Released on March 30, 2025, Sikandar is being considered one of the weakest movies of Salman Khan in recent times. It failed to meet the high expectations of the masses, including fans, due to several factors. Let’s go through five reasons why Sikandar couldn’t woo the audience.
Outdated concept with subpar execution
Sikandar doesn’t offer much to the audience due to its outdated concept. With its weak script and subpar execution, the mass action drama couldn’t woo them despite Salman Khan’s screen presence. Many cinegoers felt that the superstar looked tired throughout the movie and was quite stiff in action scenes.
2. Poor dialogue delivery
Not just the concept, Sikandar also couldn’t impress the cinegoers with its dialogues. Salman Khan failed to spread his charm with bland dialogue delivery. Not just him; the dialogue delivery of the entire star cast, including Rashmika Mandanna, felt poor. It seemed like the whole team didn’t put much effort into the dialogue writing and execution.
3. Songs failed to create hype
Sikandar featured decent songs like Sikandar Naache, Zohra Jabeen, and Hum Aapke Bina, which could have otherwise saved the film from being a debacle. With forgettable lyrics and underwhelming music, the soundtrack album missed the banger vibes of Salman Khan’s old chartbusters and failed to create much-needed hype.
Several reports claimed last week that many theatres in Mumbai and nearby removed shows of Sikandar as not enough tickets were sold. Even as Sacnilk reported that the film had 8-10% occupancy in the region, the reports continued. Gujarati film The Best Pandya had replaced Sikandar in theatres in Vashi. An exhibitor said, “There were reports of one of our theatres pulling down Sikandar shows and screening some Gujarati films. There is no truth to it. Sikandar still has the maximum shows in the theatres of the region. Who would remove a film that is earning ₹4-5 crore a day for one that wouldn’t even get ₹30-40 lakh? It doesn’t make sense.”
