Looking for translation assistance on large Indian sword

Beyaautiful piece!
Is this sharpened on the inside edge? If so, is this a soussan pattah? If yes to both questions, do soussan pattah ever have more slender blades that are truly recurve (and bend back up after the initial downward sweep?

Thank you. No, the picture orientation makes it look like a sossun pattah but that is actually the spine side. You can see on the opposite side, at the forte, a slight Indian ricasso. The blade is more saber or kilij shaped. My apologies for the poor image.
