New Delhi, July 25 -- Kayoze Irani's Sarzameen reminded me of another, very different Kajol film. I won't say which, or why. What I will say is that if you're hoping to land a wild plot twist, at least flesh out enough characters that the viewer can't figure out the reveal through simple deduction. Something about eliminating the impossible...

This is the second film in two months set in modern-day Kashmir and revolving around the armed forces serving there. Ground Zero, released days after the Pahalgam attack, is about a model BSF officer, devoted to his wife and young daughter. It's the more interesting of the two films, building to the verge of critical self-assessment before retreating to the safer ground of patriotic duty.

Sarzamee...
