Sikandar

Sikandar Movie Review - A Complete Letdown

Just watched Sikandar, and it was a huge disappointment. The film was marketed as an action-packed mass entertainer, but what we actually got was a boring, outdated emotional drama with logicless fights and a weak storyline.

Story: The ruler of Rajkot finds himself in conflict with a powerful minister as he sets out on a mission to protect those who have received his late wife's organ donations-determined to keep her legacy alive at any cost. Despite its emotional premise, the execution feels bland and fails to create a meaningful impact.

What went wrong?

❌ Logicless action scenes - Fights are completely unrealistic, with Salman defeating enemies in the most ridiculous ways. Even for a mass film, it goes overboard.

Slow and outdated screenplay - The emotional drama is forced, and the storytelling feels like something from the early 2000s.

Misleading marketing - The trailer promised an action-packed entertainer, but the movie is just a stretched-out emotional mess.

Zero freshness - The same old formula with nothing new to offer.

The only decent part is the music (Zohra Jabeen, Bam Bam Bhole), but even that isn't enough to save the film.

Final Verdict: Sikandar is one of Salman Khan's weakest films in recent years. Even hardcore fans might struggle to sit through it. If you expect good action and a strong story, stay away.

I suggest you not to waste your time on this movie. Instead rewatch bhajrangi bhaijaan it's 100 times better than sikandar

Rating: 2/5.

Let me start this review by saying that I didn't have high hopes for this movie but i was hoping to have a good time. I was expecting a fun masala movie which was enjoyable from start to finish. But the movie makers had another plan. It was a huge letdown and disappointed a lot of people in the cinema hall who had the same expectation of this movie. The story doesnt make any sense and a lot of the movie seems forced and void of any logic.

The movie seems unnecessarily preachy and the dialogues seem monotonous and they dont have the impact or the intended energy required in big movies. Rashmika and Kajal try hard to save this disaster but their efforts go in vain due to sloppy story telling. The music is another factor in bringing down the movie. Overall, it reminds you of a phrase - blink and a miss.

Disappointed. Salman is taking his fans for a ride. Nothing new same old story. Director is good but in trying to make film keeping Salman in mind he falters. Bad screen play. Salman can't act, can't dance he's seen with same old dance moves and has the same expression in the emotional scenes. He looks good only in action scenes. Rashmika is strictly ok but she doesn't have much to do.

People are going to say it a "good enough" movie, entertaining enough to watch once with family, maybe.

Its Not... !!

It's A BAD MOVIE 🎥, not one of the worst though, Its just that , Standards of a movie have dropped low enough to even consider this a Okayish Movie.

A generous 2/5.

When I say, "What has happened to Salman?" I mean it for real. From giving some great acting masterpeice starting from Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Saath Saath Hain, Bajrangi Bhaijaan & Tubelight to this? Almost every second of the movie felt like he was forced to act, and not like there is anyone in Bollywood who can force Salman Khan. Clearly shows he has no interest in acting anymore. Also the writers should try something different, again all similar storyline of B-wood. Dailogues felt pretty unreal, Rashmika also seem like she was reading the dailogues off a book lol, not even a single good delivery. Entire film felt like a disaster in terms of acting, thanks to Kajal saving some acting in second half. The film is a great product for Mass Action loving audience, not for core cinema lovers. Has a weak storyline, whole lot of flaws, and ofcourse no logic in fight scenes. One time entertainer as a mass action film nothing else.

To be honest, I had very little expectations from this latest flick of SK owing to the fact that the trailer was not satisfactory.

The movie started really well. The entry scene of SK and the beginning fight sequences are entertaining and has mass appeal. However, after 30 min the screenplay falters and the story has no novelty. Throughout the 2h40min duration the film never picks up. The direction is not impressive plus the songs are also not chartbuster. This movie has a storyline which is already done to death in Bollywood but as a matter of fact even if the story is not gripping the direction should be extra-ordinary. I don't want to say this I liked SKs movies in the past like TERE NAAM, Bajrangi bhaijaan, Wanted and he acted really well in these movies but in this movie he is little laidback and seemed least interested and his dialogue delivery is terrible. His voice is monotonous in every scene. I'm not sure if it was a dubbing problem or what? But having said that if he would have performed better, this movie would have been watchable atleast. His acting is not up to the mark. I'm comparing this one to SRKs Jawaan. Even though Jawaan had an ordinary story but still because of SRKs performance in dual role took movie to the next level. Here SK was not convincing. Even though this role is made for him. He didn't performed well enough except some emotional scenes and action scenes. Rashmika is miscasted here definitely. This movie never picks up it's very slow, even Tiger 3 was better than this one.

Please save your money and watch it on OTT.
