Sulthan review: Karthi headlines a highly predictable but fun action drama

Sulthan movie review: karthi stars in bakkiyaraj kannan’s new film that borrows heavily from films such as thevar magan and maharshi..

Bakkiyaraj Kannan’s Sulthan (not to be confused with Salman Khan’s Sultan) is what you get when you take popular selling points from a few highly successful and celebrated commercial films and package it in a way that you aren’t disappointed even when most of what you watch unfold on the screen feels very familiar.

Karthi plays Vikram aka Sulthan, a robotics engineer. Sulthan’s father (played by Napoleon) plays a do-gooder, a messiah with an army of rowdies (nearly 100 of them) at his disposal. When a new police commissioner vows to make the city crime-free, he comes after the gang managed by Sulthan’s father with the intention of bumping them in an 'encounter'. Sulthan intervenes and requests for an opportunity to reform the rowdies but the process isn’t as easy as he had envisioned. Does Sulthan succeed in reforming the rowdies forms the crux of the story.

Watch trailer for Sulthan:

From Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar to Mahesh Babu’s Maharshi and Kamal Haasan’s Thevar Magan; Sulthan borrows heavily from these films. Sulthan’s effort to reform the rowdies via farming is a plot point very similar to what Mahesh Babu chooses to do in Maharshi (he leaves everything and takes up farming for his best friend). Karthi’s effort to make people give up their hooligan ways at the cost of his own life is very similar to what we saw in Thevar Magan. In spite of borrowing from quite a few films, Sulthan still manages to engage and entertain, making it a highly predictable but fun action drama.

The film stands out for its action choreography. Few of the action stretches deliver an engaging experience. However, the film hardly makes any impact with its storytelling or characters. Except Karthi’s character, no other actor gets a meaty part to essay. Rashmika, in her maiden appearance in Tamil cinema, is mostly sidelined and so are the actors who play the lead antagonists. Sulthan is Karthi’s show all the way and he’s in his element, shining in a character he couldn’t have played any better.

Sulthan is your quintessential commercial action film that panders to the gallery and is mostly engaging, thanks to the over-the-top treatment and packaging.

Review by Michael James ★★★

A paisa vasool masala action entertainer, modern rehash on the lines of seven samurai/ Mahabharata which is good for most of its parts. The story, its justifications, emotions work really well, but the screenplay is what lets it down at times. Karthi charms with his screen presence as always. It’s his show throughout. Rashmika has nothing much to do. Personally enjoyed the Bheem Boi kinda character. Wish he had much more to do.  Every other character played their respective roles well. Technically the movie is strong, be its cinematography, songs, raging bgm, performances, well choreographed action stunts. To round it up, Sulthan is a watchable masala entertainer which had the possibility to be a rock solid one.

Review by jack ★★½ 1

Vivasayam pandra bundamavane but with broad cinematography, dope-ass music and weird wakanda shit.

Review by Adithiyan Curioser ★★★ 2

" Sambavam Seiyum velaiya Ellam Anjaaru Vaaram Othi Podu." If the first half has been made into a whole story this could have been a good masala entertainer. But unfortunately they ropped in a Corporate Criminal from Vivasayamverse which made it miserable. One spoon Srimanthudu + One bowl Maharishi + Eight Containers of Tamil Vivasayamverse Movies + Seven Samurai = Sulthan. As the movie name is Sulthan, we're getting a Wrestling scene too (Big Brain Time)

Still, a better movie than Nenjam Marapathillai!

Review by Baradwaj Rangan Unofficial

A generic ‘mass movie’ that could have been so much more

Review by Deepak Chazhoor ★★★

The Godfather / Thevar Magan  meets Seven Samurai/ Sholay  meets Kaththi/ Maharshi .

Karthi is a talented actor and has the much needed mass appeal to perform in action-oriented roles in commercial masala entertainers. But still, it is sad to see the actor being typecast in the same character ever since Paiyaa  ( Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru  is an exception though).

