    Awesome & Excellent SHOW

    Watched SULTAN !! Excellent movie .....standing ovation for the tremendous performance @ SALMAN Excellent performance by Anushka Sharna & Randeep Hooda. All time Blockbuster ... !! A true sportsman movie

    Journey of #Sultan begins... Salman Khan at his careers best. Godly physique, firm determination and killer training: that's how champions are made. Salman #Sultan Khan enters with a bang. On-screen or off-screen, crowds go crazy. Whistles, cheers everywhere.

    Every frame of Sultan will have deep significance for Khan's numerous fans, who have stuck by Hindi cinema's notorious prodigal son despite his frequent off-screen controversies.

    Stupendous Sultan will make you Laugh,Dance,Cry with Goose Bumps

    The movie is a fictional sports drama but the the way it has been executed it seems real. Salman Khan and Eid has became synonymous in India. This movie is not only highly recommended for the Salman fans rather all those who love to watch brilliant mainstream cinema. Salman Anushka looks great as couple and at the same time very intense and cute. Music is add on to the movie. Specially the Rise Of Sultan is amazing track. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is always a lucky charm for Salman Khan. Vishal Shekhar first got the opportunity to compose for Salman Khan Movie. Movie will make you laugh,cry and give you goose bumps. You will never feel the movie flat because its all about ups and ups. Salman Khan is like old wine, getting better and better with the time. So, its a Super Entertaining YRF's ,Salman Khan's Film. So, must watch it. i give 9/10. I cut one marks because i love to watch Salman Khan in even bigger and greater role on next Eid.

    On the league of Bajrangi Bhaijaan

    This movie is challenging "Bajrangi Bhaijaan".. both in terms of positive reviews by the critics and praising from the public. People are comparing Sultan to Bajrangi, gotta say Salman once again has given the best performance in his career, movie has the repeat value like watching it again and again. The director has brought out the best from Salman....Anushka surprised me as a wrestler, she was amazing, brilliant performance from both of them. This movie has class stamped all over it. Sultan is a touching love story with emotions, comedy, action & a powerful message; Never let success get to your head, it is complete winner, everything is just perfect be it acting,music,emotions,direction,cinematography.

    Probably Salman's biggest ever. Possibly India's biggest ever!! That's #Sultan

    Movie and Business Rating: 5 star***** IT IS HUGE HUGE HUGE! That's ‪#‎Sultan‬. Unstoppable tsunami from ‪#‎SalmanKhan‬ this Eid. Let the celebrations begin!!! :) :) Probably Salman's biggest ever. Possibly India's biggest ever!! That's #Sultan :) There is something about #SalmanKhan. Either you love him for his charm, screen presence or bold attitude or you hate him due to his controversial remarks or brush with law but you cannot deny the fact that he is one superstar whose stardom and films are not impacted at all(morning shows were ‪#‎housefull‬ at 8 AM everywhere for "Sultan" .. unbelievable.. isn't it ???) at the box office. Now coming to the performances, it is #SalmanKhan all the way. #SalmanKhan is #Sultan and #Sultan is #SalmanKhan :) I cannot imagine anyone else playing the character of "Sultan" and that is where ‪#‎Salman‬ proved his mettle. The actor deep dives into the character as if it was tailor-made for him and gives his best. ‪#‎AnushkaSharma‬ as Aarfa is equally competent and shines in her well- defined character :) ‪#‎AmitSadh‬ ( the guy from "‪#‎KaiPoChe‬") finally gets the opportunity to show his acting skills and the actor does well. Last but not the least, ‪#‎RandeepHooda‬ will blow your mind with impeccable performance. The actor who plays Anushka's father does a fine job as well. :) :) ‪#‎AliAbbasZafar‬'s direction is superb. He has kept the narrative style simple and extremely entertaining and engaging. Also, his direction caters as much to the classes as to masses, as much to the ladies as to men, as much to the old as to the young. ‪#‎Music‬ is a major plus point. ‪#‎Jag‬ Ghoomeya, ‪#‎BabyKoBassPasandHai‬', ‪#‎440Volt‬ and Title track are hit songs. ‪#‎SultanReview‬ #Sultan ‪#‎SultanBlockbuster‬ ‪#‎SultanAtCarnivalCinemas‬ Overall, The film has got 'B-L-O-C-K-B-U-S-T-E-R' written all over it. Go for it! :) :P

    SULTAN review: great film by salman khan.

    Sultan is a superb family entertainer. Sultan" is a sports-drama film with a good dose of romance, music and emotional quotient. Director Ali Abbas Zafar has written the story, while producer Aditya Chopra has penned the screenplay for the movie, which deals with the story of heart, passion and grit in Sultan Ali Khan wrestler from Haryana. It is about how Sultan brings to life his story of love and determination against all odds. It has got superb plot and story-line and salman delivers a powerful performance. Everyone has done a great job. "Sultan" has been produced with a whopping budget by Aditya Chopra under his banner Yash Raj Films. The movie has superb production elements. Vishal-Shekhar's music and background score, Artur Zurawski's cinematography, choreography of wrestling scenes and punch dialogues are the attractions on the technical front, add the audience. OVERALL ITS A MUST WATCH for EVERYONE.
