Sarzameen

This film presents a frustrating paradox. On one hand, it is a visual masterpiece, featuring absolutely beautiful and well-composed frame shots that could easily be mistaken for good storyline. The cinematography is, without a doubt, the high point of the entire production.

However, a film cannot survive on visuals alone. The sole spark of life in the narrative comes from Kajol. She is the only believable part of a story that otherwise feels completely empty.

2 Stars extra for Kajol

It's a real shame, then, that the rest of the movie falls apart because it has nothing to say. The plot is empty and feels forced, with other characters so poorly written you barely notice them. To have such a great main actress and such amazing visuals wasted on a story this dull is not just disappointing, it's very annoying. You are left with no feelings for the story, just the clear, irritating feeling that you watched two hours of a wasted chance. See it for Kajol if you have to, but don't say I didn't warn you.

One time watchable below average movie.could be better .still one time watchable movie.postives prthiv and Kajol acting .son character is very weak.its family emotional drama .so if you watch with family it would be better. So go and watch the movie with your family .keep your expectations at low it's only below average one.

I recently watched Sarzameen with the hope that it would offer a powerful narrative about a complex geopolitical issue. Unfortunately, the film fell short on almost every front. It was disappointing, poorly structured, and left no lasting impression.

Plot: The storyline lacked depth and clarity. The plot revolved around sensitive themes like Kashmir, India, and Pakistan, but the treatment felt forced and oversimplified. There was no emotional buildup, no twists, and nothing that held the audience's attention. The movie felt like it was trying to say something important, but failed to deliver it meaningfully. Overall, the plot was confusing and bland.

Acting: The performances were underwhelming. Most of the actors appeared expressionless or overly dramatic in the wrong moments. It felt like they were trying too hard, yet failing to connect with the characters or the viewers. There was no standout performance that could save the film. Even intense scenes felt lifeless due to poor acting and lack of chemistry between the cast.

Direction & Visuals: The direction was sloppy. There was no consistent tone or pacing throughout the film. The visuals were plain and uninspired, and shockingly, the film had almost no background music, which made several scenes fall flat. Music is essential for building atmosphere, but here, the silence added awkwardness instead of tension.

Overall Impression: Sarzameen had potential, but it ended up being a paltu movie-confused, politically tinted, and emotionally disconnected. The lack of storytelling finesse, poor performances, and uninspired direction make it hard to recommend. I believe the makers could have done much better with such a relevant subject.

Dharma has become a joke! They continue to work with undeserving Nepo kids and their recent films have all been complete garbage.

It seems like Karan has sold his sinking liability to Adhar poonawala and is now enjoying his life.

No big actor is working with Dharma and now even these mid range actors have understood that they are just apart of a movie making factory.

Ibrahim has been reduced to a supporting actor in this film. Obviously after watching the finished film the makers did not have the guts to release it in the theatres. Saif's son is a disaster even without a theatrical release.

Dharma needs to cast films based on the merit of the script and not because of just setting up a project for X and selling it for X+Y It's sad to see how Dharma has destroyed itself.. How the mighty have fallen...

Anwar Says: Banner of Dharma Productions, directed by Boman Irani son Kayaz Irani and cast includes Superstar Prithwiraj, Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim and one of the most talented actors Kajol, enough to be awake till 2.30 am to finish it in one go. But in spite of all the emotional angle in 500th film made on valley, it could not flourish.

Ibrahim was a real bad choice, after Nadaniyan, absolutely don't know what forced Irani to choose him as the pivotal character. Prithwiraj is excellent in emotional sequences but the biggest setback is Kajol. Director couldn't exploit her at all, not even in the twist. We have such great movies on Kashmir that even a mediocre one could not compete. Climax hardly ignite any excitement.

The only thing I am going to appreciate is the songs and music, you would not feel like using remote. Probably better option streaming on other platforms.
