Sikandar- Another Great Example Of Bollywood’s Ongoing Issues - Review by Sucharita

Sikandar is too desperate to tell you the story of the “big-hearted king”. But then what? SUBSCRIBE - https://bit.ly/35NEDO7 Sikandar Movie Review by Sucharita Tyagi - No one expects a Salman Khan starrer to offer commentary on the socio-political implications of monarchy in modern India, if indeed there are any expectations at all. But with each such film, with each display of how abjectly stupid the Hindi cinema audience is assumed to be, the hope that huge mainstream Hindi cinema has ANYTHING fresh left to offer is diminishing. The dissonance is astounding, especially now, when nothing really seems to be working, critically or commercially, and half-assed attempts are routinely being called out as such. According to reports this film finished shooting on March 15, and here we are now March 30th reviewing the final product. Or what has been deemed good enough for us to consume and consummately celebrate. Sikandar is desperate to tell you the story of a “big-hearted king”. After the Ambani wedding, I have realized no outlandish display of wealth is outlandish enough. It might be tacky, but rich people clearly are doing things like hiring drones to spell out love messages on random nights. Sikandar does that too, but he also, without provocation starts singing “ajeeb dastan hai yeh”, sadly and unironically as a doctor hands him papers detailing his deceased wife’s organ donation plans. And this isn’t even the weirdest moment in the film. It's cute to witness writer–director AR Murugadoss’s hopes that there still is a world out there where people come together en masse in each other’s sorrows and happiness. That the public CAN be mobilized successfully against the tyranny of the police. That rich people WILL find their life’s true purpose if only they realize how families in Dharavi live. Guts hain to be so singularly focused on telling the little story you want to, without giving a damn about authenticity, milieu, or atmosphere. But here is a filmmaker who remade Memento, unofficially, TWICE, without telling Christopher Nolan. Toh means, guts toh hain. Sikandar (lit. 'Sikandar') is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by A. R. Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The film stars Salman Khan in the titular role, alongside Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, Kishore, Jatin Sarna and Sanjay Kapoor. In the film, Sanjay "Sikandar" Rajkot, the king of Rajkot, becomes a target for Minister Rakesh Pradhan after killing his son. When his wife’s donated organs save three lives, Rakesh seeks revenge, forcing Sanjay to protect them. Sucharita Tyagi is the newly elected Vice Chairperson of the Film Critics Guild of India.
