Here's what the Janta is saying about 'Sikandar,' starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, which hit theaters on March 30!
'Sikandar,'which released on March 30, is an action drama directed by A. R. Murugadoss and stars Salman Khan in the titular role of Sanjay 'Sikandar' Rajkot, the king of Rajkot.Alongside him, the film features Rashmika Mandanna as his wife, Saisri; Kajal Aggarwal in a supporting role; Sathyaraj as Minister Rakesh Pradhan; Sharman Joshi as Amar; and Prateik Babbar as Arjun Pradhan, the minister's son. The plot revolves around Sikandar, who becomes the target of Minister Pradhan after an altercation with his son. Following the tragic death of his wife, Saisri, whose donated organs save three lives in Mumbai, Sikandar finds himself compelled to protect these recipients from the vengeful minister.
Public reception for 'Sikandar' appears to be overwhelmingly negative, with many viewers expressing significant disappointment. They felt the film had a weak and poorly developed storyline, coupled with equally underdeveloped characters and an unmemorable villain. Many of them also highlighted the fact that the performance from the lead was rather underwhelming and poor. While some viewers noted a few promising moments in the first half, the general consensus is that 'Sikander' fails to deliver on its potential, ultimately resulting in a forgettable and, for some, an unconvincing cinematic experience.

#Sikander is a painfully average affair. But even that would’ve sufficed for me as the first half had some moments making it average. From interval to end this movie takes a nosedive and it feels random scenes joined together. A good concept but horrible execution. 2.5/5 🙏. pic.twitter.com/1vyQneVg68

#SikanderReview: A total waste of time! Weak story, predictable action, and zero impact. Even star power can’t save this mess. Skip it!

One word review: Gruesome
Very bad movie, action scenes are unconvincing and misplaced,it's happening without any valid storytelling, Salman is quite bad,the action scenes are ridiculous,the direction seems 90s style, should be a disaster.
Rating: 1* (⭐)
#SIKANDAR : UNBEARABLE. Outdated, dull, and a tiresome watch. Salman Khan delivers one of his most lackluster performances. The rest of the cast is wasted. Murgadoss's poor direction tests your patience from start till the end. A collosal misfire. Skip it 👎🏻👎🏻 #SikandarReview

One word = DISAPPOINTING.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️
Engaging in parts with some brilliantly executed sequences... Lengthy first half, uneven, slow-paced second half... Inconsistent writing is a flaw.
Final word? #Sikandar is a missed opportunity.#SalmanKhan 👎🤧 pic.twitter.com/YlxeXrBqmx
#SikandarReview - 3.5/5

Itni buri bhi nahi hain jitna log bol rahe hain, it was entertaining.
Editing me gadbad kardiya hai aur jaldbaazi me bana di hai film.
Bhai ko thode efforts daalne chaiye expected much better from him.
Songs are good.
Overall Decent Watch 👍#Sikandar https://t.co/uE8Dghkcj8
Sikandar feels like an average miniseries awkwardly stretched into a feature film.

Salman performs exceptionally well.
Murugadoss fell short both in direction and script.
A disappointing effort from a once reliable filmmaker. pic.twitter.com/45mPVBiI9a

It's a below average film.Story has no grip.Some scenes feel meaningless.Action sequences are not so https://t.co/9sQq7ENBQu is average.#SalmanKhan's acting is average and feels like he is not interested.
