A user called the movie shocking, patriotic and emotional and in a post on X stated, 'Sarzameen comes with a HUGE twist in the end that you've never seen in any patriotic thriller before. Chilling and emotionally nerv cracking. #PrithvirajSukumar shows what patriotism means and #Kajol showcases true motherhood and love. #IbrahimAliKhan exceeds expectations.'
Praising Prithviraj Sukumar and Kajol's performance another user stated, 'Ibrahim Ali Khan is a misfit, emotionless facial reactions. Kashmir Visuals r beautiful. Familiar Story with an interesting Climax. Thr r emotions & patriotism in film, but couldnt connect to it due to weak writing. BELOW AVERAGE!'
A third user called it average and stated, '#Sarzameen had a solid premise but failed to deliver. Weak screenplay and direction let it down. Prithvi, Kajol & the rest of the cast did well, but there was no real emotional connect. Overall, a mid watch with no standout moments.'
A fourth comment read, 'It has vibes like Mission Kashmir and Fanaa…. Sarzameen is a one time watch film where #PrithvirajSukumaran and #Kajol pull off the dramedy very well whereas the #IbrahimAliKhan's performance is just decent. He has to learn more but I think that with time, everything will be okay'
IMDb description states, 'An Army officer will stop at nothing to free Kashmir valley from terrorism, even if it means paying a terrible price.'
