Bolly.id -  Salman Khan returns to the Bollywood scene after two years with his latest movie, Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss. The film begins with Sanjay Rajkot ( played by Salman Khan), who is on a flight. A minister's son named Arjun Pradhan (played by Prateik Babbar) is in the same flight who tried blackmailing a former porn actress. He threatened to show her videos to her son if she didn't have sex with him on the spot. The porn actress had to succumb to his threats. Rajkot witnesses the scene going on. When Pradhan sat beside the porn actress, Rajkot came to her rescue, beat Pradhan, and took a video of him apologizing to the porn actress. 

Pradhan's father filed a complaint to the police, who tried to arrest Rajkot. The police went to his house only to be greeted by Rajkot's wife, Saisri Rajkot (played by Rashimika Mandanna). Saisri tells them that Rajkot has gone to the police station to meet them. The police make a move to leave. Saisri tells them that her car will drop them off at the station. The police were baffled; Saisri told the police to take a peep outside through the balcony; the police saw thousands of people standing in support of Rajkot. They destroyed the police car. 

Rajkot gave his statements in the police station. As he left, thousands of people waited outside to know the result of Rajkot's visit. He returns home, greets his wife, and goes back his to work. Saisri loved Rajkot so much, but he didn't give her time. Unknown to him, she always protected him. On one occasion, they receive a call that one of their employees was targeted to be imprisoned so Rajkot would be sued.  Rajkot went to check out the area. He tells Saisri to stay home, but she follows him. She saw her husband near a place with explosives and called him to stand by her side. The place exploded, and she was hit by shrapnel. Rajkot didn't see and told her to go home because he had to attend to his men. His staff accompanied her. A few minutes later, Rajkot gets a call that his wife is in the hospital and hurt. He tells his staff to take care of her. An hour later, he was told she had passed away, pregnant. What happens after this is a must-see. 

Director Murugadoss's direction transforms an action-packed movie into an excellent film that captivates viewers. He presents a unique perspective on a love story, and the movie ultimately becomes a heartwarming tale. . He touched on a couple of social issues, such as sexual harassment, organ donation, and environmental pollution. 
Funny, though, Holi is over, and Muradoss featured a song about Holi. However, it would have been better if the script had been tightened.

Khan's performance was, as usual, excellent. His presence in the film left viewers in awe. His age is showing, though.  The difference of age with his co-star Rashika Mandanna could be visible. Mandanna, as Saisri admitted in one of the scenes, there is a big age gap between her and Rajkot. 

Mandanna's performance was mediocre. Her acting prowess needs to be polished. This could be due to her role, which didn't require a lot of emotions. 

If you want to experience a different kind of movie, then Sikandar is a must watch.
Bolly.id rates this move with three achas! 
ACHA, ACHA ACHA.
