has been in Netflix’s global top 10 list for two consecutive weeks but dropped to the bottom in week 2. Keep scrolling for more.

The movie was directed by Ar Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. Salman and Sajid have collaborated for over a decade since 2014’s Kick. The film’s cast comprised Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Sathyaraj, Jatin Sarna, Sanjay Kapoor, Prateik Babbar, and Kishore.

Sikandar Ott Verdict Week 2

Sikandar registered the third-best debut of the year on the streaming platform Netflix, behind Jewel Thief and Pushpa 2. Salman Khan’s film generated 5.1 million views in its debut week, securing the #3 spot. However, it fell flat in week 2 in Netflix‘s weekly global top 10 chart. For the week of June 2-...

Actor-turned-director Deepak Tijori’s Do Lafzon Ki Kahani is a heartfelt adaptation of the Korean film, Alone, about a disgraced guilt-stricken boxer and a happy but visibly impaired girl whom he falls in love with.

The theme has been done earlier in films as far-ranging as Douglas Sirk’s A Magnificent Obsession and Gulzar’s Kinara. Deepak Tijori is unable to whip up a powerful concoction on the pain and suffering of two opposites locked in a love relationship.

Sooraj has a past. Since he’s played by Randeep Hooda this past angst is pinned down to the narrative with persuasive energy. Hooda’s coiled clenched performance nourishes the arid areas of Tijori’s narrative. Hooda’s scenes in the boxing ring have more punch than the film’s romantic backbone.The actor is far more well-prepared than the script.

Salman Khan starrer Sikandar may have opened to mixed reviews, but the star power is showing its magic. It has entered the 100 crore club in both the domestic and international regions.

Hits a century in India

The Eid holidays are over, and the box office collections are gradually dipping. But Sikandar has managed to enter the 100 crore club in 5 days of its domestic run. It stands at 105.20 crores net, which is around 124.13 crores in gross earnings.

Half-century incoming at the overseas box office

In the international circuit, Sikandar is slow but steady. In 5 days, it has minted 45.65 crores gross. It is the second highest-grossing Bollywood grosser of 2025 overseas. The action thriller previously...

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,...

Eid 2025 has brought a delightful surprise for Salman Khan fans, as the beloved star makes his return to theaters with his new film, Sikandar. Directed by A R Murugadoss, this romantic action thriller has captured the attention of audiences around the globe, bolstered by a talented cast that includes Prateik Babbar, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sharman Joshi.

After a year and a half away from the silver screen, Salman Khan’s comeback in Sikandar has generated a lot of excitement. His first-time collaboration with Rashmika Mandanna has particularly intrigued viewers, creating a buzz about their on-screen chemistry. Leading up to the release, the film’s trailers and music had already ignited enthusiasm among fans, and the extensive promotional efforts showcasing the fresh pairing of Salman and Rashmika heightened anticipation.

Although the film had a grand opening, its box office performance has been a bit slower than anticipated. It kicked off...

With an opening of 30.06 crore at the box office, Salman Khan’s new arrival, Sikandar has registered an underwhelming start at the box office. Also starring Rashmika Mandanna and Kajal Agarwal, the action biggie is helmed by Ar Murugadoss and was one of the highly anticipated films of the year!

Better Than Last Year’s Eid!

Interestingly, Salman Khan has performed better than two disasters of the last year’s Eid! While Akshay Kumar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan earned 16.07 crore at the box office, Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan earned 7.25 crore on its opening day. In total, the Eid releases brought an opening of 23.32 crore in total.

Sikandar registered 28% higher opening than the cumulative opening of last year’s Eid openers. However, despite earning more than the last year’s Eid disasters on the opening day, Salman Khan...

Sikandar North America Box Office: Earns Almost Half Of L2: Empuraan’s Premieres (Photo Credit – Instagram/YouTube)

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.

Remember the first look of Salman Khan from Sikandar’s sets breaking the internet? Seeing him alongside Ar Murugadoss raised high hopes among everyone,...

