Sikandar on Top: Akshay Rules, WAR 2 Close Second

Mirchi 9 1 year ago

Is Sikandar indeed the most awaited film of 2025? According to BookMyShow (BMS) numbers, Salman Khan's Eid release is way ahead.

Just three weeks to go and the hype is at an all time high courtesy Zohra Jabeen.But is this dominance real or just a pre-release hype? Meanwhile War 2 and Akshay Kumar's films are putting up a good fight.

Sikandar is No.1 with 140.1K interests on BMS-153% more than War 2 (55.2K) which has still 5 months to release.

Akshay Kumar has two films in top 5-Welcome To The Jungle (39.2K) and Housefull 5 (28.9K).

500-Cr Entry: HR & NTR Sure Shot, Salman Doubtful?

Other notable films are The Diplomat (22.8K), Raid 2 (20.1K) and Dhadak 2 (11K). But should we trust these numbers?

The timing is key. Sikandar is just weeks away, while War 2 is far away, so 55.2K for War 2 is impressive.

Akshay's comedies are still pulling in audiences, even Welcome To The Jungle is facing delays. Zohra Jabeen song has kept Sikandar in the news but will the buzz last till release?

BMS numbers don't guarantee box office success. Many producers artificially boost them remember Tiger 3?

It had huge pre-release hype but failed to deliver. Plus big films like Jolly LLB 3, Kesari - Chapter 2 and Thama aren't listed yet. Once they are, the rankings may change big time.

Sikandar is leading now but War 2 has time to catch up and Akshay Kumar is still a major player.

While these numbers are fun to track, they don't predict box office fate. The real test begins when the films hit the screen!

The Sikandar vs War 2 battle is heating up, and it will be interesting to see if Salman Khan's film maintains its lead as the release date approaches.

The hype is undeniable, but early interest doesn't always translate into box office gold.

Meanwhile, War 2 has the advantage of time. As more promotional content drops, the numbers for War 2 could surge, bringing the Sikandar vs War 2 race closer than expected.

With Akshay Kumar consistently securing spots in the most-awaited films list, it's clear that his audience remains loyal. Whether Sikandar, War 2, or Akshay's films emerge as the ultimate winner, Bollywood is in for an exciting 2025!
