Amar Singh Chamkila premiered in Mumbai on April 8 and was released on Netflix on April 24. It received critical acclaim, with many calling it a return-to-form for director Imtiaz Ali’s career.
The film explores Amar Singh Chamkila’s life journey as a musician. Born in a Chamar family in Punjab, he was working in a socks manufacturing factory (much to his dismay) as a teenager, whereas his heart and soul were wrenched in creating music. He finally chose to break the shackles and started building contacts with musicians in the state with the help of his acquaintances. The rest of the movie follows his life’s journey after that event, including his unsolved assassination.
