10 Reasons Why Sultan Is Likely To Break All Records

1.     Because it is [tooltip id="c1b465420d07c688942ed18eadfd9f92" keyword_color="#000000" background_color="#ffffff"][tooltip id="4db8f5608d45f5de7881d9bce162f4bf"]Salman Khan">[/tooltip][/tooltip]. Bhai’s fan-following has got stauncher since last Eid.Why? Because he’s been under attack. And because he is Bhai.

2.     [tooltip id="4db8f5608d45f5de7881d9bce162f4bf"]Salman Khan">[/tooltip][/tooltip]’s Eid releases have  constantly shattered their own records.Last year during EidBajrangi Bhaijaan raked in a record-breaking 650 crore rupees worldwide Sultan is expected to touch that figure and possibly surpass it simply  because treble or bass  Bhai ke fans ko Salman pasand hai.

3.     Salman in a sports film for the first time. He was supposed to do Chak De. But for reasons best known to him—does anyone know how Bhai’s mind works?—he decided not to do Chak De .AparentlyYashraj was not willing to pay Bhai the price he wanted(Cheque De or else no Chak De). Sultan is Salman’s first sports film.And the Salmaniacs  are excited  to see him step into the outdoors.

4.     Sports films following the rise-and-fall-and-rise formula have always done well whether it is  Rocky, Raging Bull , Chak De or Lagaan.

5.     The untried virginal Jodi. Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma together for the first time. Going by the trailers they are solidly pitched against one another, Usually Salman’s heroines are the fragile delicately feminine types. Not this one. Anushka gives Bhai tit for tat in out of the wrestling ring.She is no chui-mui touch-me-not delicate diva.We like.

6.     The  5-day Eid weekend provides Sultan enough room to grow tangentially. There is no competition from any film. Even Rajnikanth with his Kabal has swiftly swerved away from his scheduled Eid release.

7.     More of Salman Khan to take away this time. Bhai’s fans are pleased to know that at 2 hours 50 minutes Sultan is the lengthiest Bhai-product since Sooraj Barjatya’s Hum…Aapke Hain Kaun.

8.     Preview audiences say Salman’ s wrestling scenes are the highlights of  the film. The fights don’t look staged. We can see Salman actually wrestling with his enemies inside and outside his persona, on screen.

9.     Love is in the air. Salman’s best film to date  Hum…Dil De Chuke Sanam happened when he was in love. He fell in love again while shooting Sultan.

10.  Barring a few cameos  Sultan  is actually the first full-fledged Muslim character  played by Salman. So here’s  Prem as Sultan. Telling us it’s not about the name. But how far you take it .
