as this movie deliver the social message and to be honest well are aware of the politician who are behind the drug supply in Punjab
song are nice, as so screenplay could have been more tight, but overall turn out the best , all credit goes to director for bringing out the best performance from all star cast , majorly most of the dialogues are in Punjabi and also the songs which goes with the situation and not to mention the background score is really great
please watch in theater as this movie deserve that
What's Not:
-Too much Punjabi being a Bollywood movie. -Climax is not up to the mark. Disappointing. -Too much offensive at times.
Our Ratings: Story: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10 Music: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10 Direction, editing and screenplay: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10 Star Performances: ★★★★★★★★★★ 10/10 Overall: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8/10
Final Verdict: It's a must watch in theater not only because movie is damn good but also to ensure that movies like this release in future, for this it's important that Udta Punjab do well at the box office.
UDTA PUNJAB revolves around the four lead characters connected with the substance abuse. Tommy Singh (Shahid Kapoor) is so high, under his fading success that you can't guess what he will do next. He is the direct result of what we consume and idolize. The persona, the crass, the love for hate, Tommy has it all. Shahid Kapoor's skin deep Tommy is a must watch. And so is Alia Bhatt. A Bihari migrant worker trying to make her life better, ends up in an unexpected mess. She takes you just by one strike, down and out. Alia Bhatt is not a pleasant surprise in such a different part, but an emerging talent which might level out all other to the ground. See it to believe it! Preet (Kareena Kapoor Khan) is a Doctor working at rehabilitation for the addicts is good and bold in her approach. She looks more bright with here curious eyes and that connects. And Sartaj Singh (Diljit Dosanjh) is a cop stuck between money and wrong. He is so true and innocent till his core and from there on what we see is solid performance. What a debut!
UDTA PUNJAB is choppy at places, but I love the transitions with the structure. The edit is not much to talk about, but it sets a pace with gripping background music. Second half is bit slow and few things looks like losing control. Songs are good and my personal favorite is Ikk Kudi It's still there, humming somewhere.
Characters speaks out from real life. And Punjab is captured in such a realism, thank god, no mustard fields this time. Language is well taken care off, it's very true to the way we speak. And this is the most important aspect of UDTA PUNJAB for me, its authenticity! The unconventional story telling might not be for everyone, but it's intriguing. Technically UDTA PUNJAB is not in its best form which itself is a way to take story forward. Cheers to Abhishek Chaubey for this.
UDTA PUNJAB is neither a great film, not a path-breaking technical scorer. It's a mirror which some wanted to smash before we could see. The struggle has paid off with somewhat shady and choppy, but reality is stark. Let there be reflections!

Kumari Pinky: There's this big billboard I can see from the window. An advertisement for a Goa holiday. That's all I keep staring at all the time, without a blink. Because I believe that, that is my 'good time'. And that day will come.When it does, I will ask it; "Where were you all this while? Waiting for me to be shattered? Is that what it takes for you to come? But here I am, and I refuse to fall apart! I am still standing!"
[breaks into a howl]
Kumari Pinky: I am still waiting.
