Sardar Udham

Sardar Udham (2021) is an Indian historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Shoojit Sircar spent nearly three hours reconstructing the life of Udham Singh — a man who carried a single intention for over two decades.

April 1919, Amritsar. British troops opened fire on an unarmed crowd at Jallianwala Bagh. Hundreds died. Singh was there. He remembered every face, every order given. In March 1940, in a London hall, he shot Michael O'Dwyer — the official who had governed Punjab that spring. Vicky Kaushal plays Singh without statuary weight: contained, shaped by something that does not translate into a single word.

Sircar cuts between pre-war London and Amritsar 1919, making clear this is not a revenge thriller — it is a study of what a decision does to the person who makes it and spends twenty years keeping it. Slow, deliberate, and uninterested in easy closure. Stream Sardar Udham online on iFILM.