Sikandar

Starring Salman Khan

Directed by Ar Murugadoss

Salman Khan’s new release, Sikandar, is a travesty of all good taste and a mockery of all rational justification for a film to exist. It also shamelessly mocks Salman’s superstardom by giving him a screenplay, probably written as a joke by someone who has a grudge against him, which treats his royal character like some kind of a super-hero who was lobotomized by marauders when the haveli’s doors were open.

Salman’s Raja Saab, aka Sikandar and Sanjay(his parents were fans of Indian history and Sunil Dutt-Nargis, we are told) wears a single expression throughout. Even when he is in acute pain (we know that feeling), he seems to be stress-free..Sab theek ho jayega, just chill.

This seems to be Mr Khan’s motion picture motto. The rest of the team follows suit. Not one actor makes...

Sikandar Movie Review Rating:

Star Cast: Salman Khan, Rahsmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi

Director: A. R. Murugadoss

Sikandar Movie Review(Photo Credit –Facebook)

What’s Good: Background score, the core message of the film, some of the action sequences.

What’s Bad: The film falls flat enormously in the second half owing to loopholes in the plot and a shoddy screenplay, Salman Khan’s screen presence is fiery but his performance appears to be monotone, performances of the supporting star cast are not strong, and illogical sub-plots, the final showdown is not engaging enough.

Loo Break: Can opt for one in the songs or in the second half, it might not result in a great loss.

Watch or Not?: Salman Khan fans can give this one a try but it might be a missed opportunity even for them.

Language: Hindi

Available On: Theatrical Release

Runtime: 135 minutes

Sikandar Early Reviews: Salman Khan’s Film May Suffer Due To Bad Reviews! ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Salman Khan and Ar Murugadoss have delivered their labor of love, Sikandar today. The Eid 2025 release witnessed good pre-release hype, but the early reviews are not positive. Netizens on X/Twitter are calling the Rashmika Mandanna co-starrer a lackluster. Scroll below for the latest updates!

Salman Khan arriving on Eid is a grand festival in itself for his massive fan base. The action thriller was expected to break all his previous records and surpass Tiger 3 (44.50 crores) to score the biggest opening of his lifetime. Unfortunately, the advance booking was not upto the mark, and now the early reviews are also worrisome.

Sikandar Reviews on X

A user reacted, “#Sikandar – What was that Murugadoss, sir? Sikandar is a rehash of Raja Vikramarka, Bigil and many other South Indian films. The basic storyline has the...

Sikandar, starring Salman Khan is getting ready to storm the box-office on March 30th. The, probably needless to say but highly anticipated action drama, directed by Ar Murugadoss, also features Rashmika Mandanna, Sharman Joshi, Kajal Aggarwal, Suniel Shetty, Sathyaraj, and Prateik Babbar, among others.

Besides being a man bent on righting wrongs, Sikandar is also at its core a love story. Talking about the essence of Salman and Rashmika’s prem kahaani in Sikandar, the director said, “Here, there’s an element of love that will move the audience. Sikandar has that surprise element—an intense, husband-wife story at its heart.”

Adding, “It explores how families function today, how couples treat each other, and what we might be missing in our relationships. That will be the highlight of the film. Though it is a commercial film, it has a beautiful message.”

Showcasing that love story is newly released song ‘Hum Aapke Bina’. Composed by Pritam,...

Sikandar Box Office vs Top 10 Indian Openers Of 2025(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Sikandar is only one day away from its theatrical release. Starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, the action thriller is expected to set the box office on fire on its opening day. But where could it possibly stand among the highest day 1 collection of 2025 in Indian cinema? Scroll below for a detailed analysis!

Sikandar Box Office Day 1 Potential

As far as advance booking is concerned, Ar Murugadoss’ directorial is underperforming so far. It has only sold tickets worth 6 crores gross (excluding blocked seats). But the makers are now selling tickets at discounted prices, which is expected to boost the sales.

Sikandar had the potential to cross 50 crores on its opening day and record the biggest Eid release for Salman Khan. Given the current pace, it looks like it will be challenging to cross the 40 crore mark unless there’s...
