उदयपुर फाइल्स: कन्हैया लाल टेलर मर्डर

Based on the 2022 murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal Sahu in Udaipur, Rajasthan, the film follows Intelligence Bureau officer Ishwar Singh as he investigates a brutal killing and uncovers links to radical networks. The film portrays the aftermath of the crime on the victim's family and the broader communal tensions that followed. Distributed by Reliance Entertainment and released on 8 August 2025, it generated significant political controversy but was a major commercial failure, earning less than one crore despite releasing on over 4,500 screens nationwide.

The four-song soundtrack blends devotional Bhajan traditions (Khatu Shyam kirtan, Kashi bhajan) with emotional ballads reflecting the grief of the victim's community. Produced under Amit Jani's music label, the album draws on Kailash Kher's sufi-devotional register, the folk-pop warmth of Divya Kumar, and the pathos of Palak Muchhal's voice. The song 'Mere Paas Ho Tum' became the album's most-streamed release, functioning as an emotional anchor for the film's themes of loss and faith.

Based on the 2022 murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal Sahu in Udaipur, the film sits within the growing genre of real-crime Hindu-nationalist narratives that gained commercial momentum post-The Kerala Story (2023) and The Sabarmati Report (2024). Musically, the blend of Khatu Shyam kirtan and Kashi bhajan traditions with emotional ballads by Kailash Kher, Divya Kumar and Palak Muchhal gives the album a devotional-grief character unusual for a crime drama. 'Mere Paas Ho Tum' became the album's most-streamed track.

Released August 8, 2025 across more than 4,500 screens, the film earned less than ₹1 crore — a catastrophic commercial failure suggesting strong audience rejection despite its wide release. The disparity between screen count and revenue is among the starkest in 2025 Bollywood. 'Mere Paas Ho Tum' was the album's most-streamed track, indicating the music found a modestly larger audience than the film itself.
