Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 25: Salman Khan Film Struggles To Stay Afloat
New Delhi:
Salman Khan's Sikandar is showing no signs of growth at the box office. On Day 25, the AR Murugadoss directorial collected ₹5 lakh through ticket windows, according to a report by Sacnilk.
With this, the action entertainer has so far earned a total of ₹110.3 crore in the domestic market. The worldwide collection of Sikandar stands at ₹184.82 crore, the report added.
Sikandar marks the first-ever on-screen pairing of Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna. In the film, Salman takes on the role of Sanjay Rajkot, a man who stands tall against corruption and fights for justice. Rashmika plays his wife, Saisri Rajkot.
The age gap between the lead pair - 31 years - sparked some chatter online. Salman addressed the comments head-on at the trailer launch event of Sikandar.
In his usual candid style, the superstar said, " Phir vo bolte hain 31 years ka difference hai heroine aur mujh mein, arre jab heroine ko problem nahi hai, heroine ke papa ko dikkat nahi hai, tumko kyun dikkat hai bhai? Inki shadi hogi, bachchi hongi, toh unke sath bhi kaam karenge. Mummy ki permission toh mil hi jayega. [Then they say there's a 31-year age gap between me and the heroine. But if the heroine has no problem, and even her father has no issue, why do you have a problem, brother?]"
Salman Khan added, "And when she (Rashmika) gets married and has a daughter and then she becomes a big star, then also we will work (together). We will get the mother (Rashmika)'s permission for sure.'
Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi and Prateik Smita Patil are also seen playing important roles in Sikandar. Released on March 30, the movie has been bankrolled by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and Salman Khan Films.

Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 Beats Sky Force at the Box Office
In an interesting box office moment, Akshay Kumar's new film Housefull 5 has beaten another one of his own movies, Sky Force, to become the third highest-earning Hindi film of 2025 so far. Housefull 5, the latest part of the popular comedy series, has earned ₹119.75 crore in just six days since its release. This total has now passed the ₹112.75 crore made by Sky Force, which had finished its full run. Earlier this year, Sky Force, a patriotic action film, had a decent start and stayed in cinemas for about four weeks. In its first week, it earned ₹86.5 crore, but its numbers started dropping after that. By the end of four weeks, it had made ₹112.75 crore in total. In contrast, Housefull 5 opened with great energy. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the film made ₹24 crore on its first day (Friday). Over the weekend, the numbers grew, reaching ₹32.5 crore on Sunday. As expected, collections fell a bit after the weekend. On Monday, it made ₹13 crore, followed by ₹11.25 crore on Tuesday, and around ₹8 crore on Wednesday, based on early estimates from Sacnilk. This brought the total to ₹119.75 crore in six days. With this, Housefull 5 is now only behind two other films this year — Raid 2 starring Ajay Devgn, which has earned ₹171 crore, and Chhaava featuring Vicky Kaushal, which leads the chart with ₹585.7 crore. This achievement is even more special because Akshay Kumar has now delivered three hits in a tough year for Bollywood. While many big films have failed, Akshay has succeeded in both patriotic drama and comedy. Experts say Housefull 5 could still have a strong second weekend. If the current pace continues, the film might cross the ₹150 crore mark. However, catching up to Raid 2 will be difficult. For now, the Housefull 5 team is celebrating, and so is Akshay Kumar — once again proving that when it comes to the box office, his only competition might be himself. The film stars a large cast, including Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek A. Bachchan, Fardeen Khan, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Jacqueline Fernandez, Chunky Pandey, Dino Morea, and Johnny Lever.

He then said, 'Kuch karna warna he life mein (Have you thought of anything with your life)?' I said, 'Yes sir I want to be an actor, sir.' I was 17-18. He said that before you become an actor you need to learn what happens behind the camera. He is such a cool guy. I said okay, because you know as an actor one can take things for granted very easily," recalled Palak. Palak had worked as an Assistant Director on Salman's Antim: The Final Truth. Salman Khan and Ayush Sharma headlined the film. Palak also said that she gets starstruck whenever she meets Salman Khan. "I've done a whole film with him, whenever I meet him till date, or even if I get a message from him, I get star-struck. I usually don't get star-struck, you can make anyone sit in front of me. But when he's in front of me, I stop speaking and start stuttering. He just changed my entire personality. Then he said, 'Aaram se bolo (speak without hesitation)," said Palak. Palak Tiwari's Career Palak Tiwari grabbed eyeballs much before her acting debut. She is a regular on Instagram. Palak Tiwari got noticed first with her stunning performance in the music video Bijlee Bijlee alongside Harrdy Sandhu (also sung by him).
