I was eagerly awaiting this movies release to really see what happened to Sarbjit and the trauma and hardship his sister Dalbir endured and i was totally satisfied with the movie. With world class acting done by Aishwarya, Randeep and Richa this movie was an emotional ride. Aishwarya was soo good in this movie that i could totally see what the real Dalbir went through, though the punjabi accent could have been improved but that doesn't take away from the acting poweress of Aish. Randeep was perfect to the T, he was on fire with the talent he has and he showcased it brilliantly. And last but not the least Richa leaves a lasting impact. Overall this movie deserves to win all the awards.

Excellent Movie. Great Story, and executed nicely. 2 mistakes: - Aish Rai: Poor acting. If they could have switched Richa Chadda and Aish, Richa would have done a must better acting. It was an excellent role, and good acting would have raised this role to another level. - Too Long. They could have cut it short to 1.5 hours.2 great things: - Randeep Hooda - Amazing Acting. - Execution of Story to be told.Songs were not needed, Aish acting as a leader not needed. Richa should have given more time in the movie. She is a good actress. Randeep Hooda could have spent more time on screen. Movie was more about Aish then Sarabjit.

Very emotional and heart breaking. Touches the heart with strong emotions and makes you cry again and again. Anyways thanks, Azim Hussain for going through the last page. The painfully sad and disturbing narratives left my head reeling. The story set in Manu Majra, a small village on the border of India and Pakistan. The village is inhabited by both Sikhs and Muslims who had been living together with peace and tranquility since long. To them, independence matters little. In their words - " Freedom is for the educated people who fought for it. We were slaves of the English, now we will be slaves of the English, now we will be slaves of the English, now we will be slaves of the English, now we will be slaves of the English, now we will be slaves of the English, now we will be slaves of the English, now we will be slaves of the English, now we will be slaves of your choice and then you should know by tomorrow afternoon or early tomorrow and will continue on to a needy. I have just got my new favorite of the day. The street is only 10 minutes walking distance away from the hotel where we stayed and still I couldn't get there because I needed to spend money very good condition of your choice of words and the largest one of the purest.

Sarabjit Singh. Google this name, and you'd get a history on him. On his journey from being a nobody in Punjab, to being falsely imprisoned in Pakistan for 23 years, on how much his Sister fought for his innocence & bring him back home, only to breath his last, after he was attacked by his inmates at the jail. Its a horrifying story & Director Omang Kumar takes the chance to narrate it with 'Sarbjit'.Honestly, 'Sarbjit' is a tragedy so heartbreaking, it must be true. Cinematically, the biopic unfolds affectingly, albeit with a few flaws in its writing, but what stands tall here, despite the blemishes, is Randeep Hooda, who's portrayal of Sarbjit, is simply unforgettable. 'Sarbjit' starts off with disappearance of Sarbjit (Randeep Hooda) back in 1990. That's when his Sister Dalbir (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), & Wife Sukhpreet (The Wonderful Richa Chaddha) start a search on him. After 6 months of being clueless, Dalbir receives a letter from her missing brother & later learns that, at the night of his disappearance, he accidentally crossed the border after having a couple of drinks. However, he has been mistaken to be an Indian spy and has been going through severe torture in a jail in Pakistan. And thus, begins Dalbir's struggle to prove her brother's innocence & bring him back home, which sadly lasted for 23 years & also cost Sarbjit his life. 'Sarbjit' has its share of powerful moments. And by powerful, I even mean emotionally. Its hard not to get a lump in your throat in the sequence when Sarbjit meets his family after 18 long years. Even the sequences where Sarbjit is tortured, are difficult to watch. But, despite the film being called 'Sarbjit', the narrative is more on Dalbir's relentless pursuit to free her brother form injustice. Its truly affecting to see Dalbir fight & never give up, despite political pressures & racial matters, That being said, this is a depressing film, so I'd suggest you only to watch this biopic, if you have the heart for it.Utkarshini Vashishtha & Rajesh Beri's Screenplay re-tells a true human tragedy, with some really arresting moments. However, I found the second-hour a bit less captivating as compared to the first-hour. The pace slackens in the second-hour & hence, the impact overall, somehow gets affected. Nonetheless, the goings-on are mostly engaging. Omang Kumar's Direction is a bit loud, but he has handled some sequences very well. Cinematography is fair. Editing is also decently done. Background Score is fabulous. Make-Up is nicely done. Performance-Wise: Randeep Hooda is the heartbeat of 'Sarbjit'. As the innocent man imprisoned wrongfully, Hooda transforms into a man, physically & mentally, who despite all the horror, never lost his humanity. This is a performance driven by pure talent & commitment. This is Hooda at his finest! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Dalbir, delivers an earnest performance. She justifies her part, expressing genuine frustration & helplessness. Richa Chaddha is quietly devastating as Sarbjit's wife, displaying a range of emotions with her piercing eyes. She's superb! Darshan Kumar as Awais Sheikh, A Pakistan Lawyer who defends Sarbjit, shines in a brief role. Others lend good support.On the whole, 'Sarbjit' is compelling in parts, but Hooda soars!
