Madras Cafe

Madras Cafe (2013) is an Indian political thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Shoojit Sircar and starring John Abraham, it follows an army officer sent to Sri Lanka under cover during the civil war.

The assignment is to slow the Tamil insurgency after Indian peacekeepers have withdrawn. Vikram Singh finds no battlefield with clear sides — the deeper he goes, the more the lines blur. He also meets Jaya Sahni (Nargis Fakhri), a British journalist piecing together the story that no official source will confirm. The film carries the texture of a classified operation report: measured, deliberately incomplete, an ending the audience has to sit with. Stream Madras Cafe online on iFILM.
