Reviews

Sikandar received predominantly negative reviews upon release, reflected in its Rotten Tomatoes score of just 6%. Critics largely pointed to its predictable storyline and lack of character development despite Salman Khan’s intense performance. Rotten Tomatoes’ consensus stated: "While Sikandar aims for a powerful political drama, it falls short due to heavy-handed messaging and uneven pacing." IMDb ratings hover around a middling 4.5/10, with some users appreciating the action sequences but criticizing the script and dialogue. Metacritic assigned a low score, highlighting the film’s inconsistent tone and cliché-ridden plot. The Hindustan Times commented, "Though Salman Khan delivers his trademark charisma, Sikandar suffers from a clichéd narrative and weak supporting cast." Conversely, a few reviewers like Bollywood Hungama acknowledged the film's production values and music but warned that it fails to rise above genre conventions. Overall, Sikandar struggles to engage the audience fully, with its potential undermined by flawed execution.
