Sardar Ka Grandson (2021)
A story of a romance that spans seven decades and two countries, a story of sub-continental hustling and earthy ingenuity, a story of victory against impossible odds. 'Sardar Ka Grandson' is a strange and sweet tale where petty egos, religion, enmity, borders and oceans of red tape are all finally defeated by the simple humanity of one determined man.

      Irritating

      1st 5 minutes n will get to know how much torture u r going to face. Poor screenplay,very irritating stereotype punjabi BGM every now n then hoping to ads some fun to so called funny scenes which in return,ended up making it more terrible. Again arjun kapoor has proved why he is so irritating performer (I won't call him an actor). He is expressionless in every scene. Another bizarre thing u will notice is the high pitch of this movie. Every character is talking at a high pitch which is so irrelevant n irritating to the ears as well.

      Neena gupta ji tried a lot to save this movie but what to do if story telling is so poorly executed,but still u wait for her scenes. Aditi rao as a young sardaar is like a fresh air. She deserves more projects.

      Missed opportunity of the century

      The casting and the story of the movie was amazing. It's unfortunate that the makers failed to capitalize. Dialogues are tacky, story progression is not organic.

      Nina Gupta's acting is standout, rest of the movie is below average.

      This is it. Arjun Kapoor should stop acting.

      Sardar Ka Grandson is one movie that you need to avoid. The trailer looked bad and the movie is nothing but a non-stop trail of a poor and sketchy story that does not entertain.

      Netflix has to rethink its strategy regarding Hindi movies. They are good with their English shows and foreign titles but they have bad Hindi movies in their catalog. Drive. Mrs. Serial Killer. Ginny Weds Sunny. Chopsticks. House Arrest. Maska. The Girl on the Train and now, this one.

      Arjun Kapoor- Our so-called hero is the main reason why this movie is a complete failure. He is lazy as an actor. There is not a single shot where he is trying to impress you. Further, the writing is poor where we don't see meaty roles and dialogues.

      John and Aditi managed to offer some relief. They look good as a couple. Further, you have Neena Gupta as the Dadi and Kanwaljeet Singh as Arjun's father and Neena's son. Don't have any major expectations here as they all have sketchy roles but at least, they look a little genuine.

      The whole scenario where Arjun is in Pakistan is the worst part of the movie. The scenes and most importantly, the idea of lifting a century-old house looks plain stupid. I was hoping for some real sense but Nah, the makers did not make any effort here.

      The premise is cheesy.

      The twists are boring.

      The pace is lackluster.

      This kind of Bollywood is uninspired.

      Please, do NOT watch this one.

      Why Arjun kapoor .. why?

      There are many talented actors, so why pick someone who has zero expression and a confused reaction on his face all the time? If tall actors were needed, there is Vicky and his brother sunny who can act. Love you Neena Gupta. Stopped watching mid_way. Watch Army of the dead. Zombies act better than Arjun.

      Brilliant in patches, worth a watch

      Rather oddly, this movie has been rated very low by masses. While the storyline is a bit off the beaten path and needs some engineering crash course to be palatable, the concept and context are fairly respectable. The acting suite led by the inimitable Neena Gupta and always impressive Kumud Mishra does a fair job of executing upon the script which sometimes stalls for no convincing reason. Brilliant in her two bit role Rakul Preet Singh is unable to rub off on Arjun Kapoor who still punches above his weight. In their cameo John Abraham and Aditi Rao Hydari put in an impressive show.

      Overall, the promising story is a bit shortchanged by the script. Yet, the movie is absolutely worth a watch. If nothing the comical plots and the punchy oke liners provide adequate entertainment for a rather lacklustre Bollywood season so far.
