Title: Sarfarosh
Review: The film in an overall view is an excellent movie. And it would definitely rate high, seeing other Hindi films. It is a good change in the midst of love-oriented, sentimental action movies. Director Mathew has to be appreciated for showing the real status of Muslims in Pakistan, which very few of us know about. The character of Ghulam Hassan is very well depicted. The dialogues in the last scene are striking. The director has not let the chance for the Muslims who had moved to Pakistan during Partition in his last scene, the encounter between Ghulam Hassan and ACP Rathod. The music is good. The actor playing Inspector Salim has to be given an award for his supporting performance.
About the rest, needless to say. Rating: Good

Title: It was a welcome break!!
Review: After having so many bad releases, Sarfarosh was like "Water in desert". It was very good in all ways and Aamir was excellent. The topic was different but seemed very realistic. Another thing to be appreciated was, it showed the police in an intelligent manner. All my best wishes for the movie.. Well done, John Mathew!

Review: An excellent movie which can be raved from start to finish. Aamir is the best actor in India today, a known truth which I chose to reinstate... The reason being, in the movie we see ACP Rathore and not Aamir... That is brilliant.... The movie has a no-nonsense approach to it... It speaks about a bold point in a fine tune... There are many pluses in the movie... Music.. Story.. Direction... Choreography... and above all... excellent portrayal by Aamir... Naseeruddin Shah.. and Mukesh Rishi... Kudos to director John Mathew and Aamir...who have worked hard and made an masterpiece....

Title: Sarfarosh
Review: It was an excellent movie. I don't know after how many months I have such a very good movie. Actually, everything was good. Right from Aamir, Sonali, Naseer, songs, choreography, story, direction etc. Actually it was very well structured, and not even for a second did we lose interest. A very serious topic was managed with commercial variety. Full marks to everyone in the team and specially to Aamir for his excellent performance.

Title: This is just a beginning...
Review: Seems to be an excellent work as the director, writer and producer John Mathew; who lifts himself from the world of creativity & advertising leaves no stone unturned to achieve better than the best for the efforts he has pumped in to make Sarfarosh a real waving success.

Last but not least, `when love & art work together always expect a masterpiece' -- John Ruskin.

Once again congrats & all the best for the future endeavours to John Mathew -- we shall expect much more & more hits from him . . .

Title: Sarfarosh
Review: The best thing that comes out of Sarfarosh is its portrayal of the Indian Muslim. Being a Muslim myself I think this movie has a message for everybody, that not all Muslims in India are pro-Pakistani and that being a Muslim does not automatically make you Pakistani!! Excellent film. We need more directors like John Mathew who can project the secular image of India in an intelligent manner. Kudos to Aamir Khan, Mukesh Rishi and Naseeruddin Shah for an absolutely flawless performance. A must-see for those who think that Indian Muslims don't belong to India!!

Title: Sarfarosh
Review: I think this is a great film . Before this film I loved Aamir Khan for his genuine Acting , but now I respect him . He has done what our Hindu actors Amitabh And others could not do. I remember him once criticising Amitabh for not doing any film for the country when he was such a established star. His point was that once you become superstar , please just follow what you do. He has done what he promised. He has taken a big risk, as he knows that this won't be a super hit film and May not fall in line with his Romantic Image. He has played a real strong role in displaying what Pakistan is doing. He is real 'Raja Hindustani'.

Note: Mr Shahrukh, now you would have understood why he is the most loved star of today and not you as you claim.

Title:Awesome movie
Review: What do you mean by "you hope some moments were approached differently", please don't try to make hidden comments, a little more clarity will be appreciated next time. Sarfarosh is a masterpiece.

Title: Excellent and Realistic
Review: Sarfarosh is must-see film for every Indian. It clearly shows how Pakistan is waging a proxy war against India, still masking its real intentions under the name of cultural exchange. The title song is too good to miss so don't miss the beginning. The ghazal by Jagjit Singh is also superb. The film never loses its grip over the audience and is packed with thrilling moments throughout. U will certainly miss something if u miss Sarfarosh.

Title: Sarfarosh
Review: Sarfarosh is a very compact and focussed film, not deviating from its main script. It has shown that a topical story can be easily blended in mainstream cinema and keep the audience glued to their seats till very last frame.
