Sikandar yaani Sanjay Rajkot (Salman Khan) — Rajkot ka ek respected aur powerful aadmi — apni zindagi mein sab kuch theek chal raha tha. Lekin ek flight mein corrupt Minister Pradhan (Sathyaraj) ke bete se panga le liya, aur phir shuru hua badla ka khel.
Dusri taraf, uski biwi Saisri (Rashmika Mandanna) ek accident mein chali jaati hai aur apne organs donate karti hai teen logon ko. Jab Sikandar unse milne Mumbai aata hai, minister un teeno ko target karne ki dhamki deta hai. Ab Sikandar ko unhe bachana hai aur justice dilana hai — akele, apne swag ke saath.
Simple story. Predictable story. Isliye hi toh problem hai.

Sikandar Me Kya Acha Laga?
- Salman Ka Screen Presence: Bhai jab bhi screen pe aate hain, energy aati hai. Kuch action sequences mein woh genuinely intense lagte hain — especially emotional scenes mein thoda restraint dikhta hai jo recent films mein miss tha.
- Action Sequences: High-octane action hai — agar aap sirf masala entertainment chahte ho toh kuch scenes mast hain.
- Kajal Aggarwal: Limited role mein bhi unhone screen ko sambhala. Second half mein unki presence kuch rahat deti hai.
- Production Quality: Budget clearly dikhta hai — sets, cinematography (Tirru ka kaam) aur background score (Santhosh Narayanan) decent hain.
Movie Me Kya Bura Laga?
- Weak Script: Story itni predictable hai ki interval se pehle hi climax samajh aa jaata hai. A.R. Murugadoss — jinhone Ghajini aur Thuppakki jaise films di hain — unka writing yahaan completely flat lag raha hai.
- Rashmika Mandanna Underused: Heroine ka role sirf ek prop jaisa hai. Unhe karne ko kuch khaas mila hi nahi. Chemistry bhi Salman ke saath zero thi.
- Sathyaraj Wasted: Villain strong hona chahiye tha — lekin unhe itna less screen time aur weak motive mila ki darr hi nahi lagta.
- Social Message Confusion: Film pollution, corruption, organ donation sab uthata hai — lekin kisi bhi issue ko seriously handle nahi karta. Sirf naam ke liye social message hai.
- Dialogues: Monotonous aur flat. Woh punch nahi hai jo purani Salman films mein tha.
Salman Khan Ka Performance
Honestly bolein toh — woh zyada effort karte dikhte hain is baar. Kuch emotional moments mein genuinely touching hain. Lekin problem yeh hai ki woh same character phir se play kar rahe hain — swag, bracelet, mid-shots, fan-service moments — sab wahi purana formula. Ek point pe toh character seedha camera tod ke baat karta hai — aur feel aata hai ki movie Salman ko serve kar rahi hai, na ki Salman movie ko.
Director A.R. Murugadoss Ka Direction
Ek director jo Ghajini aur Thuppakki jaise cult classics de chuka hai — unse zyada expect karna natural hai. Lekin Sikandar mein lagta hai jaise script jaldi mein complete ki gayi ho. Film 30 March ko release hui, aur shooting March 15 ko wrap hui thi — zyada post-production time nahi tha, aur yeh dikhta bhi hai.
Music Kaisa Hai?
Pritam ka music disappointing hai. Koi bhi track yaadon mein nahi rehta. Background score better hai, lekin overall soundtrack forgettable hai — jo ek Eid release ke liye thoda jaroor alag lagta hai.
Verdict: Watch Karein Ya Skip?
- Salman Khan ke hardcore fans ke liye: One-time watch hai. Bhai ka swag dekh ke maza aa sakta hai — expectations low rakho.
- Casual movie lovers ke liye: Skip karo. Better options hain OTT pe.
- Cinema lovers ke liye: Definitely skip. Yeh film aapko frustrate karega.
Sikandar ek aisi film hai jo Salman Khan ki star power pe chal toh gayi, lekin story, script aur direction ke maamle mein woh ek missed opportunity rahi. Jab AR Murugadoss jaisa director aur Salman Khan jaisa star mil ke bhi ek average film deliver kare — toh sach mein dil thoda dukha.
“Main tujhe maaf karta hoon” — yeh dialogue sun ke villain bhi confused ho gaya. Aur hum bhi.
- Box Office: Eid holiday aur Salman ki fan following ki wajah se opening strong rahi, lekin long run mein sustain karna mushkil raha.
- OTT Release: Netflix pe 25 May 2025 se available hai — ghar baith ke dekh sakte ho, ticket waste karne ki zarurat nahi.
