National Film Awards 2023: Alia Bhatt, Allu Arjun, Kriti Sanon win top acting honours

Yearender 2021: 'Karnan', 'The Disciple', 'Sherni' ; The best films of the year

<p>A small regional Indian film--of Tamil background--'Koozhangal', is making big headlines across the country. Why? You may ask. Well, this heart-wrenching tale of an alcoholic father and his son is India's official Oscar entry for 2022.&nbsp;</p>

<p>And now, in an exclusive interview with WION, the film's producer--Vignesh Shivan--tells us that they will do everything in their capacity to bring the honour home. During his minutes long interview, Shivan also touched upon the debate around 'Sardar Udham', laughed when asked about 'Parasite' movie's global recognition, &nbsp;and explained why India hasn't secured a Oscar nomination since 2001.</p>

<p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-wion-exclusive-kubbra-sait-we-are-rushing-representation-it-needs-to-have-a-narrative-425263">WION exclusive: Kubbra Sait: We are in a rush for representation</a></p>

<p>Edited excerpts&nbsp;from our conversation with the producer-actor:</p>

<p><strong>WION: Now my first question for you is what was your reaction when you learnt that your film has been chosen to represent India at the Oscars? Were you expecting this, considering your film was up against formidable competitrs like 'Sherni', 'Sardar Udham' and many more?</strong></p>

<p><strong>VS:</strong> Expectations were there because the film had a very good festival run already. When it got selected for Rotterdam (Film Festival), that's when we ourselves that 'okay, this film is something special'. Since then, it has been surprising us every step of the way. We won the Tiger Award (at Rotterdam Film Festival). Wherever it got selected, the film ended up getting some laurel.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: I am sure you are keen to here those words as we are: 'And the Oscar goes to...' How strong are the film's chances of securing a nomination or even, in fact, taking the trophy home?</strong></p>

<p><strong>VS: </strong>As of now, most of the (other) films are soemthign wre have already met at other film festivals. Our film has been to mutiple film festivals across the globe and won mutiple awards, expect for the films that have been screened at Cannes Film festival 2021. Everything about the film is positive, we have not received even a small negative review about the film. Everyone's been awestruck and their expression after watching the film has been overwhelming (for us). We are going to put ourselves forward and do as much as possible: we are going to publicise the film as much as possible. We will give this our best shot, let's see how things turn out.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: Now the last time an Indian film secured an Oscar nomination was way back in 2001 when Aamir Khan-starrer 'Lagaan' almost went to the finish line. What do you think are the reasons behind India's performance at the Oscars?</strong></p>

<p><strong>VS:</strong> 'Lagaan' was a pathbreaking film, yes. And after that, a lot of Tamil films have also represented if we go a couple of years back. 'Visaranai', a film by our own director Vetrimaaran sir, was a very good film. But then to enter the short list, there are a lot of factors that come into play. How well are we able to present the film, the PR activity behind it and even the kind of positioning the film has. We are putting our best foot forward (this timr round) and doing our best. If we get more support, I think we will be able to crack this <em>(smiles!)</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: Talking about cinema in general, Korean film 'Parasite' has been lauded a lot by the international film community as a whole. How do you view this film's success at the Oscars?</strong></p>

<p><em>(Laughs!)</em> 'Parasite' had a dream run, we would be happy if we get that kind of critical acclaim and recognition. For every filmmaker, it is their dream to stand on the stage of the Academy Awards.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: Before we wrap up, we know that Vicky Kaushal has congratulated you recently and Shhotjit Sircar's 'Sardar Udham'--starring the actor in lead--was one of the contenders to becoming India's official entry for the Oscars. Jury members have now said that the film was not chosen because it propagates hatred against the British. What do you have to say about this?</strong></p>

<p><strong>VS: </strong>It is very generous of Vicky Kaushal sir to appreciate our film, it shows his magnanimity. It shows how humble he is. Since I have not watched 'Sardar Udham' yet, I don't know what to say or how to comment on that. But I am sure it must be a great film as it has come to this level and was supposed to be the official entry for the Oscars. Even if the jury had selected 'Sardar Udham', we would have been really happy for that film. By seeing the promos and trailers, it looks like a brilliant film. It looks like a great film. Once something gets selected (for a major award), we have to support one another. That's how we look at it.&nbsp;</p>

WION exclusive: 'Koozhangal' maker: It was big of Vicky Kaushal to congratulate us on our Oscar selection

Sardar Udham Oscars snub: List of films that won despite showing hatred

<p>It was announced recently that India’s official entry to Oscars is Tamil drama <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/tamil-drama-koozhangal-is-indias-official-entry-for-oscars-2022-423529">‘Koozhangal’</a> after a jury sat down over 15 films from across the country to select the official film. Among those discussed were Shoojit Sircar’s ‘Sardar Udham’ that was recently released in the theatres, on the life of freedom fighter Sardar Udham Singh who assassinated Michael O'Dwyer in retaliation for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.</p>

<p>As people got talking on the internet why Sardar Udham didn’t make the cut to become India’s official entry, a jury member, Indraadip Dasgupta, has come out to explain the real reason why despite being a popular contender, it couldn’t go through. He said that the film “portrays our hatred towards the British”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said, “Sardar Udham is a little lengthy and harps on the Jallianwala Bagh incident. It is an honest effort to make a lavish film on an unsung hero of the Indian freedom struggle. But in the process, it again projects our hatred towards the British. In this era of globalisation, it is not fair to hold on to this hatred.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added that the film’s production lives up to international standards and praised the cinematography of the film as well. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-sardar-udham-movie-review-vicky-kaushal-is-flawless-in-shoojit-sircars-slowburn-period-piece-421259">Read our review of the film here.</a></p>

<p>Another member of the jury, Sumit Basu, said, “Many have loved 'Sardar Udham' for its cinematic quality including camerawork, editing, sound design and depiction of the period.

