We are done with the first half of the Salman Khan starrer Sikandar and the first half is an emotionally high octane ride. The entertainment quotient remains high with a fine balance of romance, action and emotions. Salman manages to shine especially in the emotional scenes showcasing a more vulnerable side to his performance.
The plot revolves around Sanjay Rajkot aka Sikandar (Salman Khan), the king of the Rajkot dynasty who is happily married to Saisri Rajkot (Rashmika Mandanna). However, despite their happy marriage, Sanjay is often unable to give her time due to his other commitments. On the other hand, he earns the ire of a politician Pradhan (Sathyaraj) after beating up his son Arjun (Prateik Babbar) inside a plane. When a tragedy turns his life upside down, Sanjay tries to redeem himself for not being there for his wife when he needed her the most. However, he comes face to face with his arch rivals in the process.
The first half quickly establishes the crux of the plot. From establishing Sanjay and Saisri’s relationship to an approaching hurricane in his life, the screenplay doesn’t waste time for the major events to unfold. However, some plotlines have some major loopholes and fall prey to some absurdity. While Sanjay and Pradhan’s rivalry might take the centre stage in the second half, it might make way for some loopholes and melodramatic performances.
