Udaipur Files is more than just a film it’s a mirror reflecting a chilling reality many want to ignore. It revisits the 2022 murder of tailor Kanhaiyalal in Udaipur, who was hacked to death on camera simply because he shared a social media post.
His killers justified their barbarity with extremist ideology and circulated the video to instill terror. This was not an isolated crime; it was a public execution meant to send a message of hate and fear.

The fact that ordinary people could be radicalized to such an extent should terrify us all. It exposes the dangerous combination of social media misinformation, communal polarization, and political apathy.
The film Udaipur Files claims to unpack the events that led to Kanhaiyalal’s murder, the administrative failures that allowed tensions to escalate, and the climate of fear that spread afterward.

Adding to the heated debate, the film’s trailer was recently released, shocking audiences with its stark visuals and hard-hitting dialogues. The trailer has already gone viral, reigniting discussions on radicalization and how society responds or fails to respond to extremist violence.
Early glimpses from the trailer suggest the lead actors deliver powerful, raw performances. The actor playing Kanhaiyalal appears deeply convincing, portraying a man trapped in a storm far beyond his control.

Meanwhile, the antagonists come across with chilling intensity, adding emotional weight that could make the film resonate beyond headlines. Such performances might make audiences feel the true horror of what happened.
But will people actually go to watch Udaipur Files? That depends on whether they see it as an important wake-up call or fear it could deepen existing divides.
India doesn’t need another film that merely stokes anger. It needs society to confront why a simple difference of opinion can turn into a death sentence.
We must ask hard questions: How did we reach a point where religious identity can justify cold-blooded murder? Why do institutions fail to protect innocent lives? And why are hate-driven narratives allowed to fester unchecked?
Films like Udaipur Files carry a heavy responsibility. If made with sensitivity and a commitment to truth, they can provoke meaningful debate on fanaticism, radicalization, and the urgent need for justice.
But if handled carelessly, they risk deepening divides and fueling more hatred. India cannot afford more silence or empty outrage.
We need courage to address the root causes of hate and to ensure victims like Kanhaiyalal are not forgotten, but remembered as a stark warning of what happens when hate goes unchallenged.