It was announced recently that India’s official entry to Oscars is Tamil drama ‘Koozhangal’ after a jury sat down over 15 films from across the country to select the official film. Among those discussed were Shoojit Sircar’s ‘Sardar Udham’ that was recently released in the theatres, on the life of freedom fighter Sardar Udham Singh who assassinated Michael O'Dwyer in retaliation for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. As people got talking on the internet why Sardar Udham didn’t make the cut to become India’s official entry, a jury member, Indraadip Dasgupta, has come out to explain the real reason why despite being a popular contender, it couldn’t go through. He said that the film “portrays our hatred towards the British”. He said, “Sardar Udham is a little lengthy and harps on the Jallianwala Bagh incident. It is an honest effort to make a lavish film on an unsung hero of the Indian freedom struggle. But in the process, it again projects our hatred towards the British. In this era of globalisation, it is not fair to hold on to this hatred.” He added that the film’s production lives up to international standards and praised the cinematography of the film as well. Read our review of the film here. Another member of the jury, Sumit Basu, said, “Many have loved 'Sardar Udham' for its cinematic quality including camerawork, editing, sound design and depiction of the period. I thought the length of the film was an issue. It has a delayed climax. It takes a lot of time for a viewer to feel the real pain for the martyrs of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.” After the real reason came out that decided which Indian film was selected as the country’s official selection for Oscars 2022, netizens started reacting with many expressing disappointment.

<p>Shoojit Sircar's film 'Sardar Udham' is just a few days away. The anticipation among fans is at its pinnacle as the film is based on the story of late freedom fighter Sardar Udham Singh. The movie stars Vicky Kaushal in the titular role and also features Shaun Scott, Stephen Hogan, Banita Sandhu and Kirsty Averton. Actor Amol Parashar also has a special appearance in the film as Bhagat Singh.<br />
<br />
Here are some lesser-known facts about Sardar Udham Singh, which you must know before watching the movie that is set for a Dussehra release.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The Impact of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The incident that took place on April 13, 1919 in Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar is a tragic episode in the pages of Indian freedom struggle. Many innocent lives were lost, many were wounded. This incident was the first set back to our country’s freedom movement, and an eye-opener to not cooperate with the Britishers. The massacre deeply impacted Sardar Udham Singh and he pledged to avenge the death of his fellow countrymen. He made this as his only mission when he was just 20 years old and started working towards it.</p>

<p><strong>Udham and Bhagat Singh's camaraderie&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>One of the greatest allies of Sardar Udham Singh was Shaheed Bhagat Singh. Udham Singh met Bhagat Singh in a jail. Udham addressed Bhagat as his ‘guru’. The impact and influence of Bhagat Singh had on Udham was both powerful and everlasting. He was influenced by Bhagat's atheism. He started following the steps of Bhagat Singh and fought with the same zeal and passion as him for the country’s freedom. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Wearing many hats and practicing different professions</strong></p>

<p>Udham Singh had the capability to disguise and adapt different identities to travel across the world to finally cross that one gate of Caxton Hall and avenge the death of countless innocent Indian souls. He was a perfectionist when it came to nailing different personalities. One of the reasons that he could ace it every time might have come from his experience as an actor. He worked as an extra on the sets of Elephant Boy (1937). He was a multi-talented person who adapted various skills over time from being a signboard painter, carpenter, welder in a factory, a lingerie salesman to a voyager on a shipping vessel.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The wait was over</strong></p>

<p>On March 13, 1940, Sardar Udham Singh shot Micheal O'Dwyer at a meeting at East India Association and The Royal Central Asian Society at Caxton Hill. Taking out the revolver from his diary, he shot at General Dwyer. He did this in front of the world because he wanted to send a message, he wanted this to be an event that reminded people of the revolution, and that the world should never forget India’s greatest tragedy. He was calm and stood there waiting patiently when he was arrested by the police. He was imprisoned in the Brixton prison.</p>

<p><strong>A symbol for unity&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>During his imprisonment he held a 36-day hunger strike to symbolise the power and the need of religious unity in India to fight the Britishers. His fasting was a powerful message and an urge to the three major religions of India (Hindu, Muslims and Sikhs) to become one and fight for the freedom of their motherland. He identified himself as ‘Ram Mohammad Singh Azad’ while in custody, showcasing his belief in unity, negating the anti-colonial sentiments.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sardar Udham Singh’s bravery and passion to fight for Indian Independence still inspires us. Watch his extraordinary journey on screen as Amazon Original Movie Sardar Udham premieres on Amazon Prime Video on October 16.&nbsp;</p>

Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal teased the first look of his upcoming film ‘Sardam Udham’ that was recently announced to get a release on Amazon Prime Video. The video teases an intriguing tale centered around the revolutionary freedom fighter Sardar Udham Singh. In the short video, we can see Vicky Kaushal’s character piecing a document together. The camera then shifts focus to a stack of passports which displays different names, presumably aliases of our hero. One of those passports belong to Sardar Udham Singh. Vicky teased the video with caption: “On the birth anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, I’m proud to bring to you the story of his ally- Sardar Udham Singh- one man, many aliases, one mission.