Sulthan  is watchable. Not bad. Not great either. That’s it.

P. S.  Rashmika Mandanna is not annoying here for a change.

Review by 𝗡 𝗜 𝗞 𝗛 𝗜 𝗟 🍿 ★★★

Vikram a.k.a Sulthan (Karthi) is born and grown amidst a group of goons who work for his father. His father dies just when he is about to embark on an ambitious career and he is forced to look after and reform his father’s henchmen who are more like family to him now. 

The core plot of this film has shades of several Telugu and Tamil films like Srimanthudu (2015) , Khaleja (2010) , Mirchi (2013) , Aravinda Sametha (2018) , Bhoomi (2021) , Maharshi (2020) , Sandakozhi (2005) and so on. Director Bakkiyaraj Kannan is very clear that it’s his presentation and different perspective towards this story which is going to make this cliched script work. 

Karthi is good in his role and he is proving…

Ellu vaya pookalaye, climaxla avengers endgame'nu kooda paakalaye...

Review by Vicky R ★★★

Sulthan is a tailor-made mass masala film for Karthi, who effortlessly excels in both the action and emotional beats. Rashmika Mandanna makes her Tamil debut, although her character isn’t well-written; she fulfills her role. Among the 100's of extras standing as the pillars for Sulthan, Lal stands out with his notable performance, while Sentrayan, Arjai, and Kamaraj also leave their mark.

Unfortunately, the comedic elements doesn't land well, with Yogi Babu's humor falling flat. The villains, including the KGF antagonist and the generic corporate villain, come off as cliched and uninteresting.

On the technical front, Sathyan Sooryan’s cinematography is impressive, particularly the lighting in the climax. Vivek Mervin’s songs and U1’s background score were decent. The direction by Bhagyaraj Kannan(who…

Review by ashokk ★★½ 1

Decent mass masala entertainer தந்தையோட இறப்புக்கு அப்பறம் அடிதடி பண்ணிட்டு இருக்க உடன்பிறவா சகோதரர்கள ஹீரோ திருத்தி நல்ல வழிக்கு கொண்டு வரதுதான் கதை.

Good 1st half Avg 2nd half

கார்த்தி படத்த தனி ஆளா தாங்குறாரு👌 ராஷ்மிகாவுக்கு ஒகேவான கேரக்டர். யோகி பாபு 4,5 scene வந்து காமெடினு மொக்க போட்டுட்டு திடீர்னு காணாம போயிடுறாரு. உடன்பிறவா அண்ணன்கள்ல ஒரு 4 பேர் தவிர மனசுல யாரும் நிக்கல. யுவன் BGM மாஸ் இடங்கள்ல கொஞ்சம் கைகொடுக்குது🔥. சில இடங்கள்ல இஷ்டத்துக்கு வாசிச்சு தள்ளி இருக்காரு.

ஹெவியான தெலுங்கு படங்களோட மசாலா வீசுனாலும் இரண்டாம் பாதில ஒரு கட்டம் வரைக்கும் படம் பார்க்கற மாதிரி நல்லா போச்சு👍. அதுக்கப்பறம் தொய்வு ஏற்பட்டு முக்கியமா கடைசி அரைமணிநேரம் படம் படுத்துடுது👎 ஒரு முறை பார்க்கலாம்.

Review by Jaya ⛪🎄🇵🇸 ★½

sometime around 2014, all kollywood directors decided to start orgasming over "poor farmers vs vadakku corporates" concept and they've destroyed commercial tamil cinema as we knew it.

Review by Selva ★★

The film has some good sort of premise for a good masala movie but literally weakened by the poor treatment in the latter half.The first half has issues with its phase,nevertheless it's pretty entertaining with humour,action,love and emotional moments.Whereas the second half is dragging and also more of clichéd portions with the farmers issue,unwanted songs and weak villain's character sketch.

Sulthan is a mix of various tamil films and more of clichés but with Karthi's entertaining performance atleast makes this an average watchable masala pot-boiler.

