Sikandar gets mixed reviews from fans

Sikandar, starring Salman Khan, hit theatres on Eid after a two-year gap, with Rashmika Mandanna as his romantic lead. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film was highly anticipated, however, the movie has received mixed to negative reviews from the audiences.

The movie review by HT read, “Salman still owns action scenes like a boss. You know he means business when he merely stands in a battlefield. Yet, Murugadoss’ direction is so below average, that it makes Salman appear even weaker an actor than he really is. And then there is Rashmika, whose dialogue delivery problems persist. She’s unconvincing, and virtually no scene allows her to redeem herself. Her character's sole moment of self-awareness comes with the line addressing the age disparity between her and Salman.”

About Sikandar

Helmed by AR Murugadoss, Sikandar is an action thriller starring Salman Khan in the lead role, alongside Rashmika Mandanna, Sharman Joshi, Kajal Aggarwal, Prateik Babbar, and Sathyaraj in key roles. The film, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, was released in theatres on March 30.
