Ibrahim Ali Khan's Sarzameen Had 'Loopholes', Says Director Kayoze Irani: ‘But The Audience Was Forgiving'
Sarzameen director Kayoze Irani responds to criticism over Ibrahim Ali Khan's role and narrative flaws. He admits changes he would make and says audiences were forgiving. Ibrahim Ali Khan's second film, Sarzameen, premiered last month on JioHotstar, marking another major step in the star kid's early career. But much like his debut Nadaaniyan, the film has triggered a flurry of mixed responses. While some have praised the film's emotional ambition, others have pointed to narrative shortcomings and uneven performances. Directed by Kayoze Irani, son of veteran actor Boman Irani, Sarzameen is set in the fraught landscape of Kashmir and explores the moral conflict between a father and his radicalised son. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Kayoze addressed the polarized feedback with refreshing honesty. 'I'm extremely happy with the audience reaction to the film. I think that the (viewership) numbers are doing very well. The overall audience perception and the feedback that I've been getting are good," he said. 'There have been some criticisms. There have been some reviews that are critical, which is fair. What is important is to learn from it and move forward, but I'm genuinely overwhelmed. I feel that if it's managed to touch a few people, I can't be happier than that." The filmmaker added that while he naturally hopes for glowing reviews and unprecedented success, he's realistic about the learning curve. 'Ideally, you want every review to be five stars, and you want the box office collection to be unheard of. But this will not be my only film. There's something that I can learn from it, and I will apply that in the next one." Kayoze also acknowledged the flaws that critics have pointed out. 'Are there a few loopholes in the film? Maybe! Are there a few things that could have been done differently? Maybe. But the important thing is that the film worked on a larger level, and they were forgiving of a few of the issues." When asked what he would change if he could revisit the film, Kayoze candidly shared, 'One thing that I would have done differently with Sarzameen was bringing Ibrahim into the film a little earlier, and I would have had more of the cat-and-mouse chase before he is discovered. These are the two things I would have done differently." Sarzameen follows the story of an Indian Army officer—played by Prithviraj Sukumaran—whose worst fears come true when he learns that his estranged son, portrayed by Ibrahim Ali Khan, has joined a militant group. The film attempts to explore generational trauma, ideological conflicts, and fractured familial bonds against the backdrop of a volatile region. Kajol also stars in the film in a supporting role, which has drawn its own share of criticism for its underwritten arc. Despite its imperfections, Sarzameen seems to have found a niche audience. As Kayoze Irani puts it, 'If it's managed to touch a few people, I can't be happier than that." First Published: August 02, 2025, 17:58 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Acting always feels like my first job: Randeep Hooda
Actor and filmmaker Randeep Hooda has opened up about the emotional and psychological challenges that come with his craft. Despite his years in the industry, the actor admits that acting never gets easier and that each role brings with it a renewed sense of fear and uncertainty. Speaking about his mindset before taking on a new role, Randeep said, 'If you're not uncertain and you're not feeling like, 'Oh my God, this time they're going to discover that I don't know anything about acting,' then you're not doing it right. That is what keeps me on my toes. It always feels like I'm doing my first job.' When asked what he finds more powerful — an actor's spoken lines or the silences in between — Randeep reflected, 'Whatever you say are just your thoughts. And most of us try to hide our thoughts or don't completely say what we mean. Speaking is the last form of any communication between two human beings.' On the film front, Randeep is set to headline the upcoming war drama Operation Khukri, based on the book Operation Khukri: The Untold Story of the Indian Army's Bravest Peacekeeping Mission Abroad by Major General Rajpal Punia and Damini Punia. The film will depict the real-life rescue of 233 Indian soldiers held hostage in Sierra Leone in 2000. Randeep also has a key role in Matchbox, an American action-adventure comedy directed by Sam Hargrave and inspired by the popular toy brand. The film, set for a fall 2026 release, stars John Cena, Jessica Biel, Danai Gurira, and others. With both national and international projects in the pipeline, Randeep Hooda continues to push boundaries — with the same nervous excitement that marked the beginning of his journey.
