Nice Movie.. I would recommend this movie to everyone.Great acting with Aishwarya and Randeep.In this film, Randeep and Aishwarya acting and effort was awesome.Although this movie is bit emotional but they way director present this was awesome.Many things that Indians are not aware about sarbjit are in this movie.I would not recommend this movie if you do not like pain and crying because this is full of this and even I feel this is too much in this film.if you want to know what happen with sarbjit go for the movie and plan another movie or do something else.

I saw this film only coz of Randeep. The guy is an amazing actor. What a transformation he did for this. He really looked like the part he portrayed. The movie is plain bad. Period. Randeep gets a 10/10 for his acting n effort but the movie gets only 3 from me. The direction by Omung Kumar is plain bad. Even his first film was pathetic. (Read my reviews of Mary Kom). At least in this film, Randeeps acting n effort was awesome. The screenplay is awful as well as the editing. The film is so melodramatic that at times it became a torture to sit thru it. Aishwarya cannot act for sure. She was jus shouting n screaming. Maybe she shud b given the scream queen award by Jamie Lee Curtis. Actually she robbed Randeep. This movie shud hav jus focused on Randeep. But on contrary, she was all over the trailers/promos/interviews/screen time. At times I thot m I watching a biopic on sarbjit or on his sister. After the failure of Jazbaa, she must hav told her agent get me some biopic, as biopics r the latest trend in bollywood. Biopics requires research, time, dedication n passion. Unfortunately, most of our Indian directors n actors don't have time n passion for it. The best example was Mary kom.

Take a film just as that, yes, a film. Something as work of fiction, and this film manages to touch your heart and your emotions like not many can. The suffering of an innocent man, the undeserved torture on a farmer whose only sin was mistakenly, in a state of being drunk, landing on the wrong side of the border. The emotions are so well depicted that you could possibly end up in tears on many different scenes.Randeep Hooda is an actor who keeps growing on me with every film passing. He is a gem that Bollywood has found in the recent years. To top it, I never believed that Aishwarya would be able to pull of the role of a Punjaban so so well, with great dialogue delivery with that typical Punjabi-ness, great immersing into the character of a sister who would go to any length to protect her brother.I wrote such a detailed review that the character limit over here disallows it to be posted. I uploaded it in simple text format on some text hosting site.http://textuploader.com/5bmgt

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.
