Reviews offer a mix of praise and criticism
The reactions online have been mixed. Some viewers called it engaging and emotional, while others found it flat and lacking depth.A user said, “#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. AVERAGE”Another shared: “#Sarzameen Did not expect that twist coming.. Else everything was flat and emotionless.. One time watchable if u have time. (Watch after keeping ur brain in locker) Overall : 3/5”

RATING – 4/5 Sarzameen comes with a HUGE twist in the end that you’ve never seen in any patriotic thriller before. Chilling and emotionally nerve cracking. #PrithvirajSukumar shows what patriotism means and #Kajol showcases true motherhood and love. #IbrahimAliKhan exceeds expectations. Overall, a super watch for patriotic cinema and thriller lovers.”
A one-time watch for some
Another viewer wrote, “#SarzameenReview: It has vibes like Mission Kashmir and Fanaa. Rating: 3/5 #Sarzameen is a one time watch film where #PrithvirajSukumaran and #Kajol pull off the dramedy very well whereas the #IbrahimAliKhan’s performance is just decent.”“The music was a big misfit imo, really poor. Now for the performances, Prithviraj did his role really well, too good for a poor script. Kajol was good too, ibrahim really surprised oth, he did a really decent job much better from his debut movie much much better.”
