Sultan (2016)
Critics are warmer than audiences.
The FilmyChill Score combines audience ratings and critics' reception, and updates twice a day. No studio or platform can pay for a score. How the score works
Sultan is streaming in India on Netflix.
What the audience says
Sultan is a solid, watchable Hindi film that mostly delivers on what it promises. It holds a 6.8/10 on TMDB from 277 ratings, right around average territory. At 170 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In India you can stream it on Netflix.
Should you spend 2h 50m on it?
2h 50m of Hindi drama with action threaded through, not one for younger kids. At this length it's the whole evening's plan, not something to slot in after dinner.
- Why
- 6.8/10 from 277 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you want something you can finish before a reasonable bedtime
- Best for
- A night with nothing after it
