About the film
Sikandar tells the story of a raja called Sanjay Rajkot, who faces off against a corrupt politician and turns his life upside down. Helmed by AR Murugadoss, the action drama also featured Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, and Sathyaraj in key roles.
The film was criticised for its direction and performances and yet crossed ₹100 crore at the box office. The film made over ₹200 crore worldwide. Despite the numbers, the film underperformed at the box office by Salman Khan standards.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Salman still owns action scenes like a boss. You know he means business when he merely stands in a battlefield. Yet, Murugadoss’ direction is so below average, that it makes Salman appear even weaker an actor than he really is. And then there is Rashmika, whose dialogue delivery problems persist. She’s unconvincing, and virtually no scene allows her to redeem herself. Her character’s sole moment of self-awareness comes with the line addressing the age disparity between her and Salman: “Hamari umar mein fark zaroor hai, par soch mein nahi (There is a difference in our age but not in thoughts).” And please, let’s not even get started on the butchered version of Lata Mangeshkar’s Lag Jaa Gale, lip-synced as horribly by Rashmika’s character as it has been sung by Iulia Vantur.”
