Sikandar collected 27 crore nett on its second day which was a holiday for Eid but the film saw drops in collections in many places but because of the Eid crowd the film managed to show growth in its overall collections. This is mainly because of UP as the state showed huge improvement from the previous day and if we take the collections from the state only then it would be double the previous day.

There is a drop in business in the national chains of around 10% while circuits like Gujarat and East Punjab are down around 25%. Delhi / UP jumped around 40-50% thanks to UP but there was a drop in the NCR belt. The South also made gains as both Nizam / Andhra and Mysore showed improvement from the first day.

The issue for the film is places like Rajasthan and CI which are pretty much flat with limited growth and these circuits should be going up by a margin on Eid day. The trend in these circuits means there is little hope in the long run. The Eid crowd will dwindle every day and the peak for this was Monday. 

The film has put up a 52 crore nett in two days which is an average collection but these average numbers have come on Sunday and a national holiday and if it were normal days the collections would have been poor and eventually the normal days will come and collections will come down heavily.

Its another big film going down on a big holiday release and its not the first time post the pandemic. Sikandar needs a miracle to even hit the average mark as collections on Tuesday need to be similar to the first two days which will not happen. Basically you cant afford to have middling collections on holidays with good numbers being the minimum requirement for a big film. Sikandar needed 100 crore nett in 3 days as a minimum with solid growth on Eid but its going to fall well short of that. The collections of Sikandar till date are as follows. 

Sunday - 25,00,00,000

Monday - 27,00,00,000

TOTAL - 52,00,00,000
