The movie reminded me of a German movie that had similar editing, The last days : Sophie Scholl but Sardar Udham was very hard to follow due to bad editing with constant change in timeline ( a bit like Shahid and Sonam's Mausam). In addition to this, the English extras did a poor job. Vicky Kaushal's acting was far from perfect and this definitely was not Shoojit Sircar's best work. Courtesy editing, the director and cinematographer manage to save the movie more than once in the first half. The storytelling improves in the second half but not enough to save the movie entirely. Rated it +1 for the in detail account of the massacre and the events that followed.
TLDR - The movie is definitely not worthy of an Oscar entry but if you are a South Asian you should probably watch it.
