Sikandar (Salman Khan) goes by many names, starting from Sanjay, Rajasaab, Bhaijaan, Radhe, Yuvraj Vijay Singh, and all the character names that you can immediately think of from his previous films. He plays the same old hunky action hero with a swag without much intervention in terms of his acting or dancing skills or the demands of the plot. He repeats himself to the point that it becomes a defining quirk of his character, registering an obsessive nature over his style against any narrative logic.

The film’s protagonist, Vir (Salman Khan), is forced by his boisterous father to drink a jug of milk with egg yolk and jog all over a village. Vir’s father (Sharat Saxena) is a Thakur, supposedly in a village in Uttar Pradesh. He makes stupid statements like, “Thakurs aren’t supposed to use their brains. They get a headache if they do.”

The same could be said of filmmakers who make such preposterously illogical films in the hope of selling absurdity as a novelty to the audience.
