Sarzameen

A movie which claims itself to be patriotic fail to deliver patriotism. It shows how a military man is emotionally driven which is totally opposite also harman who is a terrorist is not killed just because he is the son of military man. Is there any mean of the movie?

Producer and Writer must be answerable for the script...

One time watchable below average movie.could be better .still one time watchable movie.postives prthiv and Kajol acting .son character is very weak.its family emotional drama .so if you watch with family it would be better. So go and watch the movie with your family .keep your expectations at low it's only below average one.

Anwar Says: Banner of Dharma Productions, directed by Boman Irani son Kayaz Irani and cast includes Superstar Prithwiraj, Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim and one of the most talented actors Kajol, enough to be awake till 2.30 am to finish it in one go. But in spite of all the emotional angle in 500th film made on valley, it could not flourish.

Ibrahim was a real bad choice, after Nadaniyan, absolutely don't know what forced Irani to choose him as the pivotal character. Prithwiraj is excellent in emotional sequences but the biggest setback is Kajol. Director couldn't exploit her at all, not even in the twist. We have such great movies on Kashmir that even a mediocre one could not compete. Climax hardly ignite any excitement.

The only thing I am going to appreciate is the songs and music, you would not feel like using remote. Probably better option streaming on other platforms.

The much-hyped Sarzameen, a film that promised a gripping, high-stakes socio-political thriller, arrives with a resounding thud rather than a roar. Instead of a tense and immersive experience, viewers are left with a tedious, formulaic mess that struggles to justify its lengthy runtime. It's a cinematic misstep that fails on almost every conceivable level.

The primary issue lies in the convoluted and deeply unoriginal script. The narrative feels less like a finely tuned clock and more like a collection of discarded plot points awkwardly stitched together. The central mystery is so heavily telegraphed in the first act that any semblance of surprise is lost long before the climax. Subplots involving a generic family drama and a shoehorned romance not only fail to land but actively detract from the already weak main story. The pacing is glacial, with key moments stretched out to the point of exhaustion and crucial emotional beats completely glossed over, leaving the audience feeling detached and bored.

Compounding these script issues are the uninspired performances. The lead actor, often celebrated for their intensity, seems to be going through the motions here, delivering dialogue with a flat, monotonous tone. Their character lacks any real depth or motivation, making it impossible to root for them. The supporting cast fares no better, with many characters existing solely as exposition dumps or as archetypes who react in predictably clichéd ways. The palpable lack of chemistry between the leads makes their romantic arc feel entirely unearned and out of place, serving only to halt the plot's already stuttering momentum.

The direction is equally pedestrian. The camera work is static and uninspired, doing little to build tension or atmosphere. The film's washed-out color palette makes every scene feel drab and unengaging. The director appears content to rely on slow-motion shots and an overbearing background score to convey importance, rather than trusting the story or the actors to do so. In the end, Sarzameen is a monumental disappointment-a film that's neither thrilling nor emotionally resonant. Save your time and money; this "land" is not worth visiting.

This film presents a frustrating paradox. On one hand, it is a visual masterpiece, featuring absolutely beautiful and well-composed frame shots that could easily be mistaken for good storyline. The cinematography is, without a doubt, the high point of the entire production.

However, a film cannot survive on visuals alone. The sole spark of life in the narrative comes from Kajol. She is the only believable part of a story that otherwise feels completely empty.

2 Stars extra for Kajol

It's a real shame, then, that the rest of the movie falls apart because it has nothing to say. The plot is empty and feels forced, with other characters so poorly written you barely notice them. To have such a great main actress and such amazing visuals wasted on a story this dull is not just disappointing, it's very annoying. You are left with no feelings for the story, just the clear, irritating feeling that you watched two hours of a wasted chance. See it for Kajol if you have to, but don't say I didn't warn you.
