Amitabh Bachchan @SrBachchan, actor : ‘Sarabjit’ a moving dynamic tale of reality .. intense and performed with great finesse and credibility .. Many congratulations .. at the premiere with the entire family .. !!!
Taran Adarsh, film critic: Watched #Sarbjit. A film that leaves you with myriad feelings… Shocked, stunned, saddened at the ordeal Sarbjit and his family underwent…Omung Kumar chooses a tough subject and narrates it most compellingly. Captures pain, pathos, emotions meticulously…#Sarbjit grabs your attention from start and never loses track. Intense episodes, emotional undercurrent, simmering rage are a big plus… Aishwarya delivers a true to life, forceful performance, lending her character strength and dignity. Takes giant strides as an actor… Randeep Hooda portrays the emotions – affection, sorrow, angst, frustration, helplessness – remarkably. A towering act indeed… Richa Chadha is top notch. Darshan Kumar is pitch perfect. #Sarbjit shakes you up as it reaches the finale. Relevant, engaging and volatile!
Rajkumar Hirani, Director: Saw #Sarbjit. Hard hitting and heart wrenching. Who said life is fair? Well done @OmungKumar #AishwaryaRai @RandeepHooda @RichaChadha_
Imitaz Ali, Director: “Heartening to see a fearless attempt into a realistic character by perhaps the most glamorous leading lady in the Bombay film industry! Ash impresses with an earnest performance in an earnest movie!”
Shekhar G, Journlist, Unforgettable & haunting @RandeepHooda in dark cell & @RichaChadha_ silently putting away dead husband’s belongings. Fine cinema #Sarabjit. Reviews unkind to #Sarabjit Fine biopic. Not fictionally hyper-patriotic like Airlift. Leaves a deep impression. Bravely anchored, Aishwarya