Review by Barry Egan 2002 ★★½

An incoherent Masala entertainer that never really becomes the epic it strives to be. Farming sequences and dummy corporate villain spoil the second half and the film. Sumaar.

Sulthan 02/Apr/2021 Action, Love

Critics Review

When karthi's attempt at becoming kgf's rockybhai failed.

Directed by Remo fame Bakiyaraj Kannan, Sulthan is an action-packed commercial film that reminds you of multiple other films that fall under the same genre. The underlying intent of the story might be novel but the narrative's strategy to exploit stereotypes makes it a tiring watch. (more)

Source: Meera Chithirapaavai , MovieCrow

Karthi's film suffers from confused messaging with a dash of masala

Without a strong moral core, Sulthan neither evokes empathy nor inspires respect for what the film's protagonist stands for (more)

Source: Ranjani Krishnakumar, Firstpost.com

Sulthan is a solidly written, immensely satisfying masala movie

The writing keeps hooked despite the story's arcs being familiar. Every sub-plot helps to take the narrative forward. Take the romantic track between Sulthan and Rukmani (Rashmika Mandanna, who makes a charming debut). In addition to lightening the mood and acting as a relief between the heavier scenes, it also gives the reason for Sulthan and his 'annans' to stay in the village that they have come to protect. (more)

Source: M Suganth, Times Of India

Karthi's action drama exceeds expectations

The film's high production values and strong emotional beats makes it an engrossing watch. Director Bakkiyaraj Kannan's solidity expands on the belief that men are naturally good. The seasoned criminals who make the entire city shiver are powerless in front of Sulthan. They don't raise a finger even when Sulthan pushes them around. The film also tracks the inner journey of the protagonist who learns that he can�t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs. (more)

A satisfying action packed family entertainer

The first half of the film is quite engaging but with the arrival of a corporate villain, the film becomes slow. He looks more like a caricature and is a major letdown. The powerful climax compensates for all the flaws. Technically, Yuvan Shankar Raja's goosebumps-inducing background score enhances the action sequences while the songs of the Vivek-Mervin duo are enjoyable. (more)

Source: Moviebuff, Sify.com

Rowdies turn farmers

Sulthan follows a template narrative of a hero turning a saviour and protecting a village from powerful, greedy villains. Even though the �rowdies turning farmers� concept is interesting, the lack of a strong antagonist dilutes the story�s strengths and the protagonist�s heroism to a great extent. That said, Sulthan also has ample doses of action and hero elevation scenes to satisfy Karthi fans. You may watch the movie for its well choreographed action sequences and Karthi�s power-packed performance. (more)

Source: 123 Telugu Team, 123telugu.com

Karthi lights up this mostly fun entertainer

Despite this, the film is a roaring entertainer. Much of the credit goes to an impeccably in form Karthi. He brings together the right amount of comedy, emotional and mass moments. Mansoor Bhai (Lal), Sethupathi�s second-in-command and Sulthan have an endearing relationship. Lal and Karthi have great on-screen chemistry, adding humanity to the usual Tamil cinema representation of people branded as rowdies. (more)

Karthi headlines a highly predictable but fun action drama

Bakkiyaraj Kannan's Sulthan is what you get when you take popular selling points from a few highly successful and celebrated commercial films and package it in a way that you aren�t disappointed even when most of what you watch unfold on the screen feels very familiar. (more)

Karthi shines as Sulthan, a watchable commercial entertainer for the mass audiences.

Sulthan could have been a lot better if the characters other than Karthi had been fleshed out well. It could have also done away with the clich�s because of the potential the premise held. Overall, Sulthan will appeal to the mass audiences who enjoy solid commercial flicks. (more)

SULTHAN (TAMIL) MOVIE REVIEW

கார்த்தி நடிப்பில் பாக்கியராஜ் கண்ணன் இயக்கியுள்ள திரைப்படம் சுல்தான். ராஷ்மிகா மந்தனா, லால், யோகிபாபு உள்ளிட்டோர் முக்கிய கதாபாத்திரங்களில் நடித்துள்ளனர். ட்ரீம் வாரியர்ஸ் நிறுவனம் தயாரித்துள்ள இத்திரைப்படம் நேரடியாக தியேட்டர்களில் வெளியாகியுள்ளது.

