Good movie, worth seeing

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2016)

Apart from being a big time box office grosser, Salman Khan's Sultan released appropriately around the time when India's wrestlers won Olympic medals.
I saw this film last night when the TV world premiere aired on Sony Max HD. My opinion prior to viewing was that it was probably yet another much hyped box office hit. I was indeed wrong.
Sultan is a very good movie with an interesting and human story, superb acting, superb realistic sets and excellent cinematography. Even for those who aren't interested in wrestling. As with Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Salman Khan excelled himself. Anoushka and all the other actors were very good too.
The music was pleasing, perhaps one too many songs though having said that, Salman Khan movies aim to give the ticket paying theatre goer full paisa vasool so one cant really grudge the extra song or two. If I had watched this on DVD I perhaps would have fast forwarded the songs. Given the number of ads, the film went on quite late on TV but thats a small price to pay for viewing on a large screen in full HD.
All in all this was a very watchable movie, indeed a good movie. Keep it up Salman Khan!
