Sikandar Movie: Recently, all the top Bollywood heroes have been putting their market at risk by making films with the same commercial formula. Superhero Salman Khan is also on this list. Films like Radhe and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan did not receive much hit talk as they came with regular content. Tiger 3 did well at the opening due to the brand franchise, but it could not last long at the box office.
With this, comments started that Salman's brand value had decreased. Now, with the release of the trailer of Sikander, the discussion has started again. This time, doubts are growing about whether Salman Khan is preparing for a real test. If you look at the trailer itself, it is clear that this is coming with a mass regular commercial formula.
The smell of South films is clearly visible. A hero is driven by social feelings, a heroine who falls in love, family values, a strong counter to the villain.. All this looks like the packaging we have seen so far. Director AR Murugadoss has mixed action and emotion for his brand. But the novelty that he had in his previous films like Tukpi and Ghajini is not seen in this trailer.
In a way, there are comments that this feels like a remix of the story shades of the Tagore and Sarkar combination. Although Rashmika Mandanna and Kajal Aggarwal have tried to give some freshness to their hero introductions, they also seem to be going into a lover-boy-like shadow. Although Sathyaraj looks good as a villain, to be recognized as a strong and new-age villain, depends on the story itself.
However, the action blocks shown in the trailer should show Salman's belief in the story, not just the dialogue delivery. But it could not be completely convinced by the trailer. According to the response received so far, the reactions to the trailer are mixed. While the fans feel it as a pure mass film, the general audience is seen in the talk of "this is the same formula again".
In this context, the audience wants more content-based commercial films for Salman Khan. Based on the trailer, it can be said that Sikander is a risky experiment to test his stardom. Overall, this film should stand as an attempt to reset Salman's stamina. It has the potential to cash in on the Eid season. But if the content does not impress, the hype will decrease like the previous films.
