Mihir Gupta We were confused between X-Men and Sarbjit, my friend don't like both the genres. So we decided that we will ask the ticket vendor. Fortunately, we got tickets of this movie and that too in the topmost row. The movie is good. Being a Punjabi, I didn't like the Punjabi used in the movie. Randeep Hooda has done justice to the character. Aishwarya is not meant for such roles, though her acting was good. There is a scene, where Sarbjit meet his family after so many years, for me that was the best and the most emotional scene of the movie. One last thing i want to say that such movies should not be made because it sends a wrong signal to the youth and also the uneducated sector about the Pakistan.

namashi_1 Sarabjit Singh. Google this name, and you'd get a history on him. On his journey from being a nobody in Punjab, to being falsely imprisoned in Pakistan for 23 years, on how much his Sister fought for his innocence & bring him back home, only to breath his last, after he was attacked by his inmates at the jail. Its a horrifying story & Director Omang Kumar takes the chance to narrate it with 'Sarbjit'.Honestly, 'Sarbjit' is a tragedy so heartbreaking, it must be true. Cinematically, the biopic unfolds affectingly, albeit with a few flaws in its writing, but what stands tall here, despite the blemishes, is Randeep Hooda, who's portrayal of Sarbjit, is simply unforgettable. 'Sarbjit' starts off with disappearance of Sarbjit (Randeep Hooda) back in 1990. That's when his Sister Dalbir (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), & Wife Sukhpreet (The Wonderful Richa Chaddha) start a search on him. After 6 months of being clueless, Dalbir receives a letter from her missing brother & later learns that, at the night of his disappearance, he accidentally crossed the border after having a couple of drinks. However, he has been mistaken to be an Indian spy and has been going through severe torture in a jail in Pakistan. And thus, begins Dalbir's struggle to prove her brother's innocence & bring him back home, which sadly lasted for 23 years & also cost Sarbjit his life. 'Sarbjit' has its share of powerful moments. And by powerful, I even mean emotionally. Its hard not to get a lump in your throat in the sequence when Sarbjit meets his family after 18 long years. Even the sequences where Sarbjit is tortured, are difficult to watch. But, despite the film being called 'Sarbjit', the narrative is more on Dalbir's relentless pursuit to free her brother form injustice. Its truly affecting to see Dalbir fight & never give up, despite political pressures & racial matters, That being said, this is a depressing film, so I'd suggest you only to watch this biopic, if you have the heart for it.Utkarshini Vashishtha & Rajesh Beri's Screenplay re-tells a true human tragedy, with some really arresting moments. However, I found the second-hour a bit less captivating as compared to the first-hour. The pace slackens in the second-hour & hence, the impact overall, somehow gets affected. Nonetheless, the goings-on are mostly engaging. Omang Kumar's Direction is a bit loud, but he has handled some sequences very well. Cinematography is fair. Editing is also decently done. Background Score is fabulous. Make-Up is nicely done. Performance-Wise: Randeep Hooda is the heartbeat of 'Sarbjit'. As the innocent man imprisoned wrongfully, Hooda transforms into a man, physically & mentally, who despite all the horror, never lost his humanity. This is a performance driven by pure talent & commitment. This is Hooda at his finest! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Dalbir, delivers an earnest performance. She justifies her part, expressing genuine frustration & helplessness. Richa Chaddha is quietly devastating as Sarbjit's wife, displaying a range of emotions with her piercing eyes. She's superb! Darshan Kumar as Awais Sheikh, A Pakistan Lawyer who defends Sarbjit, shines in a brief role. Others lend good support.On the whole, 'Sarbjit' is compelling in parts, but Hooda soars!

Harman Sohi It's an era for Biographies in India, followed by Neerja and Azhar, Sarbjit is a very sensitive topic for a film. Some brilliant performances by Randeep Hooda, Aishwarya Rai and Richa Chadha. Omung Kumar has beautifully directed the film with all small intricacies. A tragic real-life story. A perfect cast for for Sarabjit- Randeep Hooda has lived more than the expectations. His grief, accent and looks complete the ensemble. His performance is overall quite praise- worthy, just falling short of a little longer screen time. Aishwarya Rai tries to quite live up to the character but there are areas that could have been improved. At some places her walking styles, her lip-twisting and chest-thumping are too posh for a character like Dalbir Kaur. Some of us hark back to her purple lips at Cannes. Although her voice tone impresses you. She has been quite successful to exhibit anger, unstaggering devotion,helplessness and trauma in each and every frame. Richa- Chadha's 3 minute monologue in a closed room with Aishwarya is exemplary. The screenplay, locations and overall-efforts are outstanding, though at a time the Anti-Pakistani Sentiments are a bit too much. Long-stressed empathy is remarkable and will find a place in every person-Be it a Hindustani or Pakistani or any other human. Dialogues are well- written and impactful. Personally, the movie has more songs than it would require. Some are just unnecessary. The first 15 minutes are too fast- showing many happy, emotional and traumatic scenes at a go. This leaves the movie dipping in the post-interval period. But overall I would suggest it's a must-watch to evoke the humanity, empathy and awareness in us. I give it a 8/10.