பிறக்கும் போதே தாய் இறந்து போக, முரட்டுத்தனமான ரவுடி அடியாட்களால் வளர்க்கப்படுகிறார் சுல்தான் (கார்த்தி). சுல்தானின் பேச்சுக்கு அனைவரும் கட்டுப்பட, அவரோ, ஒரு கட்டத்தில் அடியாட்கள் கையில் இருந்த கத்தியை முற்றிலும் களைய நினைக்கிறார். அதே நேரத்தில் விவசாயம் செய்ய முடியாமல் கார்ப்பரேட்களால் தவித்து கொண்டிருக்கும் ஊர் பிரச்சனையையும் கையில் எடுக்கிறார். இறுதியில் இவை இரண்டும் என்னவானது என்பதே சுல்தானின் மீதிக்கதை.

சுல்தானாக கார்த்தி படத்தில் ஒன் மேன் ஷோ காட்டுகிறார். ஆட்டம், பாட்டம், சண்டை என பொழுதுபோக்கு திரைப்படத்திற்கான கம்ப்ளீட் பேக்கேஜ்க்கு கேரண்டி கொடுக்கிறார். வழக்கம் போல அவருக்கு எளிதாக வரும் ஹியூமர் ஏரியாவிலும் கைத்தட்டல்களை அள்ளுகிறார்.

ராஷ்மிகா மந்தனா கிராமத்து பெண்ணாக அழகில் குளிர்ச்சி காட்டுகிறார். நடிப்பிலும் கூட அதே துருதுறுப்பை காட்டி ரசிக்க வைக்கிறார். மலையாள நடிகர் லாலுக்கு கனமான கதாபாத்திரம். அதில் எந்த குறையுமின்றி கலக்கியுள்ளார். யோகிபாபுவின் கவுண்டர்கள் பல இடங்களில் க்ளாப்ஸ்க்கு கை கொடுக்கின்றன. மேலும் ரவுடிகளாக நடித்திருக்கும் நடிகர்கள், படத்திற்கு கூடுதல் பலம். எனினும் இரண்டு வில்லன்களுமே வலுவில்லாமல் இருக்கின்றனர். கொஞ்சம் கூடுதல் தெலுங்கு வாசனையுடன் படத்தை அணுகியிருக்கிறார் இயக்குநர்.

விவேக் – மெர்வின் இசையில் பாடல்கள் கவனிக்க வைக்கின்றன. பின்னணி இசையில் ஆக்ஷன் காட்சிகளுக்கு கூடுதல் மெருகேற்றுகிறார் யுவன் ஷங்கர் ராஜா. சத்யன் சூரியனின் கேமராவும் ரூபனின் எடிட்டிங்கும் டெக்னிக்கலாகவும் சுல்தானை உயர்த்தி பிடிக்கின்றன. ஃபைட் மாஸ்டர்களின் வொர்க் வேற லெவல். அதிலும் அந்த இடைவேளை சண்டைக் காட்சி அமர்களம்.!

ரெமோ மூலம் அறிமுகம் கொடுத்த பாக்கியராஜ் கண்ணன், பெரிய ஹீரோக்களுக்கான படம் பண்ணுவதில் தேர்ச்சி காட்டுகிறார். 100-க்கும் மேற்பட்ட நடிகர்களை கொண்டு வேலை வாங்கியதில், நிச்சியம் இயக்குநரை பாராட்டியாக வேண்டும்.

