Our adventures in Indian cinema continue with a look at Soojit Sircar's 2021 biopic, Sardar Udham!

The film details the two decades that Punjabi Sikh revolutionary Udham Singh (Vicky Kaushal) spent planning the assassination of Michael O'Dwyer (Shaun Scott) the man responsible for the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

Sardar Udham was overwhelmingly demanded as the next choice for a live round table review, and it's no wonder why. Ian and Mark examine the complex angles from which Sircar tests the audience's sympathies--and, in the process, completely shifts the context in the third act in a way that demands both a re-watch and a re-evaluation.
