Sikandar Review Movie Talkies:
Salman Khan is back with another Eid release, but sadly, that old traditional magic is missing. It's been nine years since he delivered a good film on Eid, and the wait continues with Sikandar. Tubelight, Race 3, Bharat, Radhe, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, and now Sikandar—you know what I mean, right? Salman has spoiled another Eid, and we hope he comes back stronger next time.
Sikandar has a poor story, but it's even worse regarding the storytelling and presentation. Salman Khan and AR Murugadoss' lazy efforts are clearly visible on the screen, and now it's the audience who will feel lazy going to watch the film.

The film takes you into the life of Sanjay Rajkot (Salman Khan), the king of Rajkot, and his wife, Saisri (Rashmika Mandanna). Sanjay is not only the king of Rajkot but also the Messiah of the people and is therefore worshiped by everyone. Once, he beats a son of a minister for a wrongful act, and there begins a new enmity, followed by a couple of deaths/tragedies. Sanjay must now rectify his mistakes, which takes him to Mumbai.
The screenplay here is very boring, to say the least, and moreover, it's cringe-worthy to see someone approving of such outdated conflicts in today's time. Murugadoss, with his story and screenplay, has failed big time and deserves all the blame for this crap show. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and at least a dozen of them—Rajat Arora, Hussain Dalal, and Abbas Dalal's dialogues will add more to your minus account and will likely make you leave your seats.
After Murugadoss, it's Salman Khan who should be blamed. First, he shouldn't have signed this script. Second, he shouldn't have acted the way he did. You may remember the trolling and memes regarding Race 3, so better prepare yourself for such hysteria again, as Salman has totally lost it this time. He acts better while hosting Bigg Boss than in this film. Why, Bhai, why? Please don't waste your stardom and time like this. Fans deserve better.

Thankfully, Rashmika Mandanna disappears sooner than expected; otherwise, it would have been such a headache. Kajal Aggarwal looks beautiful, but there's not much to her performance of the character. Anjini Dhawan was better in Binny than in this, and Sharman Joshi's dialogue delivery will give you the feeling of watching a 0.5x motion-speed video. Sathyaraj is wasted, and Prateik Babbar is terrible.
The music here is decent, as Zohra Jabeen feels good; it's just the timing that is wrong and feels forced at the moment. The title song is the best thing among all, but it hasn't been used well by the director. It adds some watchable value to the over-the-top climax. Sikandar is a big-budget movie, and you can feel that with the sets and everything, but does that make it watchable? A BIG NO. This is another Race 3, and we believe there will be many trolls in the next few hours for this horrible film.
Sikandar Subpar Advance: Another Underwhelming opening for Salman Khan –
AR Murugadoss has made films like Ghajini and Holiday in Bollywood (both remakes) to earn a good reputation, and now he has made Sikandar to destroy that goodwill. Yes, Sikandar shows you how bad a filmmaker he can be when everything goes wrong. It's shockingly bad; you don't really expect someone like ARM to make such a poor film, which can easily be called his WORST FILM EVER!
