So this is the first movie where salman khan take’s off his shirt and everyone-including khan-shudders. Portraying sultan, who goes form being fid and lean to a gloomy middle-aged punch-burdened man, khan performs with elan and unhappiness, his acting giving sultan a nice, runder punch Raewari lad sultan(salman) falls in love with wrestling champion Aarfa(Anushka). who tells him no ganwaar lacking a goal can winher. sultan determinedly joins Aarfa fathers akhaara-the scene where he awitches from barkat bhai to uncle is fun-and trains so hard, he wins every championship and Aarfas heart But when sultan wins the Olympics he loses his head and in his arrogance loses Aarfa and more. the only way sultan ean win Aarfa and his own identity hack is by competing in entrepreneur Akash oberoi’s(Amit) mixed martial arts(MMA) TOURNAMENT. BUT CAN THE DESI WRESTLER. NOW OVERWEIGHT AND BROKEN. SPIRITED COMPETE AGAINST THE WORLDS toughest judo, karate, and capoeira champions.sultan givens fighting performance his character graph moving plausibly from a cheery every day, "loojie" to determined athlete an arrogant star, a crushed depressed, lonely guy. Anushka plays her familiar feisty girl with a rustic twang and self control. but fairly little change the performance which really impresses is sultan’s friend govind(Anant) who stands by his buddy through broken heart and crushed rib charming throughout. Amit sabh presents an attractive persona while kumud mishra as Anushka’s father and sultan’s guru adds noticeable subtlety to the drama sultan’s dialogues also"oopher" a Harynvi kick while it’s visuals are fresh and attractive swaying with Raewari’s eucalyptus trees and gushing canals. the trouble is its length. at nearly three hours of runtime sultan gets heavy and repetitive only so many training sequences can look sharp and by the time Randeep tlooda shows up as MMA coach fateh Singh resembling a perennially eating Brad Pitt from oceans eleven but overacting as he gets senti about sultan you become restive by cutting 30 minutes of flab- running commentaries, kite running tsslas taalis- sultan could’ve been a leaner meaner movie. As it is its more a large lassi, not an espresso shot. go watch sultan. it’s got moments of "Ghana" good fan and very nice movie.
