Sikandar ka Muqaddar

You start the film hoping to see Neeraj Pandey's intense grip on such genre like Special 26 but sooner you'll realise that it'll be a mistake to even finish it.

Overall plot is promising but inside it's an empty coconut shell. You will exactly know what's gonna happen and guess what! The film never surprises you.

The Direction seems poor, I don't why Neeraj put continuous shots in the scenes where there is absolutely no requirement of that. I had to play some parts in 1.5x due to that.

Some Characters were forcefully developed and then left alone as if they have nothing to do with this.

This film is disappointment at its best. First "Auron me kahan dum tha" now this.

This is a crime thriller set in the heart of Bombay (older name of Mumbai, India). It revolves around a heist that takes place in an expo event in a large hall. However, the police interrogate the wrong set of people. But are the police completely wrong?

Nothing you see in this movie is straightforward. However, it looks very simple at first. That's the expertise of Neeraj Pandey, who likes to open up the story like the layers of an onion. Mr. Pandey is an expert at heist stories, which is evident from his previous movies like Special 26, which performed very well. I would recommend everyone to watch this at least once, but not more than that :)

You see the trailer and see Neeraj Pandey's name. The memories hit back!

Baby

Special 26

"This one must be a worthy movie," you tell yourself.

The movie starts off slow, you constantly keep waiting for something to happen, something to reveal itself but nothing happens. "Did I miss anything?"

The narrative keeps juggling between the past and the present, and there are nice intersections that keep you hooked throughout. Neeraj Pandey makes sure you feel bored initially and then when the story starts weaving itself, you get a few Eureka moments.

The set design in the past narrative could have used better art direction, hair and make up. I'm sorry but they looked all out of place. Looked like the production budget was tight.

It's not a typical "whodunit" since three suspects are readily singled out an they are the actors you see on the poster, so it all comes down to how did they do it? Even though from a cinematic point of view, some of the twists were good, realistically they seemed out of place.

"No one has so much patience" is what will you think.

Story - 7/10

Cast - 6/10

Direction - 8/10

"The End" title card comes during the climax, and the movie still continues from there for another 30 minutes. I liked that bit because I would have hated the movie if that actually happened.

The storyline could have been a bit tighter, there were a few unnecessary scenes but overall it was a good watch.

PS: The end is open ended but it feels justified.

It's very confusing story . If character don't know eachother then how can they know there past story in just one day meeting. Also if there is not powerfull love story then why created love triangle ? If showed 15 years of service of officer then why you showed them against dipartment even there family distance loveship . This things makes big mind set in youngsters and even these things makes our next generation more week . Totally incomplete movie or story also dont try to do a siqual if thinking to create again . Very bad story siquence also bad character showcasing and explanation. Movie is not good at the end .

Entire plot is illogic..and 15 yrs for chasing...what a logic by neeraj Pandey...Hero character shows no logic and sense.... No proper action and thrill movements in movie...Characters Priya kamini and third lady character for supporting hero without any plans..Hero also don't have any ambition or why he theft no conclusion..Director thinks audiance can see all illogic things without any conclusion....atleast cinema show some thrill movements in this type of movie everybody expect but it doesn't show any thing ..no proper dialogues and action in this heist movie...people expected kore from director.
