Just one month out from its release Sajid Nadiadwala has dropped another teaser of Sikander. Unlike the first one, this preview offered much more insight into what we can expect from the Salman Khan-starrer.
While we didn’t get many hints about the story, if the dialogues are anything to go by, the writing of the film seems terrible. The dialogues were so cringe that they could give Badass Ravikumar a run for its money.

A.R. Murugadoss, the writer of the film, is also the man behind another project, Madharasi, whose teaser was more promising. However, since we didn’t hear any dialogue in the Tamil film’s preview, this Sikander teaser has also thrown doubts over Madharasi’s writing.
Adding to the Cheesy dialogue, Salman’s delivery was even worse. The voiceover was so bland and emotionless that you can’t even make out what is being said at times.

This lethargic feel was prominent when we got a glimpse of the same lazy dance steps that we were used to expecting from him by now. Even action sequences are shot with Salman doing the minimal movement possible.
Starring alongside Salman is Bollywood’s new favorite heroine Rashmika in, what it seems, another one-dimensional role. We can only hope that she shows some more personality and depth than her previous performances.

The background music by Santhosh Narayan was one of the major saving grace of the 80-second teaser. While there is a high chance it could be a blockbuster just on the back of Salman’s name, the teaser would be disappointing for a neutral audience.
Also, going by the trailer, Sikandar’s story looks similar to Sarkar and a bit of Ram Charan’s recent disaster Game Changer. The political aspect of the story bears some resemblance with those films.
Let’s hope this much-awaited return of the Nadiadwala-Salman partnership gives us something better than what is being shown. It could be one of those instances when the movie is greater than its preview.
