PERFORMANCES: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan delivers a performance of a lifetime. She imbibes the ageing facet beautifully and extremely gracefully. She has delivered a flawless performance.She does total justoice to her deglamorous role very efficiently.Randeep Hooda is outstanding. The gradual ageing process exacerbated by terrible torture borne by a battered body has been portrayed brilliantly by Hooda. He doesn't hesitate in showing the ugly reality or the constant oscillation between sanity and losing his mind.Richa Chaddha never tries to compete with Aishwarya or Randeep but her silence speaks volumes. She makes a solid impact.
MUSIC: composed by Jeet Gannguli, Amaal Mallik, Tanishk Bagchi ,Shail-Pritesh,Shashi Shivam.Dard is composed by Jeet Ganguly and superbly sung by Sonu Nigam.Salaamat is composed by Amal Malik and craftily sung by Arijit Singh stay with you long after the movie is over.
Despite of brilliant performances by the leading actors,the movie lags pace in some places.The script & narration could have better.
The story is more about Dalbir than Sarbjit.
Overall,Sarbjit is surely watchable for brilliant performances by the leading actors & heart warming story.
