#Sultan: Controversy's child Salman Khan's the winner all the way

Controversies, rape analogies and consequent apologies (not) be damned, Sultan and the Bhai of Bollywood are the definite winners. If Twitter is anything to go by and #Sultan the barometer of success, the movie will perhaps break all Box Office records.

Saw #Sultan ...it's going to be the HUGEST BLOCKBUSTER till date...no question about it....an unbelievable mainstream experience!!!!!!!

Leading movie reviewers have given it atleast a 4-star rating, with almost everybody calling it a ‘Blockbuster’. While praising the movie, critic Taran Adarsh claimed that #Salmania is at its peak. 

East. West. North. South... #Sultan wave across the country... #Salmania at its peak!

DNA even went as far as to call it Salman's best career portrayals.

However, KRK had something not too pleasant to say about the movie.

What a let down 2nd half of #Sultan! I can't believe tat Ali n @yrf have guts to use total 2nd half of film #brothers without any hesitation
