Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Directed by Omung Kumar, Sarbjit is a biographical drama film, which is based on a true story of Sarabjit Singh – an Indian national from a village located on the border in Punjab, who was convicted of terrorism and spying by a Pakistani court in 1990 and later sentenced to death in 1991. The plot is entirely aimed at a struggle of Dalbir Kaur (played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), a brave-hearted sister, who fights for 23 years to bring her brother Sarabjit (played by Randeep Hooda) back to his country, who according to himself and his family, is being framed by Pakistan government for a crime he didn't commit. Dalbir keeps on fighting hard and convincing people from both India and Pakistan that Sarabjit is innocent and should be released immediately. Meanwhile, Sarabjit's death sentence is repeatedly postponed by the Government of Pakistan. The story illustrates several ups and downs throughout the rising tension between both the countries due to events impacted by 1999 Kargil War, 2001 Indian Parliament attack, and 2008 Mumbai attacks. Unfortunately, Dalbir's fight ends with Sarabjit who gets attacked in a prison in 2013 and dies a week later in a hospital in Lahore. Sarbjit is a must-watch film, especially for an outstanding acting by both Randeep Hooda and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. As the story takes many emotional twists and turns, it is highly unlikely that you will not admire this film.

This Movie is an Average affair at best. My problem starts with the director of the movie Mr. Omang Kumar. He has major casting issues and should hire a different casting director. Although he's a good story teller he's choice of actors baffles me. Richa Chaddha is the only proper actor and does justice to her minuscule role. Aishwarya is an embarrassment playing a Punjabi woman. She's shouting through out the movie like a female sunny deol. Not trying to troll her but it was a beautiful role with lot of potential had it been given to an actor who could at least be fluent in Punjabi. Lead pair playing a Punjabi brother and sister are intact a Haryanvi and a Marathi. Now imagine. Randeep though a great actor is not convincing as a Punjabi sarbjit. Irfan khan played a much better sardar in his movie or for that matter.Movie has amazing story line and its even more amazing that its a true story. I would watch it to kill 2-3 hours of my free time.

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.

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.
