Not a great story line. But ofcourse if u are sallu bhai fan.then go and watch. The film is Salman Khan’s most restrained performance and that’s worth the price of a ticket!
Sultan is what every Salman Khan film aims to be. It is a showcase of the superstardom of the actor, yet it manages to weave a plot and tell a story that will resonate with audience across age groups and social strata. Cause that is the magic that Salman brings to the cinema. Sultan uses Salman’s stardom by taking the glamour and larger than life persona out and instead bringing out the child-like human quality that is often captured when the actor is off camera. Director Ali Abbas Zafar’s Sultan is more than just a tale of an underdog, it has nuances and references to the human spirit that have an universal appeal. Salman plays a washed out wrestler whose personal life is in doldrums after his wife Aarfa(Anushka Sharma) walks out on him post a tragedy. How Sultan turns things around and decides to give wrestling and his life a second chance is what the film is all about. Amit Sadh plays the businessman friend who invests in Sultan to keep his MMA inspired fighting tournament alive while Randeep Hooda plays Sultan’s coach. Both these characters aptly support and take the story ahead in their own way. However if you strip the film off the wrestling and much publicised ‘Dhobhi Pachad’, Sultan has a beautiful love story at its heart.
