About Movie Sarbjit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director Omung Kumar of 2014 sports biopic Mary Com fame has roped in former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for this biopic on Sarabjit Singh, a farmer residing at Bhikiwind, Punjab, near the Indo-Pak border. Singh, drunk heavily, accidentally crosses the border and is mistaken to be an Indian spy. He is further sentenced to capital punishment in Pakistan. Sarbjit movie is the journey of his sister, Dalbir Kaur, who leaves no stone unturned in the fight for the release of her brother from a Pakistani jail. The makers of Sarbjit definitely deserve applauds for attempting to tell a story that isn\u2019t known to every Indian.<\/p>\n

Plot<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sarbjit Singh (played by Randeep Hooda) is a resident of a village near Punjab and lives with his wife Sukhpreet(played by Richa Chadha), two daughters Poonam Kaur(played by Ankita Srivasthav) and Swapandeep Kaur, sister Dalbir Kaur(played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) and father. One day, Sarbjit unknowingly crosses the Indo-Pak border and gets arrested by the Pakistani army. He is then tortured, convicted as an Indian Spy and alleged as Manjit Singh (main culprit behind bomb blasts in Lahore).<\/p>\n

It is Sarbjit\u2019s sister Dalbir Kaur who fights with the Pakistani Government for nearly 23 years before Sarbjit is declared innocent. Awais Shiekh(played by Darshan Kumar) fights Sarbjit\u2019s case and after the accused farmer, Sarbjit is given bail, he is attacked by jail inmates, gets heavily injured, is hospitalized and finally breathes his last.<\/p>\n

Performances<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bollywood beauty, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (as Sarbjit\u2019s elder sister, Dalbir Kaur) has delivered a performance of a lifetime. She has imbibed the ageing facet in a phenomenal manner. Her dialogues are powerful and bound to leave a deep impact on the audience\u2019s mind. As the movie progress, Aishwarya(Dalbir) has showcased a power-packed performance with scenes that make her character even more believable.<\/p>\n

Playing the lead is Randeep Hooda(Sarbjit Singh), who too, has been truly outstanding throughout the flick. Acting as a doting brother, he has been extremely affluent in displaying the ugly reality of how Indian prisoners were treated in Pakistani jails during that time period. His character is extremely appealing and the audience would connect with him instantly.<\/p>\n

Then, there is Richa Chadha(Sarbjit\u2019s wife, Sukhpreet) who hasn\u2019t tried to compete with veterans, Randeep Hooda and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She has been successful in making a solid impact by being silent in most of her scenes. Ankita Srivastav(Sarbjit\u2019s younger daughter, Poonam) has excelled in portraying her intense character in a superb way. Finally, there is Darshan Kumar (Sarbjit\u2019s lawyer) who has done complete justice to his character of a liberal Pakistani lawyer.<\/p>\n

Sarbjit Music<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sarbjit comes with an extremely emotional album. It opens with \u201cSalamat\u201d composed by Amaal Mallik. Tulsi Kumar\u2019s verses have perfectly blended with Arijit Singh\u2019s rendition to make it a beautiful track. Next is \u201cDard\u201d which is again a sad number, sung by super singer Sonu Nigam. Adding masala <\/em>to the music album of Sarbjit is \u201cTung Lak\u201d which is a peppy dance number with a tint of bhangra. Sukhwinder Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shail Hada have put in their best efforts to make this track a chartbuster.<\/p>\n

\u201cRabba\u201d is excellently sung by Shafqat Amanat Ali and other tracks including \u201cMeherban\u201d, \u201cBarsan Laagi\u201d, \u201cAllah Hu Allah\u201d, \u201cNindiya\u201d and \u201cMera Junoon\u201d go well with different scenes incorporated into this flick. All in all, the soundtrack of Sarbjit fits to the theme in an impressive way.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Good?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Superb performances by Aishwarya and Randeep are worth appreciation. Sarbjit has a solid plot, which has been intelligently portrayed on-screen. Accompanied by crisp direction by Omung Kumar, Sarbjit is surely going to touch your heart.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Bad?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Forced melodrama and an irritating background score are the two major downsides of Sarbjit. In addition to this, Aishwarya\u2019s screechy dialogue delivery has also not been appreciated by the audiences.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n

Irrespective of having a good plot, Sarbjit hasn\u2019t been good enough in doing complete justice to the original Sarbjit issue. However, if you are an Aishwarya or Randeep Hooda fan, then watching this flick is something you can do this weekend.<\/p>\n
