I just finished watching Sardar Udham streaming on Amazon Prime. To be honest I was a bit skeptical about the film's length and the pacing as brought up in most of the critic reviews. After watching the film I can safely say without a doubt that it is a masterpiece!
Sardar Udham proves yet again that Shoojit Sircar is one of the finest storytellers of our times and with this one he has delivered not only his best but one of the best films in recent times. Sircar along with his leading man Vicky Kaushal pays a befitting tribute to the revolutionary freedom fighter Sardar Udham Singh. Vicky Kaushal gives a powerful performance here and is simply stunning in the sequences showing the aftermath of Jallianwala.
I was in tears during the last one hour when the Jallianwala Bagh massacre is shown. I haven't seen anything this heart wrenching in a long time. The effective screenwriting and brilliant performances keep you hooked inspite of a running time of 162 minutes. Not to forget the background score and cinematography which add on to the brilliance of this film.
I really hope this film is elected as India's official Oscar entry next year. Don't miss this one for anything. A soul stirring classic!
