Directed by Bharat S. Shrinate and Jayant Sinha and starring Vijay Raaz, Udaipur Files is a tense crime thriller dramatizing the brutal 2022 murder of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal Sahu, who was killed for allegedly sharing a controversial social media post. The film follows intelligence officer Ishwar Singh, portrayed by Rajneesh Duggal, as he investigates the sinister conspiracy behind the murder—uncovering extremist links that turn a seemingly random act of violence into a chilling plot. In portraying the aftermath and societal fallout, the film faced intense legal scrutiny—initially delayed by court orders and censorship demands—but ultimately cleared for release, debuting on August 8, 2025, in 4,500+ theaters. While praised by audiences as "truthful and powerful", critics noted that despite its earnest intent and Vijay Raaz’s impactful performance, uneven pacing and forced elements undercut its cinematic potential.
