MOVIE REVIEW: Sarzameen had all the ingredients for a gripping patriotic drama. But it’s predictable, emotionally hollow, and ultimately exhausting to sit through. With a story that had the potential to strike a chord with viewers, the film could have been a compelling watch. Unfortunately, weak writing, uninspired direction, and sluggish pacing weigh it down from the very start.
The biggest culprit behind Sarzameen’s failure is its below par performances and weak screenplay packed with unrealistic plot points. The direction is equally uninspired, lacking any real cinematic flair or purpose. The film tries to juggle emotion and action, aiming for nationalistic fervor while touching on personal sacrifice.
Prithviraj Sukumaran gives the film his all. He’s a committed actor and tries hard to bring intensity to his role. However, even his sincere effort can’t rise above the muddled writing. Ibrahim Ali Khan looks convincing in action sequences but struggles with his dialogue delivery and emotional scenes fall flat. Kajol feels entirely underused here. Other supporting actors gave below-average performances.
