Story
The film follows Sanjay (Salman Khan), who risks his life to protect individuals who received his late wife’s organs. While the premise blends social issues like feminism and environmental activism with action, the execution falters due to a predictable screenplay and lack of emotional depth.

Movie Review
Critics have labeled Sikandar as one of Salman Khan’s weakest films in recent years. The story’s attempt to merge social messaging with high-octane action falls flat, with uneven pacing and underdeveloped characters. While Rashmika Mandanna’s performance stands out, the film heavily relies on Salman’s star power, which fails to salvage the weak narrative.
Movie Rating
- IMDb: (3/5) Praised action but criticized storytelling.
