Sultanat review :
Before the super hit Khuda Gawah (1992), Mukul S Anand had directed a magnum opus called Sultanat starring baap beta Dharamendra and Sunny Deol which was produced by Dharam's friend Arjun Hingorani. The film introduced Shashi Kapoor's son Karan and Juhi Chawla who had small role. Sridevi was paired with Sunny and she looked extremely pretty in it.
Dharam and Sunny were pitted against each other while Amrish Puri played the main villain as Razouli. Technically brilliant like all Mukul Anand films, the desert setting was the films highlight and the sword fights were effectively handled.
The film was mounted on a massive scale and couldn't recover its huge budget through box office returns entailing losses to distributors and exhibitors.
The title song is still memorable and was picturised on producer Arjun Hingorani dressed as a fakir.
I had watched the film at the time of its release on VHS and liked it that time. I revisited it again on YouTube during the corona lockdown. Brought back the nostalgia!!
