Surya
is
one
of
the
most
popular
Tamil
actors
in
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana
regions
and
most
of
his
film,
which
released
with
Telugu
versions,
have
become
big
hits
at
the
Box
Office
here.
Sikandar,
the
Telugu
version
of
his
latest
Tamil
film
Anjaan,
has
been
creating
positive
buzz,
ever
since
producer
Lagadapati
Shridhar
bought
its
dubbing
rights.
Its
music
and
promos
have
garnered
positive
response.
Sikandar
is
an
action
thriller
movie
with
all
other
commercial
ingredients
to
woo
the
mass
audience.
Surya'
electrifying
performance
is
the
main
highlight
of
the
film.
Lingusamy's
interesting
story
and
punch
dialogues,
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja's
trendy
music,
Santosh
Sivan's
brilliant
cinematography,
Samantha's
glamour,
superb
action,
dance
and
comedy
scenes
and
beautiful
costumes
and
locales
are
other
attractions
of
the
movie.
Lingusamy
has
written
a
routine
story
for
Sikandar,
which
is
all
about
guy's
search
for
his
brother.
But
he
has
spiced
it
up
with
commercial
ingredients.
The
movie
begins
with
a
simple
introduction
of
Surya.
The
first
half
of
the
film
has
a
few
romantic
and
funny
scenes
that
keep
you
engaged.
A
twist
at
the
interval,
the
movie
gains
momentum,
but
the
second
half
lets
you
down
with
its
boring
screenplay.
The
climax
is
predictable.
Kanya
Kumari
based
Krishna
(Surya)
comes
to
Mumbai
in
search
of
his
brother
Raju.
In
bid
to
find
clues
about
his
brother,
he
meets
Kadar
Bhai,
who
narrates
the
story
of
Raju
(Surya)
and
his
friend
Chandru
(Vidyut
Jamwal).
Things
start
falling
apart
between
the
two,
when
Raju
falls
in
love
with
commissioner's
daughter
(Samantha).
One
a
fine
day,
someone
attacks
on
both
Chandru
and
Raju.
What
happened
next?
Will
Krishna
be
able
to
find
his
brother?
Will
Raju
be
get
his
lady
love?
The
rest
of
the
story
answers
these
questions.
Surya
has
played
double
roles
in
Sikandar
and
he
has
done
justice
to
both.
He
rocks
the
viewers
with
his
sterling
performance.
Samantha
has
less
scope
for
performance,
but
she
impresses
you
with
her
glamourous
looks.
The
director
has
failed
to
use
talented
artistes
Brahmanandam.
Others
like
Vidyut
Jamwal,
Soori,
Rajpal
Yadav,
Manoj
Bajpai,
Dalip
Tahil
and
Murali
Sharma
have
done
justice
to
their
roles.
Chitrangada
Singh
and
Maryam
Zakaria
will
also
impress
you
with
their
special
appearances.
Sikandar
has
rich
production
values.
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja's
songs
and
background
score
are
main
attractions
in
the
technical
front.
Santosh
Sivan
has
done
brilliant
picturisation
and
his
cinematography
is
another
big
highlight
of
the
film.
The
choreography
of
action
and
dance
is
just
superb.
Other
technical
departments
have
delivered
commendable
jobs
in
the
film.
Overall,
Sikandar
has
brilliant
performances
by
lead
actors
and
sound
production
values,
but
it
lacks
an
interesting
screenplay.
The
movie
fails
meet
the
expectations
created
by
its
promos
before
its
release.
Blame
it
upon
Linguswamy.
It
may
fail
to
impress
even
Surya
fans.
Watch
it
on
your
own
risk.
