Udta Punjab Movie Review

India Today  

Udta Punjab is a sledgehammer of a film that not only gets its hands dirty, digging deep into the Punjab drug menace, but is also an out-and-out entertainer. Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Diljit Dosanjh, Satish Kaushik Direction: Abhishek Chaubey Ratings: Udta Punjab has sadness in its cold heart and speed running through its pulsating veins. Within its two-and-a-half hours running time, the film takes swift turns from one emotion to another; from pity at the drug-addled Punjab to unavoidable amusement at a motor-mouth druggie's expense, from anger at the system that has nurtured the modern day Sodom and Gommorah that is Punjab to impassioned hope when you see that change is indeed possible from within, only if a few bravehearts come together. Shahid Kapoor in a still from Udta Punjab Shahid Kapoor in a still from Udta Punjab Then there's Abhishek Chaubey's subtle directorial flourishes.
