I'm very glad that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's second career is not built only on likable films. After proving that she is back in form with the thriller Passion, she made the drama Sarbjit based on true events and thus received another Filmfare nomination, her eleventh in a row. A drama about the India-Pakistan conflict, it follows the story of the family of Sarabjit Singh, who through a series of unfortunate events is sent from a Punjabi village to a Pakistani jail under the identity of a terrorist. His sister (Aishwarya Rai) and his wife (Richa Chadha) are the protagonists. The film doesn't celebrate an improbable happy ending; instead, it speaks to an unresolved issue after 23 years of hardship and disappointment. Only a small portion of the thousands of detainees being tortured on both sides of the Punjab border have any prospect of being freed. Sarbjit is a film that should not be ignored by anyone who still thinks that the whole of cinematic India is just dancing. In Pakistani cinema, films have dealt with a similar theme: In the Name of God (2007), Ramchand: The Untouchable Pakistani (2008) or Bol (2011). Compared to these films, the message of humanism is just as important, but Sarbjit is also made much more professionally.
