In recent years, various court heroine dramas have emerged one after another, and the plot of "Story of Yanxi Palace" is simple and straightforward, and the logic has too many unreasonable flaws, but why has it become a hit?
Because this show looks so cool.
Although the heroine has a low starting point and no background, but because she bears the halo of the protagonist, she hangs up all the way, happy and enmity, and there are noble people everywhere to help, and she can always turn bad luck into good luck.
Who wouldn't want to be such a protagonist?
It's a pity that the protagonist of this play is a woman, and it is difficult for men to have a sense of substitution, especially those middle-aged straight men who have a house, a car and a baby, and who are scolded to death by the boss and dare not resign, have only half their lives left after get off work. How can you have the energy to chase dozens of episodes?
Then spend more than two hours watching a cool movie "Sultan".
Because this Bollywood movie is the story of Yanxi Palace, shot from the perspective of a middle-aged straight man.
It was the highest-grossing film in India that year, and like "Story of Yanxi Palace", it was a super hit.

In order to pursue her, he decided to follow her dream - to become an Olympic wrestling champion.
So, with no wrestling foundation, he beat the three best wrestlers in Dad Alpha's wrestling hall after a month of hard training.
Two months of hard training, challenging wrestlers twice his weight, and winning the state wrestling championship.
Then he won the heart of the beauties and married Bai Fumei.
Fast paced? cool, right?
There are more cool ones in the back.
After that, Sudan won the Olympic wrestling championship.
After that, he won the world championship.
As he lifted the World Championships medal on the podium, his son was born.
Is this the pinnacle of life?
Later……
Sultan hit rock bottom.
His wife cut off contact with him, and he stopped his glorious wrestling career, became blessed and decadent, and lived in sorrow and repentance.
At this time, Queen Fucha appeared...
Oh no, it was the owner of the second-generation ancestor of a wrestling club that was on the verge of bankruptcy, persuading him to return to the arena.
In order to make his wife change her mind, and to realize his wishes over the past few years, Sultan has once again embarked on the road of counterattack.

Why do you say this movie is the story of Yanxi Palace for middle-aged straight men?
Because the male protagonist quit the wrestling world, after four years of silence, he has become a fat, greasy, middle-aged, dead fat man with no fighting spirit.
(Yes, it is you now.)
He has nothing and no chance of winning, but as long as he wants to, he can make all kinds of impossible possible.
(Yes, that's what you imagine yourself to be.)
So middle-aged straight guys, do you want to lose your belly, get back to the best shape of your life, and master the most advanced fighting skills in 6 weeks?
Do you want to have the world's top coach to train you, and then participate in the world's highest level of fighting competition, although every game is beaten to the death, but every game is narrowly won?
Do you want to have countless busty beauties at the Celebration Party, and will not sue you for sexual assault?
Do you want the whole world to cheer for you, to have a rich and beautiful wife again, and to be happy from now on?
Then watch a "Sultan".

Don't get me wrong, I'm not making fun of this movie.
Modern Bollywood movies, with beautiful pictures, innocent mentality, firm beliefs, have a kind of self-confidence that although I have analyzed the dark side to show you, I am still beautiful.
Therefore, even if it exposes various contradictions and ugliness in one's own country or life, it will give people positive energy for a brighter future.
Moreover, handsome men and women, singing and dancing, plus various small details of comedy, no matter how heavy the plot is, there is also a happy and peaceful atmosphere.
"Sultan" not only contains the above qualities, but also shows Indian traditional wrestling, international wrestling competitions, and international fighting competitions, and the game scenes are quite exciting.
The contestants showed off their strong male bodies, went into battle with nothing but the wind, punched to the flesh, thrilled and thrilled, and were very enjoyable.
The film is starring Indian national treasure actor Salman Khan.
With strong biceps and an inverted triangle figure, it is completely impossible to tell that he is a 53-year-old actor.
Apart from that, his acting skills are also quite superb.
The eyes change with the plot, wandering, affectionate, frivolous, sad, decadent, persevering, addicting and hard to extricate.
Especially when Sultan wanted to participate in a fighting match, but was denied by other investors in the club and laughed at by the coach, his reaction and expression were heart-wrenching.
Although he was silent at the time, but when he returned to the small room, took off his shirt, looked at his bloated and deformed figure in the mirror, and thought about the ethereal future, Sultan could not help crying.
I silently accompanied him to tears.
That kind of desolate feeling of powerlessness is really only experienced by middle-aged people. (MD I seem to be showing my age.)

However, the Sultan, our Indian Wei Yingluo, is invincible by his aura of protagonist.
All obstacles and opponents, who are his foils, must fall quickly because of him, without accepting any refutation.
So, even though he has been training for four years and has no experience with new fighting techniques, in just six weeks, he can meet gods and kill gods, and Buddhas and Buddhas.
Especially in the championship match, he had always been at a disadvantage, his ribs were broken, and he was severely in a coma, but a flash of chicken soup could make him, like a god, kill the opponent in one move.
This kind of plot is similar to Wei Yingluo's lightning strike, which kills Concubine Yu.
Yes, illogical, but so what?
What we want is to be passionate and happy, and what we want is to be in the mood of the protagonist Bei Ershuang!
Therefore, I recommend that if middle-aged straight men feel that life is too decadent, they should go and see "Sultan".
As if Chinese fans were watching the World Cup, paralyzed on the sofa holding their belly, drinking beer and eating barbecue, but they can imagine themselves as a world famous player who ran for 90 minutes on the green field and scored a hat-trick.
It is as if Chinese women are watching "Strategy of Yanxi Palace", although in life, mothers choose mates, nanny, widow, widowhood, widowhood, and widowhood, but they can imagine themselves in the world of big pig's hoofs, happy and enmity, and do whatever they want.
When middle-aged straight men watch "Sultan", they can imagine that they are facing this fucking world, no longer give up, no longer give in, punch out, and hit the key point of it.

It's a bit of a pity that the original version of the film was 170 minutes, and the imported version was cut to 139 minutes.
The SARFT lost 31 minutes, and the length of the film was reduced by nearly one-fifth.
Because of the aura of the male protagonist, his scenes should be basically retained, and the ones that have been deleted are most likely to be the singing and dancing parts and the female protagonist's scenes.
Although the heroine is also an Indian national treasure actor Anusuka Sharma.
Because of this, several changes in the heroine's attitude towards the hero always seem a bit abrupt.
But this is the male version of "Story of Yanxi Palace", and everything has to make way for the protagonist.
Even so, the peerless beauty of the heroine is also one of the reasons why I recommend middle-aged straight men to enter the theater.
The reason for deleting such a long length is that, on the one hand, Indian films have the practice of going on and off the scene, with breaks in between.
Therefore, the length of Indian films tends to be long, which is not very suitable for the national conditions of Chinese film viewing habits.
On the other hand, it is also to take care of the body of the middle-aged straight man.
After all, middle-aged straight men in China generally lack exercise and are weak, either because of kidney deficiency or back pain, or because of prostate problems.
Not to mention wrestling and fighting, just sitting in a chair for 139 minutes is already the limit of their physical strength.
