Two of the most awaited films of 2016 – Sultan and Dangal – are both based on the story of wrestlers. While Dangal is a real-life story of Mahavir Singh Phogat (amateur wrestler and senior Olympics coach), the story of Sultan is completely fictional.
But the newly released teaser of Sultan seems to be heavily inspired (would be an understatement) from a video of Geeta Phogat’s story – which was released more than a year ago in January 2015.
Geeta Phogat is Mahivir Singh Phogat’s first daughter and her character will be played by Fatima Sana Shaikh in Dangal.
Watch the two videos below and check out the similarities for yourself. Everything from the voice over, pull-ups of Anushka Sharma, her taking on a male wrestler, then fighting a female wrestler and the message of women empowerment – every bit of it has been included in the second teaser of Sultan.
I have been saying it since I first came to know about Sultan’s story. The comparison with Sultan will hurt Dangal despite the fact Dangal was announced much earlier than Sultan. I’m not sure if Aamir will be too happy about it.
I know this kiddo is trying his best to steal the show from Aamir’s most ambitios and awaited Dangal, but once it will release, aamir will bulldoze and crush this bhojpuri’s crap fest by big margin. After all no.need to say, history itself speaks who is baap since last many years. No one is bigger than Aamir in stardom.
That means salman is also playing father role of anushka in sultan…finally salman has take his father position which he deserves a lot.
Indicine team I must admit you amuse me highly because you are so predictable whenever a Salman Khan movie is to be released because you are so partial to SRK.
I knew it was just a matter of time when you would look for some avenue to bring comparisons and negativity to stir up fans against Salman. Look back to your history on every one of his movies and I saying this without any prejudice.
You team is partial and in life to be truly successful and appreciated one must be impartial in every area of business.
Your negativity towards Salman is the best form of Success for him. Love conquers all.
Is sultan a spinoff of dangal…or its other way around…lol…its a rip off…fact..!!!
EVEN BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN COPIED A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF CHAAND NAWAB.
@ Navin at 4:13 pm : Lol
by indicine’s logic even movies like Dhoni, azhaar , Sachin will be in trouble and the movies will be all the same , these legends are merely “copies” of each other ..why?? because they play the same sport, practice the same way, cricket ground look the same, winning MoM moments are the same.. nonsese braindead reporters..
@ Indicine : Another awesome job with that QnA session today.
Commenting here coz u closed the comments box there.
@ANK, thank you.
Teaser 2 is fab
Anushka looks s part
As for d champ geeta phogats video…. Definitely similar but it’s d reality of a girl from rural background in a patriarchal society wanting to make it big in wrestling.. Again considered only for men
As for SULTAN and dangal… Dey won’t b similar… Don’t Blv me.. Wait for Dr release
Excitement for SULTAN is sky high… I can tell wait to watch it…. And for all ds Ali abbas deserves kudos to…. Hope he delivers what promises to b a cracker of a movie worth repeated viewing
You people are so stupid you believe everything thing you read on this site as gospel. Sultan did not copy anything from Dangal so stop looking for a blasted excuse to stir up trouble because Aamir had already said it is not and indicine you ought to be ashamed of yourself for spreading lies don’t you know that all liars have their place in hell.
Come on tell us your real reason for publishing this article how much were you paid because I smell something fishy here and I am never wrong. If you have guts come out and tell us why you found it necessary to do so or are you still being the source of you know who.
Be careful for I have my lawyer in India investigating your site to find the truth and the object for your article.
@Bajan Indian, threats are not going to work here. This is our website and we have the absolute freedom to post anything we want to. We have put the two videos in front of everyone, let readers watch and decide. It has got nearly 5000 shares on social media so far, so people who find similarity in the two videos are in the majority, otherwise it wouldn’t get so many shares.
You can do whatever you want to with your lawyers.
No one do not expect creativity from Salman bhai, so i am not surprise to see this drama.
@abhay malhotra
Shut up moron. Salman is the biggest superstar. Aamir is nothing.
@ indicine- srkians win polls in your site so they share any negative post about salman but you can’t decide by that videos are similar, anushka has different moves and salman talking positive in teaser with different dialauges but in phogut video the man talking negative.
