Pataudi. In her message, Saba poured her heart out, expressing regret for not being able to attend the premiere but assuring her presence in spirit. 'So proud of you already and always will be. Love you, my nephew,' she wrote.
Our verdict
As the film is out on OTT, take a look at our official ETimes review which read, "Prithviraj Sukumaran delivers a strong performance as a man torn between duty and family. Kajol brings depth to her role as the mother and handles her character arc with finesse. Ibrahim Ali Khan shows promise, especially in scenes of vulnerability and angst, but his characterisation leaves much to be desired. Sarzameen had all the ingredients for a compelling emotional thriller—an evocative backdrop, a promising premise, and a capable cast.
However, a superficial narrative and weak execution turn it into a missed opportunity. Despite a few well-acted moments, the film fails to leave a lasting impact. It's a middling watch at best, and one that can easily be skipped."

Kajol opens up on cosmetic surgery, says it's a personal choice not to be judged
Actor Kajol, who is currently earning accolades for her latest release 'Sarzameen' with Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan, recently opened up about her views on cosmetic surgery, botox, and ageing in a conversation. The 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' actor emphasised that such choices are deeply personal and should not be judged, whether someone is in the limelight or an interview with Filmfare, Kajol said, 'To go under the knife or not go under the knife is everybody's personal journey. It is everybody's personal choice and that should be left to them - whether they are in the limelight or they aren't in the limelight. It is a personal choice, as to what works for you and what doesn't work for you.'advertisementBreaking the common belief that cosmetic treatments are only for women, Kajol pointed out that many men also go for these procedures. 'And let me just clarify it - it is not gender-relevant. There are a lot of men who are doing it as well. In fact, equal amounts, I would say. Men who you probably do not know about or don't even want to comment on this particular stage,' she added. Talking about ageing, Kajol shared a positive view, saying it's a privilege and not something to worry about. "Ageing, as far as I am concerned, is in the mind. The privilege of ageing is that you can do it. There are a lot of people who don't. There are a lot of people who've died young and never had the chance to age at all. That doesn't mean they're lucky. That just means they didn't have the chance to age and come forward in life. So yes, I have that many more wonderful years to live forward. And I'm looking forward to it,' the actor the work front, Kajol is being praised for her role as Meher in 'Sarzameen', directed by Kayoz Irani. She was last seen in 'Maa', a touching drama directed by Vishal Furia, where she starred alongside Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma. 'Maa' had hit theatres on June 27.- EndsMust Watch

Kajol Says Going Under The Knife Is Not Just For Women: ‘A Lot Of Men Are Doing It Too'
Kajol says going under the knife is a personal choice and not gender-specific. The Sarzameen actress also shares an empowering view on aging, calling it a rare privilege. Actress Kajol, currently riding high on the praise for her latest release Sarzameen alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan, recently opened up about the ongoing conversation around cosmetic surgery, botox, and how she personally approaches aging. In a candid conversation with Filmfare as part of their In The Ring series, Kajol was asked about her views on going under the knife. She responded with grace and clarity, saying, 'To go under the knife or not go under the knife is everybody's personal journey. It is everybody's personal choice and that should be left to them — whether they are in the limelight or they aren't in the limelight. It is a personal choice, as to what works for you and what doesn't work for you." Challenging the assumption that cosmetic procedures are limited to women, Kajol emphasized that it's an equally relevant choice for men, 'And let me just clarify it — it is not gender relevant. There are a lot of men who are doing it as well. In fact, equal amounts, I would say. Men who you probably do not know about or don't even want to comment on this particular stage. So, I would say that it is definitely something that is a personal choice." When the conversation turned to aging, Kajol offered a philosophical and empowering perspective. She dismissed the notion that aging should be feared or avoided, and instead called it a privilege, 'And aging, as far as I am concerned, is in the mind. The privilege of aging is that you can do it. There are a lot of people who don't. There are a lot of people who've died young and never had the chance to age at all. That doesn't mean they're lucky. That just means they didn't have the chance to age and come forward in life. So yes, I have that many more wonderful years to live forward. And I'm looking forward to it." On the work front, Kajol is receiving widespread acclaim for her latest film Sarzameen, directed by Kayoz Irani. Prior to this, she starred in Maa, a poignant drama helmed by Vishal Furia, where she shared the screen with Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma.
