Review : Sikandar offers a mix of electrifying action and dramatic storytelling!

Sikandar is an action-packed thriller directed by #ARMurugadoss, starring #SalmanKhan in the lead role. The film opens with a high-energy sequence, introducing Raja Sanjay ‘Sikandar’ Rajkot, a fearless and principled man who stands up against corruption and injustice.

The story takes a turn when Arjun Pradhan (#PrateikBabbar), the reckless son of Minister Rakesh Pradhan (#Sathyaraj), creates chaos. Sikandar’s confrontation with Arjun sparks a powerful battle between him and the corrupt system. Alongside him is Saisri Rajkot (#RashmikaMandanna), who adds emotional depth to the story.

The film looks visually stunning, with great cinematography that highlights the action sequences and drama. However, the story struggles to stay engaging throughout. Some dialogues feel unnatural, and at times, it seems like the film relies too much on dubbing. While the movie has a good message, the story is stretched unnecessarily in parts, which makes it lose its impact and slows down the pacing.

The music of ‘Sikandar’ adds to the film’s Bollywood charm with a mix of energetic and emotional songs. The tracks fit well with the story and make important scenes more engaging. The romantic song with Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna is a highlight, perfectly capturing their chemistry, while the theme song makes the action scenes even more exciting. However, while the music is enjoyable, none of the songs stand out as unforgettable hits that people will keep humming long after watching the movie.

Sikandar is packed with action and excitement, but its storyline feels like a mix of movies like ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’, ‘Jai Ho’, and ‘Kick’ blending elements of grandeur, social messages, and intense action. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fully meet audience expectations. The climax, in particular, is not as strong as it could be, leaving some viewers disappointed.

In conclusion, ‘Sikandar’ is a one-time watch, offering a mix of electrifying action and dramatic storytelling. While it succeeds in capturing the essence of a Bollywood masala entertainer, its shortcomings in pacing and narrative coherence may leave some viewers wanting more. Fans of Salman Khan and mainstream Bollywood will find it enjoyable, but for those seeking a more refined cinematic experience, it might not fully satisfy.
