Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the biographical drama Amar Singh Chamkila, starring Parineeti Chopra and Diljit Dosanjh, premiered on Netflix last year
Imtiaz Ali was focused on portraying Amar Singh Chamkila as a story about the artist’s love for music, rather than an exploration of the events surrounding his murder.
Well, in a conversation with Komal Nahta on his YouTube channel, Imtiaz explained why he chose to introduce the murder scene early in the film.
What Imtiaz Actually Stated?
When Imtiaz was asked about including the murder scene at the start, he shared in Hindi: “Initially, I wrote it that way, but then I questioned myself why I had done it.
What I liked about this decision is that the film is not meant to be a suspense thriller. I didn’t want the murder to be the core of the story. I didn’t want it to be about an investigation or a crime. The film was intended to be about music. I wanted to move past those events early on so that we could focus on his love for music, along with the audience.”

He shared why he didn’t reserve the murder for the end: “If I had, the audience would have been left wondering, ‘Is something going to happen to him?’
They would have sensed that something was coming, and whether he’d be killed or not would have been the focus. I wanted to shift their attention away from that. Plus, revealing his fate earlier allowed the audience to feel more empathy for the character.”
Amar Singh Chamkila is a biographical film based on the true story of the Punjabi singer and his wife, who were both killed at a young age. Diljit Dosanjh portrayed Chamkila, and Parineeti Chopra played his wife, Amarjot. The film premiered on Netflix on April 12 last year.
