Shahid Kapoor's film Deva recently premiered on OTT platforms, coinciding with Salman Khan's movie Sikandar facing challenges at the Box Office. While online users have expressed a preference for one film over the other, the pertinent question arises: is the comparison between Deva and Sikandar truly justified?

Here's why we think it might not be as fair as it seems...

Netizens praise Deva while bashing Sikandar

Many users on social media have suggested that Salman Khan should take cues from Shahid Kapoor's Deva, particularly in light of his recent Eid release. Twitter users are urging Salman to consider the script of Deva before making his film choices.

The real question - is Deva's script original?

Despite the calls for Salman Khan to draw inspiration from Shahid Kapoor's Deva, the essential question is whether Deva's script is indeed original. The film is widely regarded as an adaptation of the 2013 movie Mumbai Police, which raises doubts about the validity of comparing Deva to Sikandar, the latter being perceived as a project based on AR Murugadoss' scripts that have been shelved.

Can Sikandar be revived at the Box Office?

Sikandar has been facing persistent difficulties at the Box Office. The film experienced a gradual increase in viewership over its first two days, but it does not represent Salman Khan's finest work. Sikandar missed out on significant earnings on its opening Friday and Saturday due to its Sunday release. Initially projected to reach Rs. 100 crore by the first Friday, current estimates indicate that Sikandar may struggle to surpass Rs. 95 crore, even on its first Friday. Whether Sikandar can rebound and achieve the Rs. 100 crore milestone or reach Rs. 200 crore over the weekend remains uncertain. However, given the current downward trend, such an outcome appears increasingly improbable.
