Salman Khan’s ‘Sikander’ did not create a blast on the opening day, which was expected. Although the film was released in theaters on Sunday on 30 March, but became entangled in Pre-Eid. Due to Ramadan, a large section of Salman’s fans did not reach the theater. While the film did not get very good reviews from the audience and especially critics. Moreover, the film was leaked online before its release. It also affected the earnings. However, despite all these complications, it has done a net collection of Rs 26 crore in the country and has collected the gross collection of more than Rs 41 crore.
AR Murugados is an action drama made in direction of AR Murugados. The film’s plot is good. But Murugados Gaycha has eaten in the screenplay. It would not be right to dismiss ‘Alexander’ outright. This is because Murugados and Salman have done an honest trial. The action and emotion are woven together. However, it has a lot of wealth. But it is also true that the race in which the bloodshed is being made, which cannot be seen sitting with the family, ‘Alexander’ takes care of the full family audience like Salman’s previous films.
‘Alexander’ Worldwide Collection
According to Sacnilk, ‘Alexander’ has done a gross collection of Rs 31.25 crore in the country on the first day. While a gross of Rs 10 crore has been earned abroad. In this way, ‘Alexander’ has collected a gross collection of Rs 41.25 crore on Opening Day.
Komal Nahata said- LEAK has harmed until he handled
Trade analysts also consider piracy as a reason behind the arrival of less spectators in Komal Nahata theaters. It was leaked online in HD a few hours before ‘Sikander’ was released in theaters. Komal Nahata said, ‘I came to know late last night that it was leaked. This morning I spoke to seven-eight people associated with trade. He said that yes, it happened. And then I also came to know that Sajid Nadiadwala and officials have removed the film from such sites from 600. But by then the damage was done.
Loss of 30 to 40 percent in ‘Alexander’ earned!
Komal Nahata further says, ‘By the time it was removed from piracy websites, people had downloaded’ Alexander ‘on their mobiles. Therefore it is very sad. This will greatly affect the collection. This is a big film. It is not extraordinary and if people have a film on phone, then why will they go to the cinema? Due to this, at least 30 to 40 percent of the business has been lost.
