Salman Khan’s 'Sikandar' Sets Box Office Buzz with Rs 8 Crore in Advance Bookings, Ticket Prices Soar

After a significant break from the big screen, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is back with Sikandar, releasing in cinemas on March 30. The film, directed by AR Murugadoss, is already creating strong box office momentum through early advance bookings.

Strong Booking Numbers and Premium Ticket Prices

Sikandar has already garnered Rs 8 crore through advance bookings across India, with numbers expected to rise significantly over the weekend. Despite a delayed trailer release and minimal initial marketing, the buzz has sharply increased as the film nears release.

Ticket prices have surged, especially in metro cities:

In Mumbai, recliner seats at single-screen Plaza Cinema in Dadar are priced at Rs 700.

Multiplex luxe seats are going for as high as Rs 2200 in select theatres.

In Delhi, luxe show tickets range between Rs 1600 and Rs 1900.

Delite Cinema, a prominent single-screen venue in Delhi, has kept ticket prices between Rs 90 and Rs 200.

Despite the premium pricing, reports indicate Sikandar is already sold out in many Delhi cinemas for its opening day.

Audience Response and Eid Holiday Boost

The film is set to benefit from the extended Eid weekend, with a public holiday on Monday adding to its commercial prospects. As of now, Sikandar has already collected Rs 4.03 crore in India as part of its advance booking push.
