Some times it becomes very slow some scenes runs fast very good acting by hooda but Aishwarya Rai acting it didn't connected to me apart from that it is a good movie
This possibly is one of those which go straight into rare collection of Bollywood flicks. One of its type this one plays with your emotions and challenges your mental strength. You can do nothing except fall for the realistic presentation by the actors. Randeep is the 'apple of eye' here, aishwarya did a brilliant supporting work. The center of attraction here though is the ease with which anyone can connect himself to the movie. You can never afford to miss these antiques of our cinema. Directorial debut is phenomenal with the appealing efforts of the full caste and the mentor, the director. A big salute for taking us through an experience that one can never lose throughout the life. Best flick ....
I watch Indian movies for several reasons. Usually I watch one lighter one, followed by a more serious one. I'm not terribly qualified to make in-depth comments about Indian cinema, but let me recommend this movie to all viewers, Indian, Pakistani, and everyone else. I'm getting misty just recalling the movie as I write this review. I don't want to include a spoiler, but there was a surprise in this film, at least for me. I thought the acting and the tension were superb. Even the aging of the characters over the years was well done. And there are many lessons to be learned. Do not under any circumstances skip the credits. The real-life photos are included. And yes, even within this sad story there is time to sing and dance. Where would we be without at least that?
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.
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.