That means the 2nd most flops giving disaster decade struggler will get one more flop/disaster with Gunday 2. This time no Kabila khan, harshali, south remake to save him. So loltan will be a big flop. Dang all will be highest grosser of all time and All Time BlockBuster.
@Anand the Fake, don’t cry baby. I understand your insecurity and frustration. No one can stop Loltan from being a big flop buster.
@Rahul Malhotra copying my Last name? You better shut up. Just like you remake star. Megastar Aamir khan is the only Biggest Megastar. Lallu is nothing. Lallu is a tiny kid and nothing in front of Biggest Megastar Aamir khan. Dangal will crush tiny Bhojpuri Lallu’s Floptan.
@bajan Indian
Lawyer—hahaha bhai are you in your senses?did you actually watch the two videos?What your lawyer will do here???Babaji ka thullu??yar kaise kaise log a jate hain comment section me
@ bajan indian – keep your mind cool. thousand articles on fan can’t make it hit and thousand negative articles and comments on sultan can’t make it hit. so wait till sultan relase then everything will be clear who is right.
i mean negative articles can’t make it flop.
salman is playing lady fighter’s lover but amir playing father role, enough to prove sultan and dangal are different movies. they can’t eat each others business.
@ bajan Indian at 8:22 pm : Lol. Threat of lawyer????
Bhai kai fans bhi halkay nahin atay.
With just one article look at some Salman fans getting so negative against Indicine and forgetting the number of times Indicine has called Salman a megastar and its continuous praises of Salman for his blockbusters.
@Abhay Malhotra
Shut up. Salman is the biggest megastar. Aamir will always be below him.
@AK fan
Your Dhobi ghat actor will never be as big as Salman. Salman is the biggest megastar of bollywood ever. He has given 6 back to back blockbusters. Only Salmon rules.
Indicine does it yet again after “Intolerance” episode to gain more hits on its site by posting such article. TOI’s comparator when comes to bollywood news.
Well done Indicine, you achieved your goal by making so many people post for this uncalled for article.
@SK Fan, look who is talking? Marigold and Main Aur Mrs Khanna actor’s fan is talking about the Biggst Global megastar aamir Khan who has given 2 back to back All time Blockbusters and All time Highest Grossers not once but twice. Your champu margold star is tiny kid n front of Globa Megasar Aamir Khan. Lallu never was and never will be as big as Megastar Aamir Khan. He doesnt have a single quality to be Megastar like Numero Uno Emperor Aamir Khan. And dnt forget your tiny none actor lallu has given back to back flops and disasters. Never dare to compare him to emperor Aamir Khan.
MegastarvAamir khan will end the carwer f Media Hyped bhojpuri gawaar worst none actor lallu. All his upcoming movis will flop badly.
ha ha ha, some srk fan making fake ids to bash both salman and amir. losers first search good scripts for srk then talk about others with your real id’s.
Salman and Aamir plz Fan stop fighting ! Indicine u are rspnsbl for this
@Bajan Indian well said !
@Rahul malhaotra & Abhay malhotra…
I will give u a solution..
Both lallu and Fan less Aamir are biggest flop star of the country before 2009.. Now they are included with the group new comers..
After 2016 Both will be going to Her old struggling days…
#Fasal kerala
There is a reason why I call this “bajanindian” a bimbo. She is living in he own dreamland, where she has a fleet of ships, an island, properties in all the continents and a Team of established lawyers in India.
I don’t think even Ambani would flaunt about his properties till this extent.
And that’s strengthen my belief that she is nothing but a psycho, who once upon a time dreamt about her future partner (who should own all the aforementioned facilities) , but since she didn’t get her dream guy, she went mental and now she is torturing the readers of indicine with her fantasies.
And if anybody goes against her, she will write a big essay on Bible, God etc.
So listen you bimbo @bajanindian , go and reiterate your dream sequence in front of the kids of your colony and better threaten them on the name of lawyers as they would be ignorant enough to get afraid for an instance.
But for god sake, stop giving such silly threats here as it looks more of a joke to us, than a threat. Lol.
