Aside from the soundtrack, the only one thing which could’ve been altered is definitely the running time which stands at well over two hours. Once again, the Bollywood gaze has but a soundtrack to the film but there aren’t any which have stood out to the point where the popularity of it has overtaken the film’s excitement itself. Interestingly, ‘Sardar Udham’ tracks are composed by Shantanu Moitra but the film could have done without a soundtrack really. The rest of the ensemble cast are also very well placed at every point, giving a holistic feel to the story. The tension between the two is there for the audience to cut with a knife. Aside from this, Shaun Scott as O’Dwyer is excellent too – especially in the scene where he tells Udham about him thinking a massacre was necessary. Banita Sandu comes in in a short role as Shruti and she does provide a love angle and freshness which, with a Bollywood viewing gaze, ticks the love story box. His few scenes with Amol Parashar, who plays Bhagat Singh, are telling of how inspired he was by him and the bro-chemistry between the two actors is quite special – making you wish there was more of them together on screen. Kaushal shows in this role that he is more than capable at fitting into this role as easily as he could fit into Vicky of ‘Manmarziyaan’ (2018) or even Kamli of ‘Sanju’ (2018). He fits into this character like a chameleon all through, even when the jump between the present and past may confuse the viewer if attention sways a bit. Kaushal as the main man is unbelievably brilliant. And the intensity in which this happens has Sircar’s stamp all over it. Like a time-bomb, the story unravels and Udham Singh’s actions, his ultimate dream of revenge and psych in eventually committing to making that dream come true are all slowly told. The execution of this time in history is commendable and awe-inspiring. Although the film takes a little time at the beginning to get into, it eventually consumes you as a viewer whether you were aware of the historical accuracies or not. Sircar has, as expected, been excellent at representing this story with scenes which stand out. While in custody, he adopted the name Ram Mohammad Singh Azad which represented the three major religions of Punjab. But does it deliver on this expectation?įor those who aren’t aware of Udham Singh’s life story, he is known as a revolutionary who, after the massacre in Jallianwala Bagh of 1919, assassinated the former lieutenant governor of the Punjab in India, Michael O’Dwyer.
