If aishwarya rai bachchan had modulated ger act sarbjit would have been a better film. When posters of the film carry not the face of the actor playing the titular character but the star backing the project you know exactly what you will get. Satbjit based on the story of a man incarcerated in a pakistani jail for ouer two decades while his sister fought a dogged battle for his release opts for high pitched saccharin laden melodrama the star is equally high pitched leaving the actor to bring up the rear.
Sarbjits story has been well documented he lived with his family old father wife sukh and fiercely loyal sister dalbir in a punjab village close to the indo pak border he strayed over the line one night and was nabbed by the pakistani patrol thatch when his ordeal started thrown in a box for month limbs contorted hung upside down and flayed till bloody till he was forced into a false confession and jailed.
