Sikandar on Eid – Salman’s Eid factor could not do amazing, ‘Sikander’ will be able to do the blast? – Sikandar releasing on eid has tough road ahead as Salman khan charm on this festival is fading away ntcpsm

There have been some untold cultural connections with the general public of Bollywood … such as ‘Baghban’ song ‘Holi Khele Raghubira’ is considered incomplete without Holi Khele Raghubira. Diwali is considered incomplete in theaters without Ajay Devgan’s film. And for Eid, the appearance of the moon in the sky is as important, it is equally important to have Salman on the big screen for Eid celebrations.

Eid is going to come again in about 10 days and once again Salman Khan’s film is going to be in theaters. This time it is the turn of ‘Alexander’, which has high expectations of Salman and his fans. There are many important reasons for the level of these expectations to be very high, but Salman’s Eid record has been on the top of them since the lockdown. Salman and Eid are very old and this festival has given them many big hits. But since the lockdown, the magic of Salman’s Eid factor is getting a bit faded. Let’s tell how …

Salman’s Eid connection was 15 years
The start of 2000s was also good for Salman, who became the top star of Bollywood in 90s. In the first 5 years of the new century, he gave hits like ‘Tere Naam’, ‘Mujhe Shaadi Karogi’ and ‘Garh’ and ‘No Entry’. But after 2005, he got big flop films one after another from the line. These included films like ‘Jaan-e-Man’, ‘Babul’ ‘Salaam-e-Ishq’. In the middle, ‘Partner’ (2007) was a hit, but after this Salman’s’ God Tussi Great Ho flopped from the ‘Heroes’ and’ Yuvraj ‘line. Questions started to arise on Salman’s stardom and the enthusiasm of his fans started getting slightly lighter.

‘Wanted’ put a curb on Salman. On September 18 in 2009, Salman came as Radhe Bhai in ‘Wanted’. Salman appeared in films of family-drama and comedy type for the last nearly 5 years, when the sabotage came on screen in action avatar, the atmosphere of theaters changed. The ‘Wanted’ released on Friday, got the support of Eid on 21st. On Friday, the film, which was opening with Rs 5.15 crore, kept a grip on Monday and earned Rs 4.80 crore without much fall. This film became Salman’s biggest blockbuster at that time.

Eid proved lucky for Salman and from here he confirmed the release of Eid for his upcoming films. From 2009 to 2019, Salman’s film has reached the theaters on every Eid, except 2013. That year Salman did not do any film.

Salman is a hit on Eid
In Salman’s Eid films, films like ‘Bharat’, ‘Sultan’ and ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ got a strong start. The opening collection of these three films has been from 33 crores to 43 crores. Apart from this, while Salman’s ‘Kick’ also got the benefit of Eid, Eid was amazing, which did not flop like ‘Tubelight’ and ‘Race 3’. While the public did not like these two films.

Salman’s Eid factor fades after lockdown
Salman played the character of the wanted avatar in the film ‘Radhe’ (2021). This film was released on OTT in the midst of lockdown but people did not like it at all. Salman, released 4 years ago, does not even like to take the name of this film of his fans.

After the lockdown, Salman’s theater returns came from the film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Kisi’. Salman’s film, which came on Eid in 2023, earned less than his flop film ‘Jai Ho’, but it did not tag the at least flop. However, it definitely caused a loss to its Eid record of Salman.

From 2009 to 2019, 10 films of Salman have been released on Eid. Where most of these films are counted among Salman’s biggest hits. Salman’s Eid release has got an opening of at least 21 crores at the box office. Whereas ‘India’ earned Rs 42.30 crore on the first day, which was Salman’s biggest opening collection till ‘Tiger 3’. But ‘Koi’s brother Koi Jeevan’ was Salman’s first Eid release, whose opening collection was below 20 crores. This film earned only about 16 crore rupees on the first day.

Now the record of Salman’s top opening collection is in the name of ‘Tiger 3’. The film, which came on Diwali, collected 44.50 crores on the first day. That is, the top records of his Eid films in Salman’s account are now being left behind. In the last 5 years, Salman’s presence in theaters on Eid is decreasing. In such a situation, he would like to raise the flag of his box office dominance on Eid once again with ‘Alexander’.

However, till now the atmosphere of ‘Alexander’ is being created, the chance of a very banging opening is less than that. But the trailer of the film has not been released yet and the makers have saved it for the last major explosion of promotion. Now it will be interesting to see what atmosphere is created for ‘Alexander’ after the trailer and what this film is being released on Eid in theaters.
