Sultan may have highly predictable screenplay but it has its own charm with brilliant performances and scenes.

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2016)

Sultan (2016): Salman Khan always reserves his movie's release date on Eid since Dabangg.Salman Khan is one of the rare heroes who didn't have any commercial failure in recent times.Last year he came with Bajrangi Bhaijaan on Eid which was a huge blockbuster and even acclaimed critically.Now he is back on Eid with Sultan,a sports drama film.
Plot: Sultan Ali Khan (Salman Khan),enters wrestling world because of his love Aarfa (Anushka Sharma),who is a state champion.Both of them fall in love and even acquires several medals and championships.But problems arise when Aarfa becomes pregnant at the time when they get selected for 2012 Olympics.Because of this Aarfa stays at home and Sultan participates in Olympics.After winning gold medal in Olympics, tragedy strikes which changes Sultan's life entirely and shows new hurdles of life.
Plus Points: 1)Performances: Salman Khan is getting better in his acting since Bajrangi Bhaijaan.In Sultan he is awesome and his hard work is truly needed to be applauded.But the major plus point is performance of Anushka Sharma.She gave wonderful commendable performance.Others also did their parts well.
2)Screenplay: Screenplay is both entertaining and inspirational.Though it follows typical sports drama style,it has its own charm.
3)Pre-Interval scenes: Pre-Interval sequence in Sultan is shocking and came as a surprise.It is truly a heart touching scene.
4)BGM: BGM is very good and perfectly apts for this movie.Song Rey Sultan as BGM gave perfect emotion for fight scenes
Minus Points: 1)Duration: Movie is 2hr50 min long.Some editing could have helped in second half of the movie.Unwanted song placement in second half is truly disturbing the flow.
2)Highly predictable: This movie is highly predictable as it has all typical sports drama scenes.But sports drama always inspires us.
3)Songs: Songs are just average.
So,Sultan may have highly predictable screenplay but it has its own charm with brilliant performances and scenes.
My rating 7.25/10
