🎬 Plot Overview
Salman Khan portrays Sanjay Rajkot, affectionately known as "Sikandar" or "Raja Saab," a benevolent king whose life is upended when his wife, Saisri (Rashmika Mandanna), is killed by a corrupt minister (Sathyaraj). Before her death, Saisri donates her organs to three individuals in Mumbai. The antagonist targets these recipients as part of a vendetta against Sanjay, prompting him to protect them and improve their lives. This narrative aims to blend action with emotional depth, highlighting themes of redemption and altruism.
📝 Conclusion
Sikandar aspires to be a compelling blend of action and emotion but ultimately falls short due to a weak narrative and inconsistent execution. While it may appeal to die-hard Salman Khan fans, the film lacks the depth and originality to leave a lasting impression. For viewers seeking a nuanced and engaging cinematic experience, Sikandar may not deliver.
