Sardar Udham and Shershaah roar at Filmfare Awards

The biggest awards of Hindi cinema 67th Filmfare Awards 2022 took place on August 30, 2022. The entire Hindi cinema industry gathered under one roof for the awards ceremony. The three movies that took home the most awards that night were Mimi, starring Kriti Sanon, Sardar Udham, starring Vicky Kaushal, and Shershaah, starring Sidharth Malhotra.

Changing the face of entertainment, the 3 biggest winners were all OTT releases. Shoojit Sircar directed Sardar Udham, which both the general public and critics adored shone brightly at Filmfare awards. It was based on the account of the 'revolutionary' Udham Singh, who in March 1940 shot Michael O'Dwyer in London to get revenge for the Jallianwala Bagh slaughter.

A small-town girl from Rajasthan named Mimi, played by Sanon, receives a Rs 20 lakh offer to become a surrogate for an American couple. Pankaj Tripathi played the middleman in the movie. The performances of the film were lauded at Filmfares and rightly so.

The Karan Johar-produced movie Shershaah rose to the top of Amazon Prime Video's most-watched list. Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani played critical parts in the film. Captain Vikram Batra, who gave his last breath fighting in the 1999 Kargil conflict, was the film's subject.
Netflix offered a digital distribution of the movie.
