However, it failed to meet critics because of its deficient execution.ETimes reviewed the movie:“A Salman Khan movie is a genre in itself, and you know what to expect—gravity-defying action, larger-than-life heroism, and punchy dialogues. Written and directed by A.R. Murugadoss, this actioner checks all these boxes but suffers from an underwhelming plot and clichéd narrative. Sikandar is the expected righteous, brave, and invincible figure typical of both the genre and a Salman Khan massive Eid release.He saves 6,000 Dharavi residents by arranging their treatment, empowers a homemaker (Kajal Aggarwal), and helps a love-struck college girl. Amidst all this, he battles the minister’s henchmen.”“The predictable storyline is paired with a generic background score by Santhosh Narayanan. Kevin Kumar’s action direction is limited, with no jaw-dropping, extraordinary stunts to impress you. The few action sequences feel repetitive, with slow-motion shots, flying goons, and exploding cars. Salman Khan drives the film with his signature star power. He strives to deliver an emotional, action-packed performance, but the sluggish narrative holds him back, while throwing in some over-the-top dialogues like, ‘Ab insaaf ki nahi, inhe saaf karne ki zaroorat hai’.Rashmika Mandanna has a few scenes and some songs, but the problem is not that. Overall, she has a strong screen presence but doesn’t have much to perform or elevate the scenes she appears in. Vatsan Chakravarthi plays a corrupt cop and fits the role well. The surprise element is Sharman Joshi as Salman’s loyal aide—he holds his own opposite the superstar, delivering a restrained and impactful act.
