Sikandar Movie Review – A Glossy Miss, Salman Khan’s Low Point After Tubelight
Sikandar tries to present itself as a grand cinematic experience, but ends up feeling hollow and disappointing. For me personally, this is Salman Khan’s worst film after Tubelight. Despite the hype and the visuals, the movie falls flat in almost every department—story, performances, and emotional connection.
The film suffers from a confused and weak storyline. There’s no strong plot to hold the audience’s interest, and most of the characters seem lost. Salman Khan looks stylish, but the script gives him nothing substantial to work with. It’s hard to connect with his character or understand the purpose of his journey.
Sharman Joshi and Kajal Aggarwal are barely noticeable, offering no impact or memorable performances. Sathyaraj, known for his powerful presence, is wasted in an underwritten role. One of the biggest letdowns is the presentation of Rani Sahiba, whose costumes look more suited to a fashion runway or airline ad than royalty. It’s hard to understand what tone the film is aiming for—modern or period.
The only somewhat positive takeaway is the background score, especially the line:
“Har dil ka woh ek dilaawar… jaane jigar, woh hai kaun? Sikandar.”
It’s catchy, but sadly, one good line can’t save an entire film.
If Tubelight was a misstep, Sikandar takes it a step further with its lack of coherence and depth. Even for a die-hard Salman fan, this film is difficult to sit through.
