Sikandar Opens To An  Underwhelming Response

Salman Khan’s Eid release  is not  a complete loser like  2024’s Kissi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. But Sikandar  is way beyond expectation with audiences expressing disappointment at the  run-of-the-mill ghisa-pita content, and  worse, Salman’s  immobile  performance.

“He seems  to be performing from a distance. There seems to be a complete disconnect  between him and the camera. Also his bodily movements are sluggish. Audiences are not happy with their Bhai this Eid,” Kumar Abhishek, manager Connplex Patna expresses. “Shockingly we are  not getting housefull shows on the first day. Maybe the sales will improve on the Monday that is Eid. But it looks  like even  Bhai’s fans  are not coming.”

While speaking on the  fatalities that Salman starrers  have suffered  at the  boxoffice, a filmmaker who  has worked  more than once with the star comments, “His coterie of chamchas  and hangers-on won’t allow him to  grow. In his  mind he is invincible. Nothing  he  does  can go wrong in his head.  He isn’t working with  filmmakers who  can bring out something new. His work reflects the mediocrity around him.”

Trade expert Amod Mehra adds, “It is extremely rare for a film to release on a Sunday and then on the very next day it’s a public holiday ,that too Eid.Despite this Sikandar’s opening is shockingly far below expectations.”
