This movie has some moments

Rating: 6/10 (6 July 2016)

As director Mr. Ali Abbas Zafar work is good. As a writer his story is good, screenplay is routine and dialogues are average. First half is very slow and lengthy. Love scenes are just routine. Sultan rising as a top wrestler from a common guy, does not looks very exciting in first half, even world wresting championship match looks very hurried. Film starts taking grip in second half especially after Sultan first Pro Tech free style fight. Choreography of all these matches are core strength of movie, especially first and second match. The reason behind husband wife rift should have been established well then emotional quotient will be of high order. It looks something missing in it. A girl, whose dream was just to win medal in international match, then she shifts her dreams happily towards his husband after getting pregnant but when an incident happened just mainly due to medical complexity but she totally accuses his husband for this because he was not with her when he was out of India and fighting word championship. He even wins gold medal. In climax fight the way glimpses of Sultan comes in front of him as if he is fighting with his ego and negativity which leads to victory is good. Performance wise Salman Khan as Sultan is very good even in few emotional scenes. Anushka Sharma is good. Actor who played, Govind, Sultan's friend is impressive. He is balanced throughout his performance. Randeep Hooda is fine. Amit Sadh as Aakash is OK. Music by Vishal-Shekhar and lyrics by Irshad Kamil, are good. "Jag Ghoomya Tere Jaisa Na Koi' is very melodious while 'Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai' is peppy one.
