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.

Nice Movie.. I would recommend this movie to everyone.Great acting with Aishwarya and Randeep.In this film, Randeep and Aishwarya acting and effort was awesome.Although this movie is bit emotional but they way director present this was awesome.Many things that Indians are not aware about sarbjit are in this movie.I would not recommend this movie if you do not like pain and crying because this is full of this and even I feel this is too much in this film.if you want to know what happen with sarbjit go for the movie and plan another movie or do something else.

When posters of the film carry not the face of the actor playing the titular character but the star backing the project, you know exactly what you will get.'Sarbjit' , based on the story of a man incarcerated in a Pakistani jail for over two decades, while his sister fought a dogged battle for his release, opts for high-pitched saccharine-laden melodrama : the star is equally high-pitched, leaving the actor to bring up the rear.Sarbjit's story has been well-documented. He lived with his family—old father, wife Sukh ( Chaddha), and fiercely loyal sister Dalbir ( Rai) in a Punjab village close to the Indo-Pak border. He strayed over the line one night, and was nabbed by the Pakistani patrol. That's when his ordeal started—thrown in a box for months, limbs contorted, hung upside down and flayed till bloody, till he was forced into a false confession, and jailed.The devastated Dalbir , ever protective about her 'bhai', takes up cudgels on his behalf. And she keeps going through the long and hard grind : her appeals to officials on either side of the border fall mostly on deaf ears, with only a few light-in-the-tunnel moments.There is heft in the story. The horror of a human forced to suffer physical and mental torture, and used as a political pawn between India and Pakistan and their see-sawing relations, is wrenching. The family is caught in a terrible cleft, neither able to forget, nor properly mourn. But the treatment is cloying and sentimental, and manipulates you into weeping without actually feeling.A real-life tale which is inherently so full of drama and heart-break has no need to be artificially revved up. But mainstream Bollywood doesn't know any other way to do things. 'Sarabjit' should have been called 'Dalbir', because it is Aishwarya doing all the heavy-lifting, but to distressing little impact.First off, she is all wrong for the part, her attempts at the rural Punjabi accent slipping up every so often. And then she goes full tilt at her lines, ratcheting up the volume, to such an extent that you want to tell her to hush. When she does go silent, even if precisely for two and a half scenes, she is able to convey her pain and anguish so much better. If she had modulated her act, 'Sarbjit' would have been a better film.And of course there is the superfluous 'giddha-shiddha' : when will Bollywood make a film on Punjabi characters minus this cliché ? Richa Chaddha hovers mostly in the background, with only one or two scenes which she owns. One noble Pakistani shows up, in the shape of a lawyer ( Darshan), who believes that Sarbjit is innocent. The rest is taken over by Ms Rai, straining every sinew, delivering loud lectures to both Indians and Pakistanis, and, heaven help us, Talibanis.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. He nails the look and the accent, letting neither overpower him, and is the only reason to sit through this sagging saga.

Omung Kumar's last release was Mary Kom, Biography based on life of Boxer named Mary Kom. These time he is back with another Biography based on life of Sarbjit Singh.Sarbjit is a story of a farmer Sarbjit Singh (Randeep Hooda), who is humiliated in jail of Pakistan as being Ranjit Singh, the mastermind behind the Lahore blasts. His Sister Dalbir Kaur (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) makes efforts for freedom of her brother from Pakistan jail. A Pakistan lawyer Awias Shaikh (Darshan Kumaar) takes over case of Sarbjit to set him free from Pakistan jail.Omung Kumar's direction is of top class. The torture sequences of Sarbjit will disturb your mind, but Omung tries to show the fact that how Sarbjit was tortured in Pakistan jail. Another scene, when Dalbir and her family gets chance to meet Sarbjit, that meeting scene touches your heart and makes you emotional.Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has given one of the best performance of her career. She has delivered excellent performance in role of Dalbir Kaur. Randeep Hooda is Outstanding in role of Sarbjit Kaur. First Class performance by Randeep.Overall, Sarbjit was an Excellent Drama that will hook you till end with Outstanding Performances of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Randeep Hooda. A well made movie for matured audience. Must watch.
