Bollywood has been increasingly turning to South Indian directors to deliver blockbuster hits, a trend that has yielded success for many. Following this pattern, superstar Salman Khan teamed up with acclaimed South filmmaker AR Murugadoss for Sikandar, hoping to recreate the magic. However, the decision seems to have backfired, as the film failed to strike a chord with the audience.
Released on the occasion of Eid, Sikandar carried high expectations, with many anticipating a gripping commercial entertainer. However, Murugadoss delivered a formulaic social drama that felt outdated and predictable. While South directors like Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Atlee Kumar have been redefining commercial cinema with massive hits, Murugadoss struggled to adapt to the evolving trends.
The film opened to mixed reviews, with criticism mainly directed at its weak writing and uninspired execution. Murugadoss’ directorial approach, once known for its sharp storytelling, seemed outdated, failing to leave a lasting impact. Even Rashmika Mandanna, who played the female lead, couldn’t make a strong impression.
With the audience expecting fresh narratives and innovative storytelling, Sikandar turned out to be a disappointment, proving that big names alone aren’t enough to guarantee success in today’s dynamic cinema landscape.
