SARBJIT – AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE SET TO GRIP NATIONS GLOBALLY
Releasing Worldwide on 19th May in UAE and 20th May 2016 in other international markets by Grand Showbiz Media & Entertainment
SARBJIT, the true life story of Sarabjit Singh, an Indian farmer who inadvertently crossed the India border into Pakistan, subsequently arrested, jailed and put on death row, is set to release on 19th May 2016 in the UAE and 20th May 2016 in other international markets by Omung KumarGrand Showbiz Media Entertainment.
Presented by Gulshan Kumar, Pooja Entertainment & Films Ltd, and Legend Studios Pvt. Ltd, SARBJIT features an ensemble of acclaimed artists including one of India’s leading method actors Randeep Hooda who poignantly portrays the role of Sarabjit Singh, leading international actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who essays the role of Dalbir Kaur, the brave, steely-eyed sister, fighting for her brother’s freedom and the critically acclaimed actress Richa Chadda who effortlessly performs the role of Sarbjit Singh’s wife Sukhpreet. The film also stars Darshan Kumaar in a supporting role.

Sarbjit is directed by the acclaimed director Omung Kumar, who’s last release, the National Award Winning biopic Mary Kom, sealed his position as a director with a panache for bringing to celluloid untold life stories. His previous credits also include his role as production designer for Saawariya and Black.
SARBJIT is a stirring tale, depicting a 23-year tumultuous period, which Dalbir Kaur endured trying to secure her brother’s release from imprisonment. Her character is a reminder to us all to fight, to hold on and never give up.
The film spotlights many such powerless and exploited victims who are waiting for justice from the over-burdened and crippled judicial system, many of who may have died unknown deaths. Sarbjit Singh is one such prisoner in an overcrowded jail who became a victim of collateral damage of the historical animosities between India and Pakistan.

Official Synopsis:
This is the sordid saga of a man, Sarbjit whose destiny was penned by two warring nations. A simple man, a farmer, a wrestler, a son, a husband, a father and a brother, whose only misfortune was that he was an Indian who strayed in to Pakistan. Incarcerated for 23 years, in a 4ft by 5ft cell…his life became a daily struggle to retain his sanity…to keep the memories alive, to fuel the hope everyday…bereft of human kindness or company…he breathes…he lives. His only solace lies in his sister, Dalbir, the woman who refused to give up. For 23 years, she fought to have her voice heard, knocked on every door, crashed every government bastion, shifted politics, influenced policy decisions…she ran on sheer grit and will power, faced disappointment after disappointment. But she knew that it was her fighting spirit which kept her brother alive.
India- Pakistan relations soured and prospered through the Kargil War, attack on Indian parliament, Mumbai attacks…acts of terrorism, bombings and executions. Yet she persevered, the name Sarbjit was kept alive, for 23 years. His two daughters, who had not even a glimmer of memory of their father, lived in the comfort that whole nation was with them in their loneliness. Dalbir made that possible.
Tears were shed to move governments, starve to death campaigns sprouted all over the country, the nation united, came together, to join one sister in her struggle to get her brother back home. SaveSarbjit mission brought to light the plight of 100’s of prisoners who are languishing in jails, Pakistani and Indian both. Dalbir was the voice of those mothers, sisters and wives and children, who have lost their loved ones to an inane enmity lasting over 60 years.
Sarbjit came back to us in a coffin…but would we ever be able to return smiles across borders? Would Sarbjit’s saga ever ensure that even one family would get their festivals back?
A sister fights on.
