Upendra

A movie that revolves around the "greed self" controlled by the balance and often clash of *human desires* vs "human responsibilities " vs "human sustenance" as expressed by three characters! A must watch movie which was released in 1999, way, way ,way ahead of it's time! Relevant till date!!... Would rate it more than 10 if the Rating alowed me to do so!

Just watch the film. Hero characterization is never seen in any indian movie history. My back luck I have seen after 20 years of this movie release. Worth watch.

Sheer brilliance .This movie is still so fresh and engrossing. Movie brings out the double standards followed by humans . It is a philosophical movie told in a exciting , unusual and unbelievable way by Upendra. Movie Opening Scene, title song and climax are extraordinary.

Movie brings out the selfishness and egoistic attitude of the human beings to the core with a extraordinary climax which is open ended. It raises questions on the hypocrite society with 'Nanu' Character.

Upendra as a director has proved once again he is way ahead of the time to give a extraordinary movie. Waiting for its sequel Uppi 2 .

This is my all time favourite movie!

My way of perceiving the world totally changed after watching it.

I have watched it innumerable times, yet find something new to learn every time I watch. Upendra questions our human culture as a whole! He points out the hypocrisy in all of us! By keeping three women as his main characters(Happiness, responsibilities and wealth) in the movie, he shows how obsessions make one's life chaotic. In the climax he beautifully explains how the I and MINE mindset in a person directly have an influence on his happiness and sadness.

For anybody watching it the first time - You need to watch it at least twice to be able to make out what the movie really says!!

Hats off to Uppi sir for his efforts!

The other reviewers have already done justice in praising "Upendra" the director and the film, especially the one who said this movie made them change the way they viewed the world - believe me, that person isn't alone! I think it made a whole generation of ours to do the same. Only Upendra could envision this monster of a movie and actually pull it off! Kudos to him. If you haven't watched it yet I cannot recommend this one highly enough. Go for it, last I checked it's available for free viewing on YouTube.
