Review by harshsaxena-17071

Let me begin by telling you that I saw "Madras Cafe" few years back and never thought that Shoojit could make a better movie than that, it seemed THAT perfect to me. However, I was wronged, when saw "Sardar Udham (2021)" on Amazon Prime, and was struck deeply by the silent-to-the-world aftermath of Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, which is rarely discussed in History Books but shown loud and clear in the movie. I can't do justice in this small review with limited words about how perfectly the time period between 1920s to 1940s is shown in the movie. The sets, backgrounds, incidents, screenplay, dialogue and costumes are so well researched (this thing is missed in most bollywood historical movies), I praise everyone who were behind it. Vicky Kaushal gives his 100% and successfully justifies great "Shaheed Udham Singh" ji. Other than him, rest of the cast are also impactful.

Now, coming to the core story, the best thing about "Sardar Udham" is that it not just tells you a story and gives you a 'history lesson', but makes you ask questions about everyone's actions involved, and through its non-linear story, gives you answers of them one by one. This makes it A MUST WATCH!

Lastly, I want to say that this movie matches the level of Spielberg's Schindler's List, which is hardest to match (also, which is my favorite movie). Hats off to Shoojit and team!
