MUMBAI: As 'Sultan' celebrates its 8th anniversary, it stands tall as a testament to superstar Salman Khan's enduring appeal and cinematic prowess. Released in 2016, this blockbuster not only showcased Salman’s versatility but also captivated audiences with its compelling storyline and memorable characters.
At the heart of 'Sultan' is Salman Khan's portrayal of Sultan Ali Khan, a character whose journey from a humble background to becoming a wrestling champion resonated deeply with viewers. Khan's portrayal of Sultan's determination, personal struggles, and eventual redemption was both heartfelt and impactful.
Anushka Sharma's portrayal of Aarfa, Sultan's love interest, added depth to the narrative, highlighting their chemistry and the emotional core of the story. Audiences were drawn to their on-screen pairing, eagerly anticipating their reunion in future projects.
What set 'Sultan' apart was its authentic portrayal of wrestling, with intense MMA matches that were lauded for their realism. Khan's dedication to the role was evident in his physical transformation and rigorous training, which lent credibility to the character and the sport depicted on screen.
Beyond its action-packed sequences, 'Sultan' delved into themes of love, ambition, and the consequences of unchecked ego, resonating with viewers on a personal level. The film's success was further bolstered by its foot-tapping soundtrack and a stellar supporting cast that brought each character to life.
Eight years since its release, 'Sultan' remains a cherished film, celebrated for its compelling narrative, Khan's standout performance, and its enduring impact on Bollywood cinema.
The pain of losing a child and dealing with the personal turmoil is what largely is shown in the movie along with the rise and fall of Sultan and the indigenous story is what touched our hearts and surely Salman Khan was the perfect choice for the titular character of the movie. The chemistry between Sultan and his MMA coach Fateh Singh, played by Randeep Hooda was intense and electrifying. The raw wrestling scenes, the bloodbath were so authentic that it still gives us goosebumps.
Making each dance step from the songs of the movie a rage, Salman Khan still stands as a trend maker. ‘Baby ko Bass Pasand Hai’ and ‘440 volt’ are some of the most popular songs along with the title track of the movie and every dance step from these chartbusters is a trending hook step till date and all credit goes to Salman Khan for that.
As the movie completes 8 years today it is one of the few movies we hold close to our heart and can watch anytime of the day with our families of all age groups. The movie beautifully sends out the message on how important the concept of family and keeping your closed ones is needed and it acts as the building tile that binds the blood ties in a family.
