Sarbjit fails to establish a coherent narrative
Review by: The National
Critic ReviewRating: 0.0 / 10
The movie transforms into a campaign film, not for Singh but for all prisoners languishing behind bars because of hostile political relations between countries – as if one case means everyone has suffered an injustice simply because of their passport. It seems a tenuous argument.
A truly heart-wrenching story

Rai Bachchan and Hooda are truly gems to watch sharing screen space and the former has shown that she’s definitely back
It has immense poignancy at its heart!

Critic ReviewRating: 6.0 / 10
Randeep Hooda’s physical transformation as a traumatized prisoner is astonishing and convincing. He invests life-enforcing power into his role of a man who is locked away from home until his death.
Richa Chadha and Randeep Hooda keep this film afloat with their performances.

Sarbjit fails to rise above its commercial nature to actually hit you in the gut with its real story.
Watch it only if you are an Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan fan no matter what.

The script seems more intent on giving the heroine a platform to holler and hector her way though than on crafting a balanced narrative that tracks the impact of Sarabjit's disappearance on the family as a whole.
BRUTAL AND HEART-WRENCHING

Critic ReviewRating: 7.0 / 10
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, as Dalbir Kaur, has also done a fair job. Her character demanded her to be one strong woman yet an emotionally fragile lady at the same time, and she has managed to do so well. There are some wow and some not-so-wow scenes of Aishwarya, and she carries the film on her shoulders.
It’s laudable, but Omung Kumar’s film feels too contrived and never becomes powerfully evocative

However Randeep Hooda is nimble footed here. His deterioration in the Pakistani jail is shockingly brutal and well acted. The violence is gritty and real. The scenes that have been orchestrated to underline the closeness between the siblings touch a raw nerve.
A half-baked plot and screechy Ash let down a fiery Randeep

Critic ReviewRating: 5.0 / 10
only and only for Randeep's sparkling performance, we suggest you don’t miss Sarbjit. He makes his pain your own with his pitch-perfect rendering. Well, only if good intentions could make good films, Randeep’s efforts wouldn’t be lost in the dance and drama of this humdrum feat. For all the effort he has put into this movie, he definitely deserved better.
Searching for Sarbjit
Review by: The Hindu
Critic ReviewRating: 0.0 / 10
Omung Kumar is unable to fashion an affecting script out of more than two decades of a family’s futile fight against the political and diplomatic machinery. Instead of a coherent narrative the film feels utterly disjointed, more like a random stringing together of sequences which at times seem have no bearing on each other. The film moves in fits and spurts, without a focus, in all directions and back and forth in time. The characters and relationships are sketchily grounded.
