Emotional + Action Extravaganza 💉💥
Direction Is Good, but Screenplay is so laggy. This movie will keep you hooked but in parts. Story is inspiring but outdated.
Action is damn stylised & Emotional Scenes will make u cry !

Theatres Witness a Frenzy of Applause
The film’s release has triggered a frenzy in cinemas, with enthusiastic audiences cheering and whistling during Salman Khan’s entry scene and gripping action moments. Early reviews point to Sikandar as a thrilling blend of adrenaline-pumping action, punchy dialogues, and emotional storytelling, making it a complete entertainer.
The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, with Rashmika Mandanna portraying the role of Saisri, marking her first collaboration with Salman Khan. Other key cast members include Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj as Minister Pradhan, Sharman Joshi as Amar, and Prateik Babbar.
Salman Khan unveiled a new poster for his upcoming film on Wednesday, announcing in the caption, “See you in theatres worldwide on 30th March! #Sikandar.”
Unconventional Approach to Release Sikander
This isn’t the first time the actor has taken an unconventional approach to a film’s release. In 2023, Tiger 3 premiered on a Sunday to coincide with Diwali. While the strategy sparked debate among trade analysts—some pointed out that it bypassed the pre-festival weekend’s box office momentum—others saw merit in the decision.
Rohan Malhotra, Vice President of Distribution at Yash Raj Films, acknowledged that while traditional release patterns are effective, unconventional timing can sometimes work in a film’s favor. In the case of Tiger 3, the team opted for a Laxmi Puja day release, despite it being a slower day for ticket sales, believing it would yield better long-term results.
Starring Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi alongside Salman Khan, Tiger 3 went on to gross over ₹280 crore at the box office.
