In this episode, Sanjeet and Dhruv champion the ambitious (and mostly successful) subversions of Shoojit Sircar’s new Amazon Prime release, “Sardar Udham.” Positioning the film as a response to the stale biopic story template, the hosts applaud the film’s non-linear storytelling structure, its consistently somber tone, and its courage to portray a revolutionary figure as every bit the complicated person he was.
