Sultan Turns 10: A Decade of Salman Khan's Inspirational Wrestling Epic
A decade after its release, Sultan continues to hold a special place in Bollywood. Released on July 6, 2016, the sports drama starring Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma remains one of the most celebrated films in the genre, blending emotional storytelling with high-intensity wrestling action.
To mark the film's 10th anniversary, Yash Raj Films shared a tribute celebrating the movie's enduring message of grit, resilience, and perseverance. The anniversary video revisits iconic training montages, emotional moments, and Sultan Ali Khan's inspiring journey from champion to redemption, rekindling nostalgia among fans.
Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Sultan follows the life of fictional wrestler Sultan Ali Khan, whose rise to international glory is overshadowed by personal setbacks before he fights his way back. The film was praised for Salman Khan's physical transformation and emotionally layered performance, while Anushka Sharma's portrayal of wrestler Aarfa added depth to the story.
Beyond its critical acclaim, Sultan emerged as one of the biggest box-office successes of 2016, grossing over ₹600 crore worldwide and cementing its place among the highest-grossing Hindi films of its time. Its memorable soundtrack—including songs like Jag Ghoomeya and Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai—also became chartbusters.
Ten years on, Sultan continues to inspire audiences with its themes of determination, redemption, and self-belief, proving that its emotional impact extends well beyond the wrestling ring.
