Sikandar
Sikandar is a routine, outdated, old-school action drama that big stars should stop even considering at this point. Everything about the film is outright bad and poorly executed. The chemistry between Rashmika Mandanna and Salman Khan as a husband-wife duo falls completely flat. The dull dialogues lack impact, and the emotional scenes leave you questioning their intent rather than feeling moved. It’s a clear indication of how terribly the film is made. As much as I love watching Salman Khan perform, his screen presence in recent films, including this one, feels more like he’s hosting Bigg Boss rather than embodying a lively, engaging character. Director A.R. Murugadoss, who once delivered solid films like Ghajini, Thuppakki, and Kaththi, has been struggling to bounce back in recent years, continuing his streak of disappointments. Hopefully, his next with Sivakarthikeyan breaks the pattern & delivers.
