Salman Khan's action-drama film 'Sikander' has crossed the 100 crore mark at the box office on the eighth day of its release.

AR Directed by Murugadas, the film remains in constant discussion, although the film has not been able to get success as expected. Despite this, 'Alexander' has achieved an important position on the second Sunday by earning well.

Light speed in earning on eighth day

The film earned Rs 3.76 crore on Sunday i.e.

eighth day. This figure was slightly lower than Saturday, but still managed to get the film entry in the 100 crore club. With this collection, the total box office collection of the film has been Rs 101.51 crore. In the first week, the film grossed Rs 90.25 crore, which makes it clear that the film is now getting the right speed, but is getting response from the audience.

Weekend gave some relief

While the presence of the audience on the weekend, the film's earnings gained slightly, the success seems incomplete in view of its cost. It is being told that the budget of 'Alexander' is around 200 crores.

In this sense, the film will have to go a long way to recover its cost. The special thing is that despite Salman Khan's stardom and big promotion, the film has not been able to fully meet the expectations of the audience.

Questions raised on starcast and direction

In the film, actors like Rashmika Mandana, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Satyaraj and Anjini Dhawan are seen with Salman Khan. However, despite the star power, there has been a mixed response to the audience and critics about the script and direction of the film. Murugadas, who had earlier given a hit film like 'Ghajini', has failed to repeat his identity this time.

Accounting of day-to-day earnings

The film had earned a great Rs 26 crore on Opening Day, while the figure rose to 29 crores on the second day.

This was followed by a collection of Rs 19.5 crore and Rs 9.75 crore on the third and fourth day. At the same time, earnings from fifth to eighth day declined – 6 crore, 3.5 crore, 4 crore and finally Rs 3.76 crore.

The path ahead is difficult

Although 'Alexander' has made its place in the 100 crore club, the real challenge is now ahead. The film will have to stay firmly in the next weeks to cross its budget. At the same time, the discussion of the film on the mouth-publicity and social media from the audience can play a decisive role in this.
