SARBJIT

The emotion of hate is at its ugliest when its roots are in love. In life too we notice that many times acute hatred is nothing but pure emotion which got misplaced and misunderstood. Siblings fighting court battles, couples getting a divorce or even two warring nations which were one, once upon a time. Based on the true life of Sarbjit Singh, Sarbjit rekindles and fans the Indo-Pak animosity fire. This film tells the story of this love and hate between two very emotional nations. And in the events of hatred it is always the innocent that gets destroyed. This great tragedy has always been a reality since the time mankind existed.  An innocent man is captured, tortured, mutilated and wrongfully convicted. His relentless sister fights till his last breath, taking the fight to the mighty and powerful of the two nations. Mankind has always celebrated triumph, victory, happiness and success with pomp and vigor. This film celebrates tragedy, sorrow, melancholy and misery of a man and his family. What makes the story more tragic is the suffering for no fault of the victim.

 Randeep Hooda has reached a new level of performance which was awesome and grand. Every artist is supposed to be competing with himself and not anyone else. Randeep is surely taking huge strides in winning this contest. Aishwarya gives a heartening and sincere performance and happens to be the star of the film. The sheer hard work and dedication is obvious however, it just doesn’t hit home and delight. If only Riccha Chadda could have replaced her, this film would be legendary. Riccha has the intensity and talent to match Randeep’s passion and would have given the audience an experience to remember. The very few scenes she has actually acted in have added impact to the flow. The film does seem to drag because of the tragic story, however kudos to Omung Kumar who tries to show the reality of the story. Pakistan has been shunned in many scenes adding to the emotiveness of the whole issue which only can make things difficult. The fight and struggle is overbearing and heavy leaving a melancholic effect. Not a must watch, but if u like a biopic and history, go for it.
