Trivia: 80s Female South Actress Was Forced Into Marriage, Charged More Salary Than Rekha But Tragically Died At 35 ( Photo Credit – Wikimedia; Facebook )

Indian cinema was blessed with some talented actresses in the 80s, including Rekha, Sridevi, Jaya Prada, and Amrita Singh, among others. But there was one shining star from the South, at the peak of her career, who tragically died at the age of 80. She was a sensation, and every director/ producer wanted to work with her. Scroll below to know who!

She earned more than Rekha!

At that time, Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Sathyaraj were among the highest-earning Indian actors. But our female leads weren’t any less! Vijayshanthi and Bhanupriya were also taking home huge paychecks.

Meanwhile, this South actress in question was also rising high in success. She was charging a remuneration of 1 lakh back in the 1990s while Rekha was getting paid 75,000.

Anushka Shetty To Join Kaithi 2 (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Kaithi 2 is on its way, and the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial is already generating buzz, thanks to a rumour about the addition of a new cast member, Anushka Shetty. According to CineJosh, she is expected to play the role of a lady don. Meanwhile, Gulte speculates that since the story will explore the past of Karthi’s character, she might portray his wife. However, there is no official statement from the makers, and these remain unconfirmed reports for now.

In the 2019 action thriller, there was no female lead. The story revolved around Dilli (played by Karthi), a father’s fight to rescue his daughter. However, in the second installment, reports are rife that there will be an actress playing a prominent role. For the sequel, there’s buzz about actress Anushka Shetty possibly joining the cast playing a don or Karthi’s wife.

Sikandar Ott Verdict (Week 2)(Photo Credit – Instagram)

Salman Khan’s action-packed movie Sikandar had an underwhelming run at the box office but has finally arrived on Netflix. It has been in Netflix’s global top 10 list for two consecutive weeks but dropped to the bottom in week 2. Keep scrolling for more.

The movie was directed by Ar Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. Salman and Sajid have collaborated for over a decade since 2014’s Kick. The film’s cast comprised Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Sathyaraj, Jatin Sarna, Sanjay Kapoor, Prateik Babbar, and Kishore.

Sikandar Ott Verdict Week 2

Sikandar registered the third-best debut of the year on the streaming platform Netflix, behind Jewel Thief and Pushpa 2. Salman Khan’s film generated 5.1 million views in its debut week, securing the #3 spot. However, it fell flat in week 2 in Netflix‘s weekly global top 10 chart. For the week of June 2-...

Madras Matinee Box Office Collection Day 1 (Photo Credit – YouTube)

The Kaali Venkat starrer Tamil family drama film, Madras Matinee was released into the theatres on June 6, 2025. Despite decent reviews, the film has opened to a dismal first-day collection. Here is taking a look at the box office performance of the film on its first day.

Madras Matinee Box Office Collection Day 1

The Kaali Venkat starrer opened to a poor first-day collection. It only opened to a mere 12 lakhs which is indeed a dismal opening. The film desperately needs to witness a growth on its second day.

However, it is highly unlikely that it will take a drastic jump of above 1 crore when it comes to the day-wise collection. It is expected to stay at the lower levels. But a decent jump is necessary to at least score a good number in its first week. The movie meanwhile, might face a...

Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 22 ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Salman Khan’s arrival on Eid 2025 was expected to be one of the biggest box office affairs in Bollywood. Unfortunately, our hopes came crashing down as Sikandar remained underwhelming from the word go. It is still adding footfalls on the lower end. But there’s good news, as it has surpassed the lifetime of Stree. Scroll below for day 22 collections!

Minimal growth in the third weekend

There isn’t much hope left for Ar Murugadoss‘ directorial at the box office. In fact, whatever minimum is being added is only a bonus. On day 22, Sikandar showed growth due to the weekend boost. It added 13 lakhs to the kitty, witnessing a jump of 44% compared to 9 lakhs earned on the previous day.

It earned an estimated total of 28 lakhs on the third weekend, which is simply disappointing for a Salman Khan film. However, the overall box office collections,...

