Meantime, Sekhar is having a gala time torturing the poor chap Prithvi.

After knowing that prithvi is his brother and then realizing the torture he made on his wife and mom, he send Roja with a suitcase with all the gold biscuits and stuff to SMP that he is ready to surrender.

Sultan also warns that he is going to bomb all the MLA's and MP's in India if one million dollars are not given to him. During the climax Sultan realizes that foreign militants used him as the pawn in the destruction process of India. So the focus shifts to two of the foreign militants that are present at the climax scene, luckily.We have PS fighting tirelessly with militants, as Sultan is busy with making the missiles targeted on all cites futile. Surprise of the climax is that Sultan mother stabs Sultan, as she was not aware that Sultan is a changed man now. After a climax of 15 minutes audiences get a breather as Prithvi and Sekhar remains unconquered.

Analysis :

Balaiah excelled well in two roles very well. Sultan character does have the shades of Yuvarathna Rana. Prithvi's character is lovable. Balaiah get-up's in this movie needs a special praise. Krishna did his role with ease. He is as smart as ever in his character, which need mental smartness too. Krishnam Raju did his cameo role with professionalism. Rachana is given most of the lady portion. She does look sexy and sensible. Roja acted well in her character that is limited to getting raped by her hubby Sultan in a deglamorized role. Deepti Bhatnagar did her small role with elan. Brahmanandam is just used in a few scenes.

TeluguOne Perspective :

Sultan has a very powerful story that is not scripted well. 'Sultan' character is a strange one. Sultan is not a Muslim by birth. He decides his name as sultan as Sultan is synonymous to King. His aim is to make money, bed the damsels, and booze away to glory. His objective of life is to become Dictator for India. This is a negative point of movie. It defies logic. This role is not like that of Robin Hood's, which loots rich money to serves the poor. Here Sultan loots money to amass wealth. His childhood experiences provoked him to become a terrorist. But this terrorist does not have goal for the country. He is greedy for 3 W's. One more this is that SULTAN is a true multi-starrer. So it become increasingly difficult to accommodate 4 important roles without upsetting the rhythm. First half is full of excitement and suspense. Second half is a little boring. Twists are good. Songs are nice. Fights are more. Balaiah different get-up's and styles are good. About the box-office performance…. Well we have to wait and see how Andhra Audiences script the box-office future of Sultan.
