Salman Khan’s latest film Sikandar, which recently dropped on Netflix, is facing a huge backlash online. Fans and viewers alike have taken to social media, especially Twitter, to share their disappointment and some are not holding back at all. Many are calling it one of Salman’s worst films ever, with some even joking that he’s now broken a record for consistently picking bad movies.
The story, action, and overall execution seem to have fallen flat, and viewers were left wondering why a superstar like Salman would choose such a script.
This isn’t the first time Salman Khan has been criticized for choosing weak projects, but Sikandar seems to have hit a new low in the eyes of the audience. What’s surprising is that the movie had a big budget with production by the acclaimed Sajid Nadiadwala and a popular cast starring the likes of Rashmika Mandanna and Kajal Aggarwal alongside our main superstar. Yet it failed to connect with people. Most reactions online are sarcastic, with fans joking that even background noise would be better than watching the film.
With expectations so high before the release, the disappointment is even greater now. Sikandar left fans frustrated with a bad taste in their mouth.
Couldn't watch even 10 minutes of #Sikandar on #Netflix. #SalmanKhan should avoid picking such disastrous movies or consider seriously retiring from acting.
