This week saw the premiere of Sara Ali Khan’s most recent movie, Ae Watan Mere Watan, on Prime Video. This is what internet users thought of it.
Reviews on Twitter for Ae Watan Mere Watan: Amazon Video This period Hindi film from India, which released on Thursday, stars Sara Ali Khan in the lead role. The film, set against the backdrop of the Quit India Movement in 1942, features Anand Tiwari, Emraan Hashmi, Sachin Khedekar, and Abhay Verma.
It’s reasonable to assume that Ae Watan Mere Watan garnered mixed to unfavorable reviews. Many people who have seen the movie have shared their thoughts about it on X (previously Twitter).
“Interesting case of Sara’s erratic performances”
“I had high hopes for Sara Ali Khan’s film, but her performance fell short,” wrote an X user. She came across as cold, detached, and lacking the necessary depth of expression, despite the job calling for a more forceful and emotionally evocative performance.”
“Ae Watan Mere Watan is a well-made film,” commented another. Serving as Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, Emraan Hashmi steals the stage. He is without a doubt the highlight of the movie. Although Sara Ali Khan gives a strong performance in several situations, it is not totally believable.”
One commenter tweeted, “Ae Watan Mere Watan is a feeble attempt at highlighting the story of an unsung hero,” criticizing the movie’s sets as “artificial-looking.” I was not able to get past the fake-looking settings and poorly lit frames, barring a solid supporting cast. It lacks emotional impact, and Sara’s peculiarly uneven performances persist.”
Ae Watan An X user also called Mere Watan “a missed opportunity”. Still, a few people enjoyed Sara in the movie. “What a phenomenal actress Sara Ali Khan is, and she proved it again by giving a solid performance as an unsung warrior,” someone tweeted.
