Sardaar ji is a film that begins off with a blast, the entertaining parody tricks by Diljit and a one of a kind story for Punjabi silver screen, of Diljit being an apparition buster abandons one with a great deal of expectation. Yet, soon the story loses steam, and transforms into an unoriginal love triangle.
Likewise at commonly the screenplay and story have enormous plot holes, and things simply don’t bode well, yet all is spared by Diljit Dosanj’s perfect comic timing, and he carries the houses down with his comic drama. Other then his execution no one else gets much degree. What else works in the movies support is that Sardaar ji is a spotless family performer playing a character of a ghost buster in the film, so accomplishment in the cinema world is likely then. Overall the film breaks no new ground yet its an agreeable comic family performer.
Not that there is nothing that redeems Sardaarji. It sure has some well thought-out plot points: Like the smart touch to the back stories of the principal characters. In fact, these stories add a lot of value to an otherwise run-of-the-mill presentation. At places, even the film’s dialogues try to restrict it from going off-track. It’s all about the timing in Sardaar Ji and Diljit is good at it.
It has a really good punjabi music.
Sardaar Ji is completely dependent on Diljit Dosanjh’s stardom, and he doesn’t disappoint. But the film loses its sheen somewhere in the second half. Mandy Takhar is fresh and it’s good to see such actresses on screen who look like normal women and not like another size zero model. But she has to learn a lot when it comes to acting.
The 150-minute-long Sardaar Ji can be a fun watch provided you don’t watch it with a very critical eye.
