Sarzameen Twitter reviews: Viewers find Ibrahim Ali Khan ‘miscast' in ‘average' patriotic drama ft. Kajol, Prithviraj
Did Ibrahim Ali Khan fare better than Nadaaniyan?
Ibrahim's debut performance in Nadaaniyan received a lot of criticism upon release earlier this year. Did he fare better this time? A viewer who saw the film did not think so: 'Good performances from Prithviraj & Kajol. Ibrahim Ali Khan is a misfit, emotionless facial reactions. Kashmir visuals are beautiful. Familiar Story with an interesting climax. There are emotions & patriotism in film, but could not connect to it due to weak writing. BELOW AVERAGE!'
Another viewer reviewed, 'Sarzameen is a below average thriller. Could have been more intense and gripping.'
Weak screenplay fails to deliver
Many also pointed out that the film is saddled with a weak screenplay. 'Sarzameen had a solid premise but failed to deliver. Weak screenplay and direction let it down. Prithvi, Kajol & the rest of the cast did well, but there was no real emotional connect. Overall, a mid watch with no standout moments,' read a review from a viewer who was left disappointed after watching the film.
Another review noted, '#Sarzameen is an above average film especially for the performances of @itsKajolD @PrithviOfficial and a sincere #IbrahimAliKhan . The familiar storyline and treatment and dejavu to mission Kashmir cannot be ignored. A sincere attempt nevertheless. Watchable.'
Praise for Kajol and Prithviraj
Many viewers praised the performances of Kajol and Prithviraj. 'All I can say is Kajol absolutely nailed it. What a phenomenal actress... Same for Prithviraj, they were both amazing! Even without fully understanding the language, they made me feel everything,' wrote a viewer.
A second review read, 'Sarzameen failed to impress. Still waiting for Ibrahim Ali Khan good movie. Prithvi sir and Kajol ma'am do their job very well but not enough. Weak screenplay, weak direction. The movie is too slow.'
Sarzameen revolves around one family in Kashmir where Prithviraj Sukumaran plays a strict and upright army officer, who admits that he is embarrassed of his son, in front of his wife (played by Kajol). Years later, their son Harman (Ibrahim Ali Khan) is revealed to be a threat as he gets involved with terrorists. The film is backed by Dharma Productions. Soumil Shukla and Arun Singh wrote the story and screenplay. Kayoze Irani directed the film.

'I was in hospital after giving birth and received a message: 'You're fired.' I'd just filmed the previous day. They waited for me to be hospitalised before informing me.

In the video, Nysa is seen wearing the traditional graduation robe over a lilac dress, beaming as she walks up to the stage to receive her degree. While a few applauded, it was Kajol's enthusiastic cheer, 'Come on, baby!" that stood out the most. Her cheer even drew laughter from Nysa's teachers on stage. A fan shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter), writing, 'Congratulations Nysa!!! (In the chaos of hundreds, I can actually hear Kajol's 'C'mon babyyyy!!' so clearly)."

Some of the time, yes, that common sense flies out the window. But I'm able to get through to her, and we figure out situations together. I'm very grateful to have her in my life. She's wonderful, snarky, has a great sense of humour, and a very different perspective on life and the world compared to me. It always amazes me – she often takes me aback with her thoughts." Meanwhile, Kajol was last seen in Vishal Furia's film Maa, co-starring Indraneil Sengupta, Kherin Sharma and Ronit Roy. The film is co-produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande, and will be distributed by Jio Studios and Devgn Films.
