To know more, read the Sikandar movie review.

Acting and Characters

Salman Khan‘s performance as Sanjay and Sikandar is action-packed, but he falls short of fulfilling the part completely. Aside from his acts, his character is written pretty poorly. He was not given anything specific to do. His age is now readily apparent on his face. His weak acting, body language, and facial emotions are consistent across all of his flicks. There is nothing new about the same dance moves and acting. The entire film is on his shoulders, although his character should have been unique, but it fell short.

Rashmika Mandana‘s role as Saishri is equally unremarkable. She appeared like a dwarf in front of Salman Khan. She appears only in the first 40 minutes of the film. The age difference between her and Salman Khan is obvious on screen. She didn’t get to do anything exceptional. I didn’t understand how she accepted such a minor role. She was unable to demonstrate her talent on screen in this film, given her previous performances in Pushpa, Animal, and Pushpa 2.

Sharman Joshi‘s character, Amar, similarly lacked power. His performance was likewise unremarkable; he was made to stand in front of Salman Khan like a puppet. There is nothing more than this. Prateik Babbar‘s performance as Arjun is limited to three scenes in the film; imagine what he could achieve in those three. Kajal Agarwal‘s role as Vaidehi is minor, yet she delivers an adequate performance. Sathyaraj‘s portrayal of Minister Pradhan is satisfactory; he was the only one who could deliver an effective performance. His role was minor, but he performed admirably. Sanjay Kapoor utterly failed in the role of Nisha’s father. He also had only two or three scenes.

Direction

This film was directed by AR Murugadoss. He is recognized for directing Tamil films in South India. His debut Hindi directorial film, Ghajini (2008), starring Aamir Khan, was a remake of the Tamil blockbuster Ghajini (2005). Then he directed Holiday (2014), starring Akshay Kumar, which was a remake of the Tamil film Thuppakki (2012). Following that, Akira (2016), starring Sonakshi Sinha, was released as a remake of the Tamil film Mouna Guru (2011). Except for Akira, all of his films were successful.

For the first time, he is directing a Hindi film called Sikandar without recreating a Tamil film. However, the premise of this movie lacks substance, and his direction is also lackluster. He couldn’t tell the narrative effectively or hold it firmly. The film merely entertains in terms of action; otherwise, there is nothing fresh in the plot. The acting performances of all the characters were also poor. He was able to retain and keep the film’s action tone consistent. The film’s speed and narrative framework were also lacking. Yes, he was able to effectively mix photography, music, editing, and sound throughout the film. The director has presented the societal topic intelligently. The director failed to live up to the audience’s expectations.

Story-Screenplay-Dialogue

AR Murugadoss wrote the story, screenplay, and dialogues for the Sikandar movie, and there is nothing new in it. The screenplay was ineffective in developing characters. At times, the film drags on. There are breaks and gaps in the tale that prevent the film from running smoothly, and the scenes are not well-created, adding no twists or emotional effect to the story. The dialogues in the film are excellently written, particularly those of Salman Khan. The dialogues are amazing, and Salman Khan’s delivery is excellent.

Cinematography

S Thirunavukkarasu‘s cinematography is stunning and moves the drama along. Camera angles and motion have been employed seamlessly. The film’s lighting and color scheme are appropriate for its theme and tone. The composition of the scenes is extremely appealing. Locations and production design have been demonstrated adequately.

Editing

Vivek Harshan‘s terrible editing slows down the tale and makes it disjointed. The film is also too long; perhaps 5–10 minutes should have been cut. The scenes are seamlessly integrated.

Production Design

The set design by Amit Ray and Subrata Chakraborty makes the film’s locations appear believable in light of the story’s backdrop. The setups appear fake and shaky. As a result, the film’s scenes appear unrealistic. The background details appear to be unoriginal. The production design did not establish a consistent atmosphere.

Background Score.

Santhosh Narayanan composed the film’s background score, which was intended to accentuate the tale. It also increases the emotions and mood of the moments while also fitting well with the film’s theme and tone.

Music

Pritam provided the film’s music. The music is not as memorable as the music in Salman Khan’s films. The music in this movie is not like that at all. Zohra Jabeen‘s song is okay, Bam Bam Bhole is average, and Sikandar Naache can be heard once. Singer: Arijit Singh’s song “Hum Aapke Bina” is beautiful and melodious, although it was not included in the film entirely.

Lyricist

Sameer wrote all the film’s songs. He is a well-known lyricist in the film industry who has been creating songs for a long time.

Sound Design

Parikshit Lalwani and Kunal Mehta‘s sound design is natural and effective, enhancing the action and emotional sequences. Dialogue and sounds can be heard clearly. Visual and sound design are inextricably linked.

Choreography

Choreography was done by Farah Khan, Ahmed Khan, Dinesh Master, and Brinda. Salman Khan is adept at doing dance movements in his flicks, and all the songs have been choreographed. The dance steps are identical to those from his previous flicks; nothing is new.

Costume Design

There was little potential for costume design; only Salman Khan’s costumes were designed by his sister, Alvira Agnihotri, to reflect his personality and character. Meagan Concessio designed Rashmika Mandanna’s costume.

Action

The film’s main unique selling point is its action, and Kevin Kumar is making his debut as an action director with this flick. He generated a sensation with his first picture alone. He brought the film to life with his excellent actions and stunts. Some stunning and great stunts help move the story ahead. The film’s strongest point is its action.

Climax

The climax is nothing new; we’ve seen them many times before in earlier flicks. As soon as the hero comes, he frees his people from the goons and beats up the villain. It’s the same old climax from past films.

Rating

4/10

Opinion

This film is suitable for those who enjoy masala and action films, particularly Salman Khan fans.

Disadvantages

The movie mocks the law and police. Police have no value; everyone is taking the law into their own hands. At the very least, the police should have been portrayed as strong in the film.

Social message

Donating organs has been demonstrated in the film; people should be urged to donate. This will boost the number of people who donate organs across the country.
