zeynabhoseiny1994 When you here an actor in his 50s chooses to play a role like this and go through all the physical pain to create such a masterpiece how on earth can you hate him. Salman khan was offered this role in his 40s but he chose to do it in his 50s to prove you can still be in shape at this age. Aside from what a wonderful man he is, the story is so beautiful. A simple man that chooses to become wresler for love and goes through such a beautiful journey along the way. Also strong female character in the movie. What else do u need to realize this is a must watch.
sagarchand Though movie gives lots of wrong messages, it is still fun to watch A young man who is in his twenty's.He has no aim in life.He has no passion in life.He is not serious about his life.He has no big dreams.One day, he see a girl wresting with male wrestlers and instantly fall in love with her. ( Love at first sight, Typical Bollywood!) They became friends. Girl thinks that they are just friends. Boy thinks they are lovers because that girl has spent one day with him on his bike! Girl says,"Love does not happen like this. Love happens when you respect somebody. When you see that someone has a unique quality that you don't have. I have a dream. I know what i want in life. You are just an aimless joker!" Obviously, now boy's ego is destroyed.He goes to her father's training center for wrestling and challenge 1 professional wrestler and loses against him. Now, he challenges his father that he will return after one month challenge his 3 wrestlers.He practiced very hard for one month, returns and beats 3 professional wrestlers in one try.(WRONG MESSAGE 1 : Take note that those 3 professional wrestlers are training for at least 20 years and this friend-zoned lover beats them after just one month of training.Highest insult to the professional wrestlers. ) Wait, Wait this is not over! Girl falls in love with him after this heroic victory! They get married! He does training for another 6 months and won Gold-Medals in every competition! Including Commonwealth games, Asian games, World Championship.Still, Our hero's heroism is not finished.Best part comes now!! That girl also done progressed in her career with her husband.She got pregnant! Her father told her that she destroyed her 20 years of training. Why didn't you control yourself.She answered that my love , my husband will fulfill my dream of winning Olympic medal. ( Indian people love when a female sacrifice something for her male! ) (WRONG MESSAGE - 2 : One girl who trained herself from childhood for her dream, can't imagine how many sacrifices she made in these 20 years to fulfill her one dream.And she is ready to give on all her hard-work, for what? To make someone a father! ( Really !) But, as i said this is what Indian people want to watch , this is what Indian writers want to write!)
Suman Shakya "Sultan" was one of the most awaited releases of 2016, owing to its stardom values and the success of "Bajrangi Bhaijaan." Technically the film is, no doubt, sound. The cinematography, music, special effects all are well done; but the film lacks much of substance, twists and turns in the story. Besides, the film is overlong and appears more an escapist melodrama which goes to easiness instead of an emotional depth.Salman Khan, with added weight, and Anushka Sharma, speaking Haryanvi, are the major attractions of the movie, who add the credibility to the film. Salman's get up is pretty well and he performs nevertheless good and Anushka Sharma, though in her regular image, still add some glamour in this overlong, deserted melodrama. Though the film gets dragging due to lack of shades in the story, the film does lack the regular Bollywood gimmicks or the unnecessary violence, for which the film still remains watchable. For me, the film was fine, technically it's good but story wise, it's dragging and overlong failing to weave a touching melodrama.Rating: 2 stars out of 4
indianature Apart from being a big time box office grosser, Salman Khan's Sultan released appropriately around the time when India's wrestlers won Olympic medals.I saw this film last night when the TV world premiere aired on Sony Max HD. My opinion prior to viewing was that it was probably yet another much hyped box office hit. I was indeed wrong.Sultan is a very good movie with an interesting and human story, superb acting, superb realistic sets and excellent cinematography. Even for those who aren't interested in wrestling. As with Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Salman Khan excelled himself. Anoushka and all the other actors were very good too.The music was pleasing, perhaps one too many songs though having said that, Salman Khan movies aim to give the ticket paying theatre goer full paisa vasool so one cant really grudge the extra song or two. If I had watched this on DVD I perhaps would have fast forwarded the songs. Given the number of ads, the film went on quite late on TV but thats a small price to pay for viewing on a large screen in full HD.All in all this was a very watchable movie, indeed a good movie. Keep it up Salman Khan!
