Far From Perfect’: Neeraj Pandey’s Netflix Thriller Sikandar Ka Muqaddar Receives Mixed Reviews
Neeraj Pandey is back in the OTT arena with his latest Netflix film, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, featuring a talented cast that includes Tamannaah Bhatia, Avinash Tiwary, and Jimmy Shergill.
Mixed Reactions
Upon its release, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar has received a mix of reviews, with many viewers describing it as “far from perfect.” While some praise the film, others express disappointment. One user noted, “Sikandar Ka Muqaddar is an entertaining suspense mystery that keeps you hooked throughout. The screenplay and performances are top-notch, especially Jimmy Shergill, who portrays policeman Jasvinder Singh with remarkable conviction”
Another viewer called it “a masterclass in suspense, performances, and direction,” emphasizing that it keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. However, not all feedback has been positive. One viewer criticized the film’s pacing, stating, “For 8 minutes, it’s just one scene playing—three characters repeating they don’t know anything. What kind of writers/editors do we have nowadays?” Another comment described it as “a gripping thriller with rubbish theories.”
