Storyline
Sultan is a story of Sultan Ali Khan - a local wrestling champion with the world at his feet as he dreams of representing India at the Olympics. It's a story of Aarfa - a feisty young girl from the same small town as Sultan with her own set of dreams. When the 2 local wrestling legends lock horns, romance blossoms and their dreams and aspirations become intertwined and aligned. However, the path to glory is a rocky one and one must fall several times before one stands victorious - More often than not, this journey can take a lifetime. Sultan is a classic underdog tale about a wrestlers journey, looking for a comeback by defeating all odds staked up against him. But when he has nothing to lose and everything to gain in this fight for his life match... Sultan must literally fight for his life. Sultan believes he's got what it takes... but this time, it's going to take everything he's got.

Trivia:
Producer Ravi Anand wanted Ravi Tandon to direct a film titled "Sultan" (1981) with Raaj Kumar in the title role. A day before the film could be launched, Ravi was in for the shock of my life when Raaj Kumar walked in and showed him the dialogues and the camera movements for the various artistes in Sultaan written by Raaj Kumar. Ravi told Raaj on his face that no star had ever directed me or dictated to me and I had worked with the biggest stars-Manoj Kumar, Chintu, Amitabh, Jeetendra, Shatrughan Sinha and Sanjeev Kumar. Ravi told Raaj Kumar to direct the film himself and walked out of the project in disgust. See more »

Am not here to give a speech !! Am able to use my intelligence and
nobody can't take that away from me! Media of India is known for
twisting the words and lines to make a story bigger than it really is
cos of extra benefits & TRPs ; and this time TIMES NOW's Editor-
in-Chief Arnab Goswami tried everything to put Salman's image down in
front of the general public but failed to destroy SALMAN KHAN's
super-stardom ! Cos every conspiracy has a expiration! So Sad !! :D
There are many special qualities of a classic film and this one has
them all. This movie was truly incredible. When I entered the theater I
was hoping to see a movie that I would add to my favorites list. A
movie that would have many different emotions. I was hoping to see a
great film. The movie went above my expectations. Mr. Salman Khan
clearly delivers one of his most stunning performances and projects
convincing emotion in his demonstration of an internal struggle. Miss
Anushka Sharma was finally given a role in which she could flex some
acting muscles after the disasters that were her lines in Bombay
Velvet. The SULTAN script was amazing, along with the directing. The
screenplay is top notch and you really feel for it all. The visual
effects are standard, but that is just fine. It doesn't make a
difference either way. I love stories that provide us with gentle
reminders and this is a great one. It's a wonderfully simple lesson
about anticipation, patience and consideration. I praise both Salman
and Anushka for a very touching movie that I will always remember.
Double thumbs up to Yash Raj Films and Ali Abbas Zafar for teaming up
and offering this life changing piece of cinema. It's a deeply
satisfying movie that makes you understand the importance of HOPE.
Highly Recommended !
