Sarbjit Reviews

Sarbjit is an irresponsibly sloppy film, a film so focused on artless emotional manipulation and trying to make the audience weep, that it trivialises an important true-life story.

I did tear up a couple of times, but only for Sarbjit. Randeep Hooda is mostly shown inside his dark, fetid cell, his hair filthy, his hands gnarled.

In many ways Sarbjit feels half-baked and wanting. But the performances particularly Randeep Hoodas keeps you invested in whats on the screen. Its not a perfect film, but there is enough to appreciate here.

The script seems more intent on giving the heroine a platform to holler and hector her way though than on crafting a balanced narrative that tracks the impact of Sarabjit’s disappearance on the family as a whole.

Sarbjit should have been the film that could have brought out issues of human rights being oppressed in favour of political games, but what it turns out to be is a nearly three hours of inconsistent and flawed storytelling.

Sarbjit is a brave attempt, but the treatment is so melodramatic and so shrill, you come away with a heavy aching head, instead of a heavy heart at the tragedy of the peoples from both sides of the border.

In many ways Sarbjit feels half-baked and wanting. But the performances – particularly Randeep Hooda's – keeps you invested in what's on the screen. It's not a perfect film, but there is enough to appreciate here.

Aishwarya’s Sarbjit is extremely fictionalised, drum-beating, melodramatic saga that suffers from an overtly-worked-up lead actor.

The blame lies largely in the script which doesn't leave much for its actors to do other than excessively cry or scream or otherwise sit sulking.

If you want to know about Sarabjit, google it for free. You'll know more than what the film has to offer.

The story is sad. The treatment is bad. It is long and loopy and manipulative but it hurts more because it is based on a true story.

Overall, the film takes you on an emotional ride and makes you question a lot about the political crisis between two countries. It is up to the audience to judge whether Sarabjit was an Indian spy or an innocent farmer.

Sarbjit has immense poignancy at its heart. But the execution of the theme of a homesick dying man imprisoned in a hostile country often tends to lean dangerously close to populism.

Watch this film at least once for its honesty and the hard work that has gone into it.

Powered by good story telling and amazing performances, 'Sarbjit' is bound to sail ahead, anchored by its true spirit and commitment.

Sarbjit feels too contrived and never becomes powerfully evocative.Sarbjit would have benefitted greatly had it been a no-frills affair rather than making it a mainstream movie filled with commercial elements.

Pinkvilla Buzz is built for the way India watches entertainment today: fast, social, vertical, and impossible to stop scrolling.

Sarbjit fails to rise above its commercial nature to actually hit you in the gut with its real story. A contrived plot and over the top performance by Aish makes this movie a lengthy affair.

Sarbjit - Movie Review Rating Omung Kumar has a solid plot in Sarbjit This biopic, unlike the earlier one he made on Mary Kom, is not of the triumphant survival saga of an underdog

The direction depicts a human being and a human truth – individuals often face prisons of politics where the innocent can be shackled in darkness.

On the whole, Sarbjit has an emotional drama as its plus point but its slow pace, docu-drama-like feel, tragic ending and unfulfilling drama will be the stumbling blocks in its box-office journey.
