Sikandar Movie:

AR Murugadoss directs Sikandar, which features Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi and Sathyaraj. Although it had a good idea and received huge promotion, the movie was faulted for having a poor script and uneven emotional highs. The movie earned ₹184 crore worldwide, short of what was expected.

The viral deleted scene reminds us that effective editing and narration are paramount in filmmaking. Although Sikandar was short of expectation, the scene has generated controversy about what should have been done. Fans await to see effective storytelling given more priority in other movies so such an effective scene ends up being part of what they watch in theaters.

Salman Khan’s Sikandar might have failed to hit the mark, but this cut scene has provided the movie a second opportunity to engage with the viewer on a greater level.
