Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s latest release, ‘Sikandar’, continues its moderate box office run amid Eidul Fitr holidays.

The film was released in theatres on March 30, and started with a decent start with collections of INR26 crore, according to Indian media outlets.

On the second day, the first day of Eidul Fitr, ‘Sikandar’ box office collections saw a hike as the film’s earnings touched INR29 crore.

However, the Bollywood actioner saw a massive decline on Tuesday, around 32 per cent, to settle at INR19.5 crore.

Amid dismal performance at the box office, ‘Sikandar’ lags behind Salman Khan’s past Eidul Fitr releases such as ‘Tiger 3’ and ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan.’
