muvi-fan-73 Tone, Script & Story: The story is how an Indian peasant gets caught beyond the border in Pakistan, and there he is later tried for 1990 Lahore blasts. The story highlights the struggle of his family and other's to bring him back safely. The question now arises, will that happen?The struggle, mutual agreement to free some of the innocent from both sides, working for peace together is filmed really well. However that does not go well for Sarbjit. He was kept under terrible conditions. Despite huge number of people getting involved in silent protest and having 100,000 signatures in his favor he dies a tragic death by attack of jail inmates after spending 22 years of imprisonment.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The movie is filmed really well. It has the cinematography which does not leave the memory. I would say it to be nice work. Music: Music is average. Acting: I liked acting of Aishwarya (unlike most of people) and Randeep.Final Verdict: It shows some of the real action going on between neighboring nations. It will add to your think tank some reality. It is a painful run that one must know.

prateekhemdev Sarbjit is a brilliant movie and it exceeded my expectations as after Mary Kom I did not expect much from new director Omung Kumar. The screenplay is great and the story depicts the struggle Sarbjit sister faces for 23 years to get her brother out of prison. This movie is a must watch for the excellent performance of Randeep Hooda and the optimism his character shows despite of suffering. The dialogues in the movie are also good and the sad background score goes well with the story line. In the end one has tears in the eyes after seeing the suffering of Sarbjit. The only disappointment was that Richa chadha did not have much role as Sarbjit wife and her skills were under utilized and I would give it 9 out of 10 as this is by far the best drama film of 2016.

Rawal Afzal 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

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.
