Sikandar

Salman look tired, haggard and out of shape in a stale story that was already done multiple times. It seemed all the rest of cast were doing was paying obeisance to the hero. Mandana was cast as a lucky charm on account of her previous movies being hits. It was embarrassing to see an accomplished actor and beloved 3 idiots character Shraman Joshi reduced to just being a yes man in this movie. The fight scenes as usual were exaggerated and songs easily forgotten even before it finished. Basically, there are no endearing qualities about the movie that would drag me to watch it again. I had high expectation from a Murgadoss movie but was disappointed.

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.

Behold the cinematic calamity that is Sikandar, a film that bravely attempts to cobble together a handful of semi-decent ideas before swan-diving into a cesspool of cringe and archaic South Indian tropes that even a time machine couldn't salvage. The narration limps along like a bored tortoise, while the screenplay tosses in a few tolerable scenes and lines before collapsing into a flat, dull, snooze-fest that could double as a cure for insomnia.

Salman Khan graces the screen looking like he's about to get admited in a hospital," his acting is no better.

Kajal Agarwal in her limited and unimportant role appears to have traded her charm for a face full of fillers and Botox, rendering her a plastic caricature with the same old subpar performance we've come to dread.

Rashmika, whose grating voice and overacting could make a saint weep, and you've got a Salman-Rashmika duo so mismatched, it felt absurd and agonizing.

Sathyaraj's turn as the antagonist is about as convincing as a toddler in a trench coat pretending to be a mob boss, while the rest of the cast flails valiantly in this sinking ship. The production values are passable, like a participation trophy for effort, but the music is a forgettable dirge that fails to stir the soul. The direction? A relic of a bygone era, so outdated it might as well have been shot on a flip phone.

In short, Sikandar is a cinematic misadventure not worth the popcorn you'd choke on while trying to endure it. Save your time, your money, and your sanity-skip this one.

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.

Salman Khan fans should avoid this completely.

For few years Salman has been essaying same roles in the same tone.

Trailer of the film was bad and the film is even worse.

Story of the film is lackluster. Viewers will be left confused about origin of their hero. Villains are a joke in this film. Objective of film is not clear till the very end.

Salman's acting is fake. Emotions are looking forced on his face. His dancing skills have gone downhill. That monotone acting has become irritating now!

He needs to retire just like Dhoni should retire from IPL!

Salman is losing his fans one film at a time... He should stop having songs at all in his films. It was embarrassing for us to watch him dance in a wobbly manner.

Songs are forced in the movie. They are not even good.

Sharman Joshi has been wasted, Sathyaraj's dialogues have not been dubbed properly.

All departments fail in this film... Even the release date of film on Sunday is a blunder ... making it lose over 100-150 crores. Sunday is unlucky for Salman. Tiger 3 was the biggest example.

Totally avoidable...
