Sultan is a sports drama film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. The film stars Salman Khan, Anushka Sharma in the lead roles. The film produced by Yash Raj Films is releasing on 6th July. Let's move on to Sultan movie review .
Only sky is the limit as far as box office potential is concerned. Coming to film's content, we are expecting an entertaining film and some solid punches from Salman Khan. This review is completely spoiler free.
The film tells the story of a local wrestler Sultan Ali Khan (Salman Khan) who dreams of winning Gold Medal for India at Olympics. Then there is a young girl Aarfa (Anushka Sharma) from the same village of Sultan who also wishes to represent India in wrestling. As luck would have been, they both fell in love. However, something drastic happens in Sultan's life which broke him completely. Later on, Sultan once again dreams to come back but this time in UFC. He has now nothing to lose but will he be able to achieve what he dreamt? Watch the film to find out.
Sultan is all about Salman Khan and it will not be wrong to say that it is one man show. However Salman does not disappoint at all and it is his charisma which sticks the audience till the end. There is a detailed carving out of its characters. Sultan’s character is developed amazingly in the first half and also maintains the grip in the second. It takes some time to introduce him as Sultan Ali Khan but the build up is worth.
Sultan's story may have been tried earlier but it still had all the ingredients for a clever film. Sultan goes wrong thanks to its attempt to make it emotionally challenging and life changing. The first half focuses on developing the characters and their emotional connection, the main action is saved for the second half. But here the director goes wrong. The pace is slow and the film gets stretched. You don't feel for emotional sequences however Salman's training sequences will definitely give goosebumps to you.
The story’s melodrama is restricted, keeping the dramatic bits plain. The film has its high and lows but overall it is a decent watch.
After Gunday, one was not expecting much from Ali Abbas Zafar. However, this time, the director has done a lot of research on the script and has also focused on the character building. He managed to bring Salman out of his comfort zone and does some action in the wring. But he loses the plot when he tries to portray it as a life changing journey.
The fight sequences are pretty good, especially in the Akhada. The UFC portion seems to be shot in a hurry and there are some clearly visible mistakes. Visual effects are not up to the mark which is a bad aspect considering it is not a regular masala film. Editing should have been better as the film can be shortened around 15-20 mins.
Except these, everything goes well for Sultan. The music is another plus point which has been cleverly put in the film. The background score is top notch.
Salman Khan has immersed in himself the soul of Sultan. It is definitely one of his career best performances. His transformation into Sultan is going to shock you big time. He brings out Sultan's vulnerability with charm and his passion with force. The actor will impress you with the work he has done on his physique. The dialogue delivery is okay however accent should have been more authentic.
Anushka Sharma has comparatively little but very important role to play. She looks pretty sans make-up and taking the role of a wrestler is a good plunge for her. She is specifically praiseworthy in a scene where she broke down emotionally.
Sultan is very much different from what Salman has done earlier. His stellar and never seen before performance makes it a good watch. It also has decent entertainment value. On this Eid, go for Sultan and you will not be disappointed.
Rating: 3/5
The film is going to open huge in all over India but the duration can be the problem for the audience on weekdays. It would have better if they chopped off 15-20 minutes to make it fast paced.

Meanwhile Bollyarena you said that you will watch every comment closely and abusive comment is not allow, then how can you allow comment of "Komal Nahi Nahata" at 11:07pm; he used criminal word for Salman, is it ok with you then please don't stop me when I say abusive word for Srk or Akki...

First half fine...second half boring....Lengthy movie... 3/5
390 cr. India and 125 abroad . Sultan will became blockbuster
390 cr. India and 125 abroad . Sultan will became blockbuster and Salman broke the record of Rjesh Khanna of most consecutive hits during 1969-1972
It's this a joke? Did u freaky give this film a 3?
Not because i am Salman fan.. But this is probably the best film made in a really long time!!! OUTSTANDINGGGG guys...
