It isn’t Eid yet but Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is already out with the best Eidi we could ever get. Yes, we are talking about Ali Abbas Zafar’s’Sultan’ here. We usually don’t expect much from the script in a Salman Khan film but our expectations have risen tremendously since’Bajrangi Bhaijaan’.The 50-year-old superstar has made sure that even his detractors come out smiling after watching this flick.The film takes us on a virtual tour to Haryana. The casting of’Sultan’ is brilliantly done. The makers have let each and every character occupy the screen and justify the space with their performances. Anushka Sharma, Her role has the potential to overshadow the titular character but, all thanks to Salman’s stardom, the theatre will go crazy about’Sultan Ali Khan’.
Salman Khan really outdoes himself with this role of a wrestler. With this film, Salman will surely take you on an emotional roller-coaster ride. There are a few scenes, where he will make you giggle with his witty one-liners, while in other scenes, you might find yourself sobbing along with him. The second half of the film is totally dedicated to the hardwork of Salman Khan. Those training sequences of Sultan, in which Randeep trains Salman, will not let your eyes blink for even a second.
Sultan is a sports-drama film and it stars the Bhaijaan, the dialogues are written according to Salman’s personality. But overall, it gets a thumbs up from his fans.
Sultan has all the right ingredients of a ‘masala’ potboiler, and whistling and sobbing are likely to go hand-in-hand here. Don’t go looking for a twist ending, though. We all know what to expect from such a film, but it’s still a lot of fun to see the underdog win.
