Sikandar inches towards Rs 200 CR Club: 5 'mid' films of Salman Khan that filled producers' pockets

Salman Khan’s Sikandar is inching towards the Rs 200 crore mark globally. The movie was panned even by his most loyal fans. From killing off Rashmika Mandanna’s character early on to the bland dialogue delivery, people found faults in the AR Murugadoss film. In fact, some said that Salman Khan looked extremely disinterested in the movie, which is one of the saddest things one can say as an audience. However, his insane star power made sure that producers recovered as much as they could. Here is a look at other extremely average Salman Khan movies that were only saved his insane persona.

Race 3

The Race franchise is known for its thrills, suspense and music. When Salman Khan was brought on board for Race 3 many fans did not like it. The whole ensemble cast put together for the movie was also panned. They felt Salman Khan just handed over a big film to his friends. Race 3 directed by Remo D’Souza was trolled for its bad story, dialogues and average performances. Still, it made close to Rs 170 crores at the box office.

Tubelight

After the stupendous success of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, expectations were sky high from Tubelight. Kabir Khan and Salman Khan were reuniting once again for a human drama. However, the character failed to click with the audience. With poor critical response and theatrical footfalls, it made Rs 120 crores! Other actors can only dream of this with a bad film.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is also one of those films that made Salman Khan fans throw their hands up in the air. The multi-starrer was adapted from Veeram, a Thala Ajith movie. Fans trolled Farhad-Samji for grossly misusing Salman Khan’s star power for a bad movie.

Dabangg 3

The Dabangg movies are also a huge fan favourite. Prabhudheva stepped in as the director for Dabangg 3 and fans were not happy with the ultimate result. However, it made a healthy Rs 150 CR at the box office.
