In an exclusive interview, director Shoojit Sircar decodes how Sardar Udham passes the test of time with flying colours in the 21st century You know that moment when a movie weaves history into the matrix, holds the fabric of time still in frames for you to feel its folds and know its secrets while adding a dash of deserved immortality to your past - that’s when you know that artistic expression has peaked. No sensationalism and hard cold facts make Shoojit Sircar’s movie Sardar Udham long, as many have cribbed. “চিত্ত যেথা ভয়শূন্য, উচ্চ যেথা শির” is a line from a poem by Rabindranath Tagore, that comes closest to describing the inner recesses of Udham Singh’s mind throughout the movie. In conversation with Shoojit Sircar, _Firstpost’_s Nandini Paul decodes why the movie Sardar Udham passes the test of time with flying colours in the 21st century.
