Sultanat 1986

Sultanat is a 1986 Indian Bollywood action, thriller film released on Apr 04, 1986. The film is directed by Mukul S. Anand, produced by Arjun Hingorani.
Spectacular Arabian Nights revenge fantasy set in avaguely indentifiale Middle East and deploying the exoticism associated with Spielbergs adventure films. The shahs General Khalid (Dharmendra) thwarts the coup for the throne attempted by Razaulli (Puri). Razauli kidnaps Khalid and his pregnant wife on their way to the hospital. Khalids wife dies in childbirth and Razaulli proclaims Khalids son as his own, swapping the infant for his stillborn daughter. Khalid remarries and has another son, Samir (Karan Kapoor), whom he sends abroad vowing never to set eyes on him until Khlid has avenged the death of his first wife. Razaullis secretly adopted son Sultan (Deol) grows up and falls in love with the shahs daughter, Princess Yasmin (Sridevi). In a complicated denouement, Khalid kills Razaulli and recalls Samir; Shakkir, an ambitious vassal, kills the shah and intercepts the returning Samir and emprisons him. Khalid is taken prisoner by Sultan and they engage in a bloody duel till Razaulis wife tells them that Khalid is Sultans real father. Khalid, Sulatan and Samir then kill Shakkir. Only then can Khalid die in peace surrounded by his sons. Anand does not shrink from spectacular anachronisms which have become his trademark (of his Khuda Gawah, 1992 as he mixes contemporary scenes into this commerically unsuccessful period movie tale.
