Movie Review (Hindi)

Sultan

Hero of the masses, Salman Khan pulls it off once again with this movie.


Why did he pull it off? Well, the story follows the rise, fall and rise of a wrestler from Haryana and who does not love a story where odds are conquered by the underdog? 


But for me, what really stood out in the movie was the focus on wrestling as a sport, of women in this sport and also its international recognition.


Salman needs a good director and in Ali Abbas he found one. With romance, comedy, tragedy and drama thrown in for good measure within three hours in a well edited and well written story, there was bound to be but one outcome ---- a success!! (As usual the excesses were the songs which could have been edited.)


Looking forward to such entertainers...
