Sikandar Twitter Reviews: A Rollercoaster of Emotions for Salman Khan Fans
The much-anticipated Bollywood blockbuster Sikandar has hit the theatres, marking the superstar Salman Khan’s long-awaited return to the big screen. Directed by AR Murugadoss, this film has been a subject of intense discussion among audiences on social media channels like X (formerly Twitter). While some users celebrate the film for its star-studded lineup and high-octane action sequences, others express disappointment over its storytelling and execution.
The Mixed Audience Reaction
Social media is buzzing with diverse reactions as fans of Salman Khan voice their thoughts about Sikandar. One minute, praise pours in for the actor’s legendary on-screen charisma and Murugadoss’s directorial prowess. The next, critiques pinpoint a lack of coherent narrative, undermining the film’s appeal. As stated in Hindustan Times, words like “fantastic” and “forgettable” sit side by side in this vibrant swirl of audience opinions.
Twitter Demonstrates its Duality
The #Sikandar trend has brought a wave of commentary that captures the very essence of fan dialogue in today’s Bollywood cinema landscape. One post extols Khan’s performance as “larger than life,” while another grumbles about the “predictable and flat” screenplay. Both sides, however, agree on one thing: Salman’s entry scene is a classic testament to his unmatched swagger.
A Question of Script and Substance
While some fans are quick to dismiss the film as “superficial,” others resolve to focus on its redeeming qualities such as the action choreography and musical score. The film’s club scene, especially before the Holi song, seems to have left a lasting impression with its sharp execution and stylish visuals. Yet, as avid movie-goers point out, such moments fail to compensate for the outdated storyline and disconnected scenes.
The Economics and Emotions of Stardom
Despite opening as Salman’s first Eid release in two years, Sikandar hasn’t smashed box office records with its advance bookings, grossing a modest ₹10 crore on its opening day. Its commercial performance is contrasted against its contemporaries like Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan and Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava. The tepid financial start only adds to the movie’s complex narrative of divided reception.
A Loaded Cast Faces the Music
Sikandar aims high with its cast: Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, and Sathyaraj among Salman’s heralded entourage. Yet, despite the ensemble delivering competent performances, some social media users criticize the project for its expensive yet lackluster content, questioning the substantial investment in what some feel is a lackluster screenplay.
A Call to Reflect and Redirect
The film industry gears itself for frequent evaluations like those triggered by Sikandar, and it seems Bollywood aficionados relish every moment of such critique and praise exchanges online. At times inciting fierce loyalty, and at others provoking stark honesty, Sikandar leaves an indelible mark not only on the box office but also on the soul of every cinema lover ready to voice their truth in 280 characters or less.
