Sarfarosh

Sarfarosh (1999) is an Indian action drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by John Mathew Matthan. Aamir Khan plays a rookie police officer who joins the force after violence tears through his own family — a brother killed, a father left broken.

What starts as a hunt for arms and drug smugglers along the border opens onto something larger: a cross-border terror operation hiding behind ordinary faces. The most unsettling of them is a celebrated ghazal singer played by Naseeruddin Shah, all warmth and hospitality until you look closer. Sonali Bendre is Seema, the journalist who pulls the officer's private life into the line of fire.

At nearly three hours, the film leans on conscience rather than firepower. It gave Aamir Khan one of his sharpest pre-stardom dramatic turns and set a template later patriotic crime thrillers kept borrowing from. Stream Sarfarosh online on iFILM.
