His performance is above par, and his dialogue delivery sticks to the standards. His delivery of emotions is quite realistic, and gives us the feel of Sarajbjit languishing in the jails of Pakistan. When it comes to emoting, Aishwarya Rai has performed really well. But, her voice is shrill, however given the nature of her role, it can be forgiven.
