Sikandar

Tried too much and made a mess. Very few positives and disappointment all around. Even it felt like it was rushed in the pressure to release it at Eid. They've taken time to complete it properly.
The story starts alright and has an alright first half but the second half is way too long and slow. The subplots are introduced and dragged too much. The screenplay has pacing issues, was pacy where it should've explained and vice versa.
The only good thing was cinematography and camera work, it caught an eye. It made the action look better. Some shots looked fabulous the way they were shot. Kajal Aggarwal and Sharman Joshi didn't have much screentime.
Salman Khan looked like he always does, however his efforts showed but he should stop doing big boss and all. Sathyaraj was a typical unimpressive villain and the rivalry felt flat. Rashmika had a small but impactful role.
The makers tried to give all, love, emotions, social messages, action but all those don't land that way. Emotions feel but not in a perfect way. The action was good though. BGM was alright but the CGI and VFX was bad, even face swapping was evident.
However it wasn't that bad like KKBKKJ and Radhey but it is also not one of his good works. He needs better scripts and also execution. I noticed around me everyone says he always looks the same because they see him too much, stop bigboss please.

In half the movie, Salman's face looks photoshopped. Movie has a story but screenplay couldn't have been written worse than this... We are trying to make a South Movie with Salman's standard aura, it was meant to bomb.

Let fans say whatever they want, people should refrain from making such movies. If you think you are delivering a social message - no you are not, if you are torturing people to sit through 2 hours of a slumberfest, with cheapo vfx, actors with plastic facial expressions sleepwalking through the scenes, stupid dialogues, bad editing, and a director who was maybe high throughout the shoot.

another slop by salman khan. prem ratan dhan payo is better than this!