Box Office: John Abraham’s The Diplomat Scores Higher Than Salman Khan’s Sikandar On Good Friday (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Yesterday, on the occasion of Good Friday, only one noteworthy film from Bollywood was released in theatres. Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday’s Kesari Chapter 2 arrived in theatres. Sunny Deol’s Jaat entered its second week, and there are some leftovers in the form of Salman Khan’s Sikandar and John Abraham’s The Diplomat. Let’s find out how the latter two fared at the Indian box office on Good Friday holiday!

Good Friday has never been a big occasion for Bollywood, but since it’s a holiday, strong footfall was expected in theatres. Unfortunately, none of the Bollywood releases that are running in theatres made full use of this auspicious occasion. Among the leftovers, there was minimal movement at ticket windows, but an interesting thing happened.

Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 19 (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Salman Khan starrer Sikandar is undergoing a disastrous run at the box office. Not only the cash registers, but the film has vastly disappointed the critics and the masses, too. Here is taking a look at the box office collection of the film on its 19th day.

Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 19

On its 19th day, the Salman Khan starrer earned 129.41 crores at the Indian box office. The movie has turned out to be a colossal disaster as it is most likely to wrap up without recovering its budget. For the unversed, the film is mounted at a mammoth budget of 200 crores.

However, with its current India net collection of 129.41 crores, Sikandar has managed to cover 64% of its budget. Apart from this, the day-wise collections have also fallen below 20 lakhs. There is little or no hope left for the movie now.

From the ‘80s all the way to the early 2010s, Nicolas Cage was one of the most popular actors in all of Hollywood. I became a fan of his after watching Con Air and Face/Off on a loop because they were on TV all the time. But while most of his films were released on the big screen first until 2013, he turned a page in 2014 and didn’t stop starring in direct-to-video movies until 2017. Many were perplexed as to why Cage was tarnishing his image like that, but I think he didn’t shy away from admitting that he was doing it to pay the bills—bills with a lot of zeros in them. It seemed like he was en route to starting a new era by featuring in projects like Mandy, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Pig. And he kind of did. Nowadays, while he does show up in...

Adding fuel to the fire is the latest buzz surrounding the Telugu theatrical rights of Rajinikanth’s Coolie. According to the latest reports from 123telugu, the makers are demanding a massive ₹40 crore for the Telugu distribution rights, isn’t that crazy?

While Rajini’s box office power is undisputed, especially after the success of Jailer, trade experts are now wondering if the film can justify such a high price in the Telugu market. However, it is essential to note that the deal is yet to be locked. The buzz is real, but the stakes are equally high, particularly with another giant gearing up for the same release date.

Salman Khan starrer Sikandar may have opened to mixed reviews, but the star power is showing its magic. It has entered the 100 crore club in both the domestic and international regions. Just not that, Bhaijaan will soon surpass the lifetime collections of his last Eid release, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Scroll below for the worldwide update on day 5.

Hits a century in India

The Eid holidays are over, and the box office collections are gradually dipping. But Sikandar has managed to enter the 100 crore club in 5 days of its domestic run. It stands at 105.20 crores net, which is around 124.13 crores in gross earnings.

Sikandar, starring Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, and Sathyaraj in key roles, has come out of the Eid benefit, and today, it was a true litmus test. As expected, the film has witnessed a massive drop today, creating an alarming situation. Amid this, the magnum opus has entered the 100 crore club at the Indian box office, thus crossing the least-expected milestone on day 5. Keep reading to know what early trends suggest!

On Thursday, the Bollywood action drama started with a dismal occupancy of 5% in morning shows. In the afternoon, there wasn’t much of a growth as the occupancy stayed at 8%. In the evening shows, there was minimal growth, with just 9% occupancy. While reports of night shows are yet to come, it is learned that there isn’t any significant improvement.

The average occupancy throughout the nation was not at all good...

Salman Khan’s new film, Sikandar, has been in the spotlight for its box office results. After a solid opening weekend, the movie experienced a notable decline on its fourth day.

Reports indicate that Sikandar has earned Rs 138 crore globally in its first four days. It kicked off with a strong Rs 49 crore on its opening day, followed by Rs 43 crore on Day 2 and Rs 32 crore on Day 3.

