'Curious case of Sara’s inconsistent performances'
An X user tweeted, "I had high hopes for Sara Ali Khan film, but her performance fell short. The role demanded a more powerful and emotionally resonant portrayal, but she came across as distant, cold, and lacked the needed depth of expression."
Another wrote, "Ae Watan Mere Watan is a well-made film. Emraan Hashmi steals the show as Dr Ram Manohar Lohia. He’s undoubtedly the best part of this film. Sara Ali Khan is good in some scenes, but her performance is not entirely convincing."
A person called the film's sets 'artificial-looking', tweeting, "Ae Watan Mere Watan is a feeble attempt at highlighting the story of an unsung hero. Barring a credible supporting cast, I could not get over the artificial-looking sets and dim lit frames. It lacks emotional resonance and the curious case of Sara’s inconsistent performances continues."
An X user also called Ae Watan Mere Watan 'a missed opportunity'. However, some liked Sara in the film. One tweeted, “What an actress Sara Ali Khan is; truly phenomenal, and she proved it again by giving a solid performance as an unsung warrior.”