முதல் பாதியில் புதிய களத்தில் தொடங்கும் கதை, அடுத்தடுத்து நமக்கு தெரிந்த, பழக்கப்பட்ட கமர்ஷியல் ஏரியாவில் பயணிப்பது மைனஸ். இரண்டாம் பாதியில் இன்னும் கூட அதிரடி காட்டாமல், மேம்போக்காக அமைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் திரைக்கதை வேகத் தடை போடுகிறது.

The movie unfolds the story of Sulthan, born into a goon family. On the day of his birth, a group of rowdy’s attacks both his father and mother, but the mother gets saved by his father and by his family goons. Sadly due to the complications at the delivery, Sulthan’s mother dies, Sulthan is born and from his childhood, he was taken care of by his father’s goons. Sulthan never treated the goons badly he always considers everyone as his brother. After completing his robotic engineering Sulthan makes his return to his hometown to spend his vacation. One day a group of farmers comes to visit Sulthan’s father one requesting to help them from a notorious criminal who used to threaten them and illegally holds their land. Sultan’s father decides to help them and also promised them that their land will be returned and the criminal will be executed. Suddenly one-day Sulthan’s father gets attacked by some unknown rowdy’s and during the encounter, his father dies. Mansoor a senior member among the goons decides to leave to the village with others to keep the promise of Sulthan’a father. During this time the city commissioner who conducts the encounter mission makes the target kill all the goons in the city. Sulthan talks to the commissioner and pleads that he can change the life of his goons, he promised the commissioner that he takes the responsibility on that they won’t be any-more conducting any sort of criminal activities, thus commissioner was convinced and demanded that if any sort of cases arises in their name severe actions will be taken. Importantly during all these incidents, his father’s promise was not disclosed to Sulthan. So Sulthan with his goons leaves to the village for marriage but after his visit, some unexpected situations come to his path, will be able to keep his promise and will the goons be able to accomplish Sulthans fathers last promise. The rest of the story unfolds these incidents in a combined track of actions, romance, humour and sentiments. 

Sulthan is directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan who previously made the hit film Remo. The movie is produced by S. R. Prakash Babu and. R. Prabhu under the banner Dream Warrior Pictures. Along the direction, Bakkiyaraj Kannan also handles the story, screenplay and dialogues. The movie has the casting of Karthi and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles and joins along with Lal, Napolean, Yogi Babu, Ponvannan, Nawab Shah and Ramachandra Raju joins as the supporting cast. The music for the film is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja and cinematography and editing is performed by Sathyan Sooryan and Ruben respectively. The film comprises 149 minutes with a UA Censor Certificate. 

Let’s divide the positives and negatives; what I liked about the movie is its making, the performance of every actor and the technical division. What I don’t like about the film is its story, screenplay and the music department, now let’s elaborate to some extremes. The direction of Bakkiyaraj Kannan for making a mass masala movie is evident, as a person who has the head behind the story and screenplay he hasn’t won to implement the package successfully. The direction is passionate, no doubt but the fully devoted commitment was seen less mainly on the writing, to be precise especially on the screenplay. The story is something that we have witnessed before, some sort of elements is added but everything from the beginning till the end is predictably high. This predictability is the central issue, the twist and turns in the plot is massively readable which makes the viewing experience a bit dull but not fully. The climax was just exactly what I thought also some clichés are filled with overdramatic sentiments. Looking into the direction Bakkiyaraj Kannan proved his excellence, to make a mass masala movie is not quite simple so the effort which he had contributed for his making and also for the direction need applause because even though the movie is predictable the film doesn’t make any lagging or doesn’t promote to show boring stuff.

