Udta Punjab is one if those rare movies that has been allowed a release with none of the cuss words censored. Kudos to the Udta Punjab team for this achievement.
Udta Punjab is a movie about two things - drugs and Punjab. It is a movie about how drugs is affecting the youth and how politics of the area is entrenched into it. The movie is successful in showing the problem of drugs and mixes it with humour, which is the best thing that the writers could have done to this otherwise serious movie. The four main characters are extremely well written and they remain with you even after the movie is over. The movie has a pacy first half and an equally pacy second half, with three different stories progressing simultaneously. The three stories finally culminate together at the end of the movie. The movie works because of its story, its humour and its characters.
All the four main actors should be given due credit for their acting. Shahid Kapoor is phenomenal as a drug addict pop superstar who is trying to redeem himself. He has enacted his part effortlessly and makes the character come alive on screen. Alia Bhatt is also phenomenal in her role of a Bihari girl. She has done a role what no one would have thought she can do. Even though she doesn't have a glamorous look in the movie, her acting is superb and it makes you wait for her next scene. Kareena Kapoor has essayed her role of a doctor who wants to stop drug addiction in Punjab, with ease. She looks lovely in the movie and one can't help but fall in love with the character because of her simplicity. The character of Diljit Dosanjh is also simple and this makes you like the character. He has done a good job at his first Hindi movie and should be given more roles I future movies. The other actors have also played their part beautifully and make the movie a memorable one to watch.
Abhishek Chaubey has made a movie which deals with a social issue but narrates the story with humour. Most directors would have gone the way of satire to move the story ahead. But he focuses on the characters due to which all can relate to the characters. This movie is a job well done. He is a director good at making humorous movies out of serious settings and should continue doing this.
The music of the movie gels well with the story and adds to the narrative. Even though none of the songs are superb, their placement in the movie makes them worth both hearing and watching.
Overall the movie is a great watch and all adults should enjoy this at the theatres. After all the producers have done a good job at fighting for their movie and its rights by getting it into release with only 1 cut. So people please go for this movie.
Rating - 3.5 / 5
