SAJJAN SINGH TRAILER REVIEW
The trailer of Sajjan Singh Rangroot opens to a Hollywood style cinematography and shows tired and scared soldiers on an alien land, defying a territory that is against them, on their own homeland India, as said by Yograj Singh in the trailer that they need to win this war to get freedom from the British rule in India. Yograj Singh breathes in the much needed roar into the trailer and Diljit Dosanjh delivers performance, not only through his body but also his eyes. Other actors, though only a little of them could be seen, promise to be worthy of attention. Sunanda Sharma will have to prove herself in the film as the trailer didn't really get us any shade of her character in the film. A war zone, bombings, guns and killings is what was projected on screen but frankly speaking, it just didn't give us an adrenaline rush but we truly hope that the film is way more than what we expect it to be. Pankaj Batra's direction, in terms of a war film, is a first timer and we look forward to seeing the full projection.
Yeah..this one dialogue did stay with us 'Saade dulle khoon di koi kadar vi paugi'.
