April promises to be an interesting month for Bollywood with three big releases fighting for viewers' attention. Salman Khan's Sikandar is a classic Indian action entertainer directed by A.R. Murugadoss.
Although the trailer of the movie has received mixed reactions, the opening day collection is expected to be in the Rs 28-30 crores India net range. While this is short of Salman's last blockbuster, Tiger 3, which started at Rs 42 crores, Sikandar could still manage a good performance during the festive season.

Sunny Deol's Jaat is preparing for an eyeball-to-eyeball competition with Maddock Film's Bhool Chuk Maaf. The recently released trailer for Jaat has increased the buzz for this pan-India action thriller.
With Deol at his best, the movie is likely to collect Rs 10-12 crores in India net on the opening day. With Sunny's huge fan base and high-octane action, the movie might pull a surprise at the box office.

Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2, an emotional courtroom drama based on the backdrop of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, completes April's mass releases. Its teaser has already created a buzz.
However, its opening day collection is expected to be lower at Rs 5-7 crores India net. Still, the movie's emotional depth and historical contexts may propel stronger collections post-release.
