Salman Khan‘s highly anticipated film, Sikandar, is approaching its release on Eid, yet its advance ticket sales on BMS are showing disappointing signs. With only 1.1 lakh tickets sold ahead of its March 30 premiere, there’s a pressing need for strategies to enhance sales. Comparatively, Sikandar’s pre-sales stand at just 33% of Hrithik Roshan‘s Fighter pre-sales, which holds the tenth-highest record for Bollywood films in the last three years on the platform.
As the countdown to the premiere dwindles to less than 48 hours, Sikandar faces an uphill battle to boost its ticket sales figures. Potential strategies could include promotional offers like buy-one-get-one-free or reducing ticket prices. The current sales pace suggests that Salman Khan may struggle to break into even the top 25 list of ticket pre-sales on BMS, where Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life sits with 3.09 lakh tickets.
Between 8 AM and 2 PM on March 28, Salman Khan managed to secure a mere 10K additional ticket sales. Over the past three days, Sikandar has averaged just 34K ticket sales daily, a figure that underscores a bleak forecast for the film’s opening performance.
The stark comparison to Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter, with a tally of 3.07 lakh pre-sales tickets, serves as a reminder of the competitive nature of the Indian film market. Sikandar is set to debut amidst high expectations and a sea of obstacles, further accentuating the urgency for increased ticket sales to match fans’ enthusiasm with tangible results.
The current total of 110.17K ticket pre-sales illustrates the challenge Sikandar faces, highlighting the necessity of stimulating interest and engaging audiences more effectively. Salman Khan’s track record of box office successes faces a test, and industry watchers are keenly observing if the star can devise an emergency plan to boost numbers.
While these box office figures are estimates from various sources and await independent verification, they paint a picture of the task ahead for Salman Khan and his team. With the Eid release looming, the next few days will be critical in determining whether Sikandar can turn its fortunes around.
