Pehlwani or Kusti is a form of wrestling from South Asia. It was developed in the Mughal Empire by combining native malla-yuddha with influences from Persian koshti pahlavani. In this film, traditional Indian Kusti meets the world of MMA(mixed martial arts).
Plot of film: Sultan Ali Khan (Salman Khan) falls in love with Aarfa Hussain (Anushka Sharma), a state-level wrestler and the daughter of a local wrestling coach. Although she was initially cold towards him, Aarfa accepted Sultan as a friend. When he began to proclaim that she was his girlfriend, she rejected him by stating that she wishes to marry an accomplished wrestler like herself. Determined to win her respect, Sultan dedicated himself to intense training and ultimately wins a state-level wrestling tournament, as well as Aarfa's love.
The two are married and became recognized wrestlers, representing India in various international tournaments like the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games. When the two were announced as finalists for the Olympic Games, Aarfa discovered that she was pregnant. She gave up her childhood dream of winning an Olympic gold medal for India, which was then fulfilled by Sultan. To her surprise, Sultan's accomplishment made him arrogant, and he acted conceitedly during a press conference. Even though Aarfa informed him that she was nearing her due date, Sultan left to win another international wrestling championship.
Then an incident occurs that changes Sultan's life forever. You have to see the film to find out what happens. The film is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. He is well known for directing Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, and Gunday. Artur Żurawski is responsible for the excellent photography in the film, A native of the Baltic port city of Szczecin, he is a graduate of the Academy of Visual Arts in Poznań and the National Film School in Łódź. In 2014, he was the director of photography on the Indian crime thriller Mardaani, directed by Pradeep Sarkar, produced by Aditya Chopra, with Bollywood star Rani Mukerji in the leading role.
We have excellent music in the film Julius Packiam contributing the musical score and the duo Vishal-Shekhar handling the songs. Randeep Hooda makes an excellent short appearance in the film as Sultan's trainer. We have some real life MMA wrestlers in the film Tyron Woodley the most predominant of them.
Verdict: my eyes never left the screen from start to finish. I was lest thoroughly satisfied. There is a solid twist in the film which I couldn't predict. This is why I rate this film very highly. I am giving the highest rating possible because I am encouraging Bollywood to make more movies like these.
