The National Award Winning ‘Sarfarosh’ starring Aamir Khan turns 25
When we take a broader look at the landscape of Indian Cinema, fewer films stay in our souls, especially for their compelling narratives. One such film is Aamir Khan’s action thriller ‘Sarfarosh,’ which arrived with a distinct narrative and created new waves in and around the nation. The film was one of the finest storytelling marvels that had the strength to hold the audience with its thought-provoking story, beautiful songs, well-drafted dialogues, and, of course, the fabulous performances by its cast: Naseeruddin Shah, Aamir Khan, Sonali Bendre, and Mukesh Rishi.
The story of ‘Sarfarosh’ is about an Indian police officer’s quest to stop cross-border terrorism, which fondly exudes the feeling of patriotism. The film set a narrative in the minds of the audience, opening up the unsaid truth of the Indian political system, police force, and the world of terrorism.
What makes this film so special is its carefully thought-out characterization and brilliant performances. While Naseeruddin Shah was specifically praised for his role as a Muhajir, Aamir Khan brought the role of A.C.P. Rathod to a never-before-seen dimension of reality. Sonali Bendre also played a pivotal role, crafting the love angle of the film with her chemistry shining alongside Aamir Khan.
One of the most special aspects of Sarfarosh was its music, which is still one-of-a-kind and well deserves the tag of evergreen. Composed by the blockbuster duo Jatin–Lalit, the film has timeless songs like ‘Hosh Walon Ko Khabar Kya,’ ‘Zindagi Maut Na Ban Jaye,’ ‘Is Deewane Ladke Ko,’ ‘Jo Haal Dil Ka,’ etc.
While ‘Sarfarosh’ received critical acclaim, it also made its place in the award ceremonies. The film received many popular awards and was also bestowed with the prestigious National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. Remarkably, the film was screened at the International Film Festival of India.