The mixed-up factors in the screenplay such as adding massive heavy fights, love, romance, brotherhood, parenthood, sentiments and betrayal etc keep the movie engaged, the whole 149 minutes is filled up with engaging stuff so the continuity in watching won’t give any kind of boring or lagging feel. The message which the movie intended to transfer was good, everyone can be changed for a better life, its a great message and the way of treatment to execute the message has won but sadly not fully. The aim of the maker Bakkiyaraj Kannan is simple and he had brought out moderately, but the implementation of the story into the screenplay lacks depth. The screenplay is the main issue, the events and circumstances which the movie unfolds are almost like the usual repetitive stuff. The factors like father-son differences, their sentiments, hero fated to save the land, saving his loved ones, protecting the land, making agriculture sentiments, the hero having romance, hero defending the villain, cat and mouse play between villain and hero and finally hero defeating the villain through some unbelievable fights, these types of repetitive are commonly found in Tamil and Telugu movies. So here when it comes to Sulthan all these above factors are once again added to the screenplay luckily most of them were having some quiet changes. Bakkiyaraj Kannan as the director managed to finish the job relatively but he could have stepped back from writing the screenplay. 

The movie has various kind of emotions like parenthood, concern, brotherhood, love and betrayal. Among this brotherhood was pleasant to watch, the bond between an educated man and goons were shown beautifully. To make someone change into a good person is difficult, that’s one of the mainly focused element. The character Sulthan trying to make his family goons into agricultural framers was pleasant and delightful to watch. The romance between Karthi and Rashmika was not that effective, a chemistry or a kind of depth was missing in their love. Farmers will do anything to protect their land and that’s something we have seen earlier in many Tamil commercial films so in Sulthan also the same formula continues, some worked some doesn’t. The father-son relationship and attachments were also not that perfect, it was ok but not worked perfectly to create the sentiments. This screenplay has this kind of loopholes, in the story, the issues come at the predicable way of storytelling. Therefore Sulthan can’t be termed as a perfect mass masala commercial movie even though by the execution and by the performance from actors it’s enjoyable and entertaining. 

Looking into the performance Karthi steals the entire show as Sulthan, it’s was all about his rocking and energetic performance. He just once again proved that he can still hold among the top actor’s list, the way he undertook the character Sulthan was amazing and entertaining. The action sequences were terrific especially before the interval block and also at the climax, the style he uses while performing the actions deserves a big applause. His romance was the Rashmika was also good and the brilliant acting at the emotional scenes was also outstanding. Rashmika Mandanna did a notable performance, her beautiful smile and gorgeous looks were impressive, her few emotional scenes were also nice. Lal as Mansoor did a spectacular performance, his screen space with Karthi was wonderful, the chemistry they had in both was incredible to watch. His emotional scenes had also worked out effectively especially at the climax, also some of his situational comedies had worked out. Yogi Babu did a fine job as the goon, most of his comedies were funny and the scenes with Karthi was hilarious. Ponvannan as the father of Rashmika did a notable job, Napoleon as the father of Karthi also did the best, the chemistry was less but his acting was fair.  Ramachandra Raju and Nawab Shah as the villains shine throughout, among screen space were less for Nawab but he was a stylish villain, Ramachandra Babu’s looks and actions need special mention. Also, all those artists who acted as the goons did a remarkable performance. 

The musical composition for the film is by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The background scores were matching to set the mood when the action does Yuvan had composed with neat and exciting tunes which helped to create thrill also at the emotional scenes the BGM was fine with sentimental themes. But the magic of Yuvan Shankar Raja music was not seen in the tracks, all the songs were average, the punch was missing, sadly this is one of his worst work. The cinematography by Sathyan Sooryan was fantastic, the camera movements for the actions was existing also the magical frames of farming land was captured authentically, many close up frames of actors during the actions were also fitting, the high angle shots for both actions sequences and scenery scenes were acceptable. The editing of Ruben was at top-level as usual, with no mismatches; the cuts were with perfect timings. 

So overall Sulthan had given me a mixed kind of experience, the performance of Karthi is the first prior winning factor that makes the movie watchable. The half baked screenplay and the predictable way of storytelling make the movie dull but as a movie intended for a mass commercial mass film, it has some contents to entertain the viewers. Rather I do say that Sulthan is a movie that partially failed to meet the expectations, a normal or a usual typical mass masala movie that can be a choice for a one time watch. So to conclude watch with fewer expectations, stunts and performance from Karthi is worthy of a time pass watch.
