Salman Khan’s much-anticipated film ‘Sikandar’ finds itself in the spotlight as it navigates a challenging ticket pre-sales landscape on BMS. Despite sluggish sales, the film astoundingly managed to secure 250,000 tickets ahead of its March 30 theatrical debut. In an unexpected surge, sales peaked between 10 and 11 PM on March 29, reaching an impressive 10,000 tickets per hour for the first time.
These figures, though remarkable, expose challenges in reaching the top ticket pre-sales of 2024-25 on BMS. With a significant lead held by ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’s’ 568,300 tickets, ‘Sikandar’ struggles to climb this hierarchy. On March 29, ‘Sikandar’ recorded a commendable performance with 71,100 tickets sold from 8 AM to 10 PM, equating to 5,081 tickets per hour, 84 tickets per minute, and 1.4 tickets per second, but only achieved 9,900 sales during the 9 to 10 PM window.
This pre-sale tally positions ‘Sikandar’ at only 32% of Vicky Kaushal‘s ‘Chhaava’, which dominates 2025’s pre-sale landscape with 777,000 tickets. Though pre-sales offer a glimpse of interest, ‘Sikandar’ faces a critical period with limited time left to boost bookings on BMS before its official release.
The top ten ticket pre-sales for Hindi films this period remain fiercely competitive. However, ‘Sikandar’s’ narrative is noteworthy as it symbolizes both ambition and the unpredictable nature of film success. Observers are keenly watching for any last-minute surges in ticket sales, portraying a mix of tension and anticipation surrounding Salman Khan’s latest venture.
This dynamic underscores the reality of box office performances, where preconceived outcomes and real-time enthusiasm meet. While the ultimate impact of ‘Sikandar’s’ reception remains unfolding, its journey reflects the complexities and exhilarations of the entertainment world. More details and box office predictions are evolving, keeping Salman Khan enthusiasts and industry analysts on edge as release day approaches.
