The story is old-fashioned, similar to ordinary sports and hero movies. The protagonist has experienced three transitions from peak to loneliness to rise. The emotional story will add the harmony of love, affection and friendship to match the character's own self-defense and struggle. The emotional transition in this movie is very delicate and convincing. Sultan, who is not motivated, learns to wrestle in pursuit of the girl Aarfa, was conquered by Aarfa's independent female personality and found his own life goal. This process is not flat and straightforward, and the emotional process between Sultan and Aarfa is not like a normal Indian movie, but has twists and turns. From a novice to a pinnacle, Sultan has experienced a turning point in his mind due to arrogance and over-ambitiousness. Because of the lack of a good balance between career and family, it eventually led to the breakdown of relationships and the burial of self. The story uses flashbacks to first show us Sultan in self-buried. In the process of rising, Sultan's self-breakthrough and challenges are gradual, and the restoration of Aarfa's feelings is also gradually strengthened. There is no sudden move or recombination, and there are obvious struggles. Therefore, the emotional description in this movie is a bright spot, which can be distinguished from the brilliance of general themed movies. In other words, "Sultan" can be said to be a good balance between sportsmanship and love story.
The most burning passage in the film should be the one where Sultan resumes training. The transition is fast and delicate, and the transition is naturally not procrastinated. Salman's hard concentrated training and strengthened muscles increase the effect of blood ejection in this section. Several free wrestling matches are very interesting. Suttan wrestling is exciting. The action scenes in Salman's movies have always focused on blood and style, which is very inflammatory. Salman had emotional eyes in movies when he was young. In recent years, action movies have shot more beast eyes to interpret more. The only flaw is reasonableness: 3 months of training to become a local wrestling champion and even representative to attend the Olympics; another few months of training quickly regained physical fitness and transformed into a free wrestler; 40-year-old man defeated the final opponent with a broken rib, etc. These plots are quite unrealistic and unconvincing, but since they are also interpretations, they do not consider the reality and only pursue the spirit of fighting, and they do not need to be too deep. One of my favorite snippets is the phrase the coach said to Sultan, "People often think that the hero who wins is the hero, but the one who loses is the real hero, because only he understands the meaning of victory." This is not just sublimation. In addition to sportsmanship, he also touched on the question of the emotional line: Sultan, who has lost his family, understands the meaning of family and love better. It is more meaningful than the conventional Slogan of "the biggest enemy is actually oneself".
In addition to emotional themes and sportsmanship, a breakthrough point of this film lies in the discussion of the contradictory topics of women's independence, the family of men and women in the new era, and the balance of family career. In an environment where men are inferior to women, Aarfa's pursuit of self-worth and her challenge to Sultan machismo reflect the rise of Indian women in the new era. Aarfa's pursuit of career and the sacrifice of career and dreams because of the family, compared with Sultan's always 0 or 1 choice in career and family, discusses the difference between the choices of men and women in modern society where the double pressure of career and family is increased. In the end, the happy ending of Aarfa's return to business and Sultan's return to the family put forward no good prospects. Both men and women of the family must work together to resolve these contradictions and respect each other's dreams, and work as a team will lead to a happy ending. In this regard, "Sultan" is deeper than the general story that simply emphasizes sports fighting spirit and self-defeating.
Anushka, who plays Aarfa, has a good temperament, strong and independent with feminine tenderness. Salman is still hard and soft. Compared to Shah Rukh Khan and Amir Khan, he is always judged as having no acting skills. The other two are indeed better than Shah Rukh Khan and Amir Khan. From the awards and public praise, the other two are better, but Salman can be seen. The escalating state of interpretation, especially in recent movies, has chosen more characters with deeper and richer emotional levels, which can make people see a gradually mature and stable performance. The new movie "Tubelight" looks at the poster as an action movie, but watching the recently released set photos seems to be a literary movie again, wait and see.
Singing and dancing have been very restrained. Although the song is very good, I still hope that it can be reduced and then reduced. I don't want Indian movies to completely lose this national characteristic, but it is best to have less and more refined. In fact, the most interesting point in this movie is that it shows the national pride of Indians, such as the direct description of "Indian players defeating foreign players in the ring". Many people criticize the two points of Indian movies, such as singing and dancing and opening and closing action scenes, and even make fun of them, but this is actually a manifestation of Indians' pride in their own nation and country and their wish for a strong nation. This is the same thing as we like to see the "Sick Man of East Asia" plaque. I think the simple and simple pride of the Indians is directly cute.