However, the film took a significant hit on Day 4, bringing in just Rs 14 crore. This brings the total worldwide gross for Sikandar to Rs 138 crore, with Rs 96 crore from domestic markets and Rs 42 crore from international audiences.

Directed by Ar Murugadoss, Sikandar features a cast that includes Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Prateik Babbar, and Sharman Joshi. While the film is on track to reach the Rs 150 crore milestone soon, it remains uncertain whether it will hit the Rs 200 crore mark globally.

Sikandar, starring Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, and others, has undoubtedly underperformed a big time in India and overseas. Still, it has amassed a decent total at the worldwide box office by crossing the 150 crore mark in just 4 days. Now, it is just inches away from beating Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force and becoming the second highest-grossing Bollywood film in 2025. Keep reading for a detailed global collection report!

Sikandar pulls off a decent total!

Before the release, expectations were sky-high, but when actuals came in, everyone was shocked. On the opening day, the Bollywood magnum opus earned 54.72 crore gross globally. Since reviews and word-of-mouth were not in favor, the film was expected to crash badly, but that didn’t happen.

Due to the Eid holiday, Sikandar earned 51.17 crore gross on the second day. On Tuesday,...

Salman Khan’s new film, Sikandar, has made over Rs 40 crore in international markets within its opening three days. Directed by Ar Murugadoss, this action drama has had a solid start at the box office.

Reports indicate that Sikandar debuted with Rs 20 crore (Usd 2.35 million) on its first day, including preview screenings. It then earned Rs 11.50 crore (Usd 1.35 million) on Day 2 and Rs 6.35 crore (Usd 0.75 million) on Day 3, bringing its three-day total to Rs 37.80 crore (Usd 4.45 million).

The film is on track to reach the Usd 5 million milestone by the end of its opening week. However, given the lukewarm response, it seems likely that Sikandar will finish its international run below Rs 60 crore (Usd 7 million), which would be disappointing for a Salman Khan film.

In total, the movie has grossed around Rs 124 crore globally in just three days, with Rs 86.50 crore coming from domestic markets alone. It is expected to...

The post-pandemic phase has been tough for all Salmaniacs to deal with, and the reason is known to everyone.

Sikandar

Starring Salman Khan

Directed by Ar Murugadoss

Salman Khan’s new release, Sikandar, is a travesty of all good taste and a mockery of all rational justification for a film to exist. It also shamelessly mocks Salman’s superstardom by giving him a screenplay, probably written as a joke by someone who has a grudge against him, which treats his royal character like some kind of a super-hero who was lobotomized by marauders when the haveli’s doors were open.

Salman’s Raja Saab, aka Sikandar and Sanjay(his parents were fans of Indian history and Sunil Dutt-Nargis, we are told) wears a single expression throughout. Even when he is in acute pain (we know that feeling), he seems to be stress-free..Sab theek ho jayega, just chill.

Director: A. R. Murugadoss

Sikandar Movie Review(Photo Credit –Facebook)

What’s Good: Background score, the core message of the film, some of the action sequences.

What’s Bad: The film falls flat enormously in the second half owing to loopholes in the plot and a shoddy screenplay, Salman Khan’s screen presence is fiery but his performance appears to be monotone, performances of the supporting star cast are not strong, and illogical sub-plots, the final showdown is not engaging enough.

Loo Break: Can opt for one in the songs or in the second half, it might not result in a great loss.

Watch or Not?: Salman Khan fans can give this one a try but it might be a missed opportunity even for them.

We are done with the first half of the Salman Khan starrer Sikandar and the first half is an emotionally high octane ride. The entertainment quotient remains high with a fine balance of romance, action and emotions. Salman manages to shine especially in the emotional scenes showcasing a more vulnerable side to his performance.

The plot revolves around Sanjay Rajkot aka Sikandar (Salman Khan), the king of the Rajkot dynasty who is happily married to Saisri Rajkot (Rashmika Mandanna). However, despite their happy marriage, Sanjay is often unable to give her time due to his other commitments. On the other hand, he earns the ire of a politician Pradhan (Sathyaraj) after beating up his son Arjun (Prateik Babbar) inside a plane.

