Salman Khan’s latest Eid release Sikandar, which also stars Rashmika Mandanna as lead actress, is making waves in cinemas across the world. The film has so far received a good response at the box office, but fans are disappointed with Bhai’s performance.
Bhai’s fans have enjoyed every frame and shot of Sikandar with some turning the theatre into a stadium during the ‘Zohra Zabeen’ song. However, the storyline hasn’t gone down well with cinema lovers. Some said Sikandar is the biggest disappointment of the year. The film sinks with Salman Khan’s worst performance, a lazy script, and an uncomfortable age gap with Rashmika Mandanna.
A netizen on the Twitter handle Filmy Mojo said Sikandar is a lifeless, disjointed film where even Salman Khan seems exhausted. “The scenes feel randomly stitched together, lacking any real connection…no actor truly fits their role, making the film a dull watch…forgettable experience.”
However, Sikandar will cruise through with Salman Khan’s mass appeal.

Piracy Gets To Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’
Before even hitting the cinemas, Sikandar fell victim to piracy. Salman Khan’s film was leaked before its much-anticipated theatrical release. Film critic Komal Nahta said producers had the authorities pull down Sikandar from 600 online platforms on Saturday night, but the harm had been done. “The multiplication continued and is continuing. Condemnable act which could cost the producer of the Salman starrer dear!”
A Salman Khan fan called out the pirates for their shameless act. “Shame on those circulating Sikandar piracy prints even before release. Fan wars are not an excuse for crimes, you’re not a fan, you’re a thief hiding behind a fan tag…remember when Salman Khan delivers #SikandarOnEid2025, it’ll be Eid Mubarak for theatres.”
