Story: Kartar Singh Sarabha, a young child from a Punjabi hamlet, travels to the US to join an aviation engineering course. However, his attention turns away from his scholarly work and toward the marginalized position of Indian laborers employed as slaves in the US. His connection to Sohan Singh Bhakna, the initiator of the Ghadar movement in North America that aimed to liberate India from British domination during the 1900s, is further strengthened by this. Sarabha becomes a revolutionary, obtaining weapons from other nations to raise momentum for India's independence movement and eventually arriving in India to carry out the Ghadar plot. Sarabha and six of his allies are imprisoned and executed as a result of the plan's failure.
Analysis: As shown on screen, the narrative of 19-year-old Kartar Singh Sarabha (Japtej Singh), who faced death head-on and went on to become a formidable revolutionary of the Ghadar movement, is incredibly inspirational. The film is flawless in its detailing, following Sarabha's trip from India to the US and underscoring the events that led to his conversion to a freedom fighter. The director has placed a strong emphasis on preserving authenticity as recorded in history, from the sepia-soaked color treatment to the different attire of people from those times spanning across three continents as the story pans across India, North America, and back to India; and the dialects ranging from Irish, Indian, American Indian, to British.Japtej portrays the protagonist with effortless conviction, conveying the unadulterated bravery of a young man overcome by feelings of patriotism and occasionally mixed with fear of his imminent execution. Important characters in Ghadar, portrayed by Mukul Dev (Harnam Singh Tundilat), Jasbir Jassi, Jaspinder Cheema (Gulab Kaur), Sumend Wankhade (Vishnu Ganesh Pingle), and Mahabir Bhullar (Sarabha's grandpa), provide support to him in order to advance the story.
In addition to playing Sohan Singh Bhakna, director Kavi Raz also plays a significant role in the movie. He serves as the narrator, conveying the sense of the independence movement as a whole, encompassing not just the freedom fighters but also their families.
Even though the scenario is portrayed as upholding all historical sanctities, the narrative drags the action down, making the movie seem slower. Parts of the screenplay are not cohesively put together, detracting from the film's core story, which ought to have centered on Sarabha.
Sarabha, on the other hand, is a bold attempt at Punjabi cinema and stands in a class separate from the popular productions this industry produces. Technically flawless, the video showcases the years of meticulous effort and research that went into its creation.