Besides being a man bent on righting wrongs, Sikandar is also at its core a love story. Talking about the essence of Salman and Rashmika’s prem kahaani in Sikandar, the director said, “Here, there’s an element of love that will move the audience. Sikandar has that surprise element—an intense, husband-wife story at its heart.”

Adding, “It explores how families function today, how couples treat each other, and what we might be missing in our relationships. That will be the highlight of the film. Though it is a commercial film, it has a beautiful message.”

The official trailer was unveiled on Sunday and garnered massive praise. But eagle-eyed fans have shared theories on Reddit that could leave you mind-boggled. Scroll below for all the details!

Sikandar trailer was power-packed, ticking all the boxes, including emotions, entertainment, thrill and action. We witnessed Salman Khan’s sweet chemistry with his leading lady, Rashmika Mandanna. But Ar Murugadoss also gave glimpses of the supporting cast, including Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, Kajal Aggarwal, and Anjini Dhawan.

A section of Reddit users were disappointed that the Sikandar trailer was as lengthy as 3 minutes and 37 seconds. They felt it gave more hints than just teasing fans.

Salman Khan’s Sikandar is set to release on March 28th. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Ar Murugadoss, the film also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Suniel Shetty, Sathyaraj and Prateik Babbar.

Subhash K Jha gives his thoughts on the trailer that was just released today.

The trailer of S S Murugadoss is exactly what we expect it to be. Noisy and pointless. But why is Rashmika Mandanna not speaking in her voice? Could it be on account of her Southern twang not being appreciated in Chhaava?

In all fairness, I hope some of her blockbuster status rubs off on Sikandar. It is evident from the trailer that it needs all the luck in the world. There is nothing here that we haven’t seen before….or would like to see in our movie entertainment. Salman Khan wants to cleanse our society of corruption. This time,...

As per the ongoing trends, Sikandar could become the biggest Eid opener for Salman Khan by surpassing Bharat’s 42.30 crores. If the pre-release buzz is high, it could very well hit the double century and go beyond that!

Sikandar Box Office: Salman Khan Has A Strong Chance Of Comeback!(Photo Credit – YouTube)

In 2023, Salman Khan had a chance to smash records with his highly-anticipated Tiger 3. Unfortunately, due to underwhelming content, it failed to live up to the mammoth expectations. With less than four weeks remaining for a grand release, eyes are set on how Sikandar performs at the Indian box office. While, ultimately, the content will decide the film’s fate, things are looking in favor as of now.

Poor run in the post-covid era

As a main lead, Salman has been a part of only two theatrical releases so far in the post-covid era. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was released in 2023, followed by Tiger 3 in the same year during Diwali. Both films failed to generate massive numbers. Talking about Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, it was a troll material from the start.

We’re about three weeks away from Salman Khan’s Sikandar. The release date has not been confirmed yet, but as per rumors, the action thriller is arriving in theatres on March 30, 2025. We hear the film has minted massive moolah via pre-release business and recovered a chunk of its budget. Scroll below for the latest box office update!

What is Sikandar’s budget?

As per multiple online reports, Sikandar is mounted on an estimated budget of 200 crores. This is a good move, considering that Salman Khan movies have not been up to the mark and have suffered losses due to their high budget in recent years. Even his last release, Tiger 3, was a losing affair despite earning 286 crores due to its staggering investment of 300 crores.

Sikandar recovers over 75% of budget?

Ar Murugadoss’s directorial has reportedly earned 165 crores from its pre-release business alone.

Bollywood icon Salman Khan’s recent film, Sikander, has garnered significant attention in the media. The release of the film’s teaser sparked a flurry of activity on social platforms, where users began to mock the lead actors. In a recent development, the Sikandar team unveiled the first song from the film, titled ‘Zohra Jabeen’, which once again became a target for online criticism.

The song has faced backlash for its perceived outdated musical style, lackluster lyrics, and excessive visual effects aimed at enhancing Salman Khan’s appearance. Critics have also pointed out the lack of chemistry between the lead pair, describing their on-screen relationship as unconvincing. Observers have noted that the pairing of Rashmika and Salman appears forced, with many urging Salman Khan to reconsider casting significantly younger actresses alongside him.
