Uppi 2 Movie First Day Collections As We Expected around 8 Cr in Karnataka Alone and 2 Cr in both Telangana and AP Regions. The Total First Day Box Office Collections of the Upendra's Uppi 2 Movie is Around 13 Cr. Hope this movie will break many Records in Sandalwood and it will shows the Stamina of the Upendra at the Box Office.

Uppi is back with another master piece. Another flick with deep message to the world. It talks about how every person thinks and what each one of us go through in our daily life. This movie shows 2 contrast characters naanu(selfish) and neenu (selfless) and depicts that if are selfless and enjoy your present life rather over thinking about future or worrying about past. You can't compare this movie with any other movie.

I am sure you will be relived from all your problems and you will feel the sense of freshness in your life.

Very nice narration and wonderful direction. Kristina looks gorgeous and has done very good acting. Upendra has intentionally created confusion at the end. But if you get the message right, then you will get the reason behind the confusion caused.

Camera work is amazing and excellent background score music. Must Watch..!! Watch without expecting any Indian movie routine elements. Its an attempt to social reformation!!

Upendra said in an interview "It was an unfinished story. In the end, he (protagonist) leaves everything behind and goes away. There is no answer to what next. What happened to him? In a film you can show such abruptness. But what really happens to him if he were real? That question always bothered me. It was a conflict within me wanting to know what happened. Our lives are a constant search to find the ultimate truth..."

In 'Upendra-1' the protagonist was in search. In this movie the protagonist is content and happy. He enjoys and makes fun of the (odd?) ways of society.

The protagonist in the movie keeps on saying the same thing "What you are looking is here and now" and yet no one bothers to look there and then. The protagonist keeps on saying that he is a CHANGED man now and yet no one cares. People rather than looking into him, kept on searching. People who knew his past (characters from uppi-1), kept searching him in his past without realizing that past is just a reconstruct of mind. People who were interested in his future (Police and other characters interested in will), kept on searching in his future without realizing that future is again a construct of mind. No one in the movie (or in the audience) bothered to look into him. No one was in the present. People who watched movie without thinking about 'what happens next?' can get the message, otherwise they will miss it… Most people thought that the movie is about 'Neenu'(YOU). When 'Naanu' (I) dies, Neenu(You) can't exist. 'I' exist because 'You" exists. When 'I' dies, the very variable of comparison dies. Therefore the movie is not about 'Neenu'(You) .

The movie is about 'NO MIND'. It reminds me of 'ZEN' movies of China, Japan and Korea. Movie tries to explain 'No Mind' with 'Mind'. Mind on its own doesn't exist. It has no existence of its own. Therefore it is not substantial. On the other hand, mind is a continuum of thoughts. (All the scenes in the movie are in continuum and random). We don't realize this continuum due to our unconsciousness. Sit for moment. Watch your mind without judging. You realize random thoughts coming and going. If you go little deep, you can also witness intervals in between thoughts.

Thinking is always about future or past. As you are, you can't be without thinking. You can not do any activity without thinking/no mind. No mind is evolved state wherein consciousness guides. 'No mind' is the state of being; not activity. Consciousness becomes the master and mind becomes the servant. Ever wondered why Krishna became charioteer. Krishna represents consciousness and Arjuna represents mind. In a state of 'no mind' Consciousness guide the mind.

This movie is about a quest of a person who has attained 'No Mind'. Paradox is that one attains state of 'no mind' at the verge of his quest. When quest itself end, nothing exists. All this human struggle is for finding that quest. You can call it happiness or Moksha or something else. When there is no quest, neither present exists nor future. One is utterly content within. He lives. No future. No past. Therefore there cannot be any end as 'end' itself is futuristic… There are glimpses of Tantra (with Parul Yadav and in a scene with Kristina).

We can see Upendra dressing in a typical Osho style and trying to imitate him in a way in the movie...

Contentment is subjective and very inner experience. You cannot make a movie on contented person. Although one can make movie on how one attains that state.

I knew making a movie on 'no mind' was very difficult, yet director has given his sincere attempt. He should be appreciated for his guts.

I personally think screenplay could have been made more interesting.

The movie is not raw with dialogs as in Uppi-1. It is more mature, witty and more sharp. It is raw in 'Zen' sense. A kind of raw 'Zen' movie. It can be watched/enjoyed with family...

Thank you Upendra for making this movie

• Director Real Star Upendra is back with yet Another Cult Classic. It amazes each and every time how this Specialist comes with such a Kickass concept Again and Again with New Josh and Effective screenplay.

• It's Director Uppi All the way. He has shown that he is the Most Lethal Weapon of Sandalwood in terms of Direction department. Probably, Only Director in the World who makes the Audience Think, whether the Movie has come to an End or Not? Half of the Audience in the theatre weren't aware that Movie has finally ended. Director Uppi's legacy continues.

• Movie Rolling cards with Uppi-2 Title track sung by Appu. Starts off on an Impressive Note. First Half is All about Philosophical dialogues and moves at a brisk pace without any boring moments. It's the second Half of the Movie, where you can see that Rawness in Uppi's Direction as expected. Uppi has given a Lot of work for Audience to think all time via confusing screenplay.

• Great performances from everyone lift the Movie to an All New Level. Most of the characters from Upendra-1 make their appearance on screen. There is a striking resemblance to the previous version. Movie also has few scenes from Upendra-1. Bank Janardhan, Shobh Raj, Biradar and other supporting Artists are a treat to watch.

• Kristina Akheeva looks damn gorgeous on big screen. Has performed extremely well. She is here to stay for Long. Parul Yadav comes in a Few scenes and sparkles in a Song sequence.

• No Excuse Me & Beku Beku Songs from GuruKiran are captured well. Audience would love watching it on big screen.

• Dialogues, which are the Main stay of Uppi's Movie, are the Main Plus for UPPI-2. Here is a Prime example "Ashramadalli Dudilla, Aaaa Shramadalli Duddidhe".

• Moreover, shocking Climax of the Movie leaves you thinking!!!

Movie Mugithaa? Ilva? –This confusion prevails. "Don't Live in Past, Don't think about the Future, Live the Life to the fullest at present. "Ee Present Maatra Satya"

Verdict: Another Gem of a Movie from Real Star. It's a Sumptuous Treat for Uppi Fans.

Rates 10/10

Alert: Please watch Upendra movie to fully understand Uppi2

When you come out of the movies you feel your brain is baked/roasted. What the hell is this movie all about.

But when you rethink about the concept of the movie which Upendra tried to tell in this movie, you feel amazed. Its "concept" is roughly Inception + Interstellar combined told in a vernacular way. (Only concept not the story)

There is no conclusion to this movie. Audience have to analyze and come to a conclusion of what might have happened in the end or what the director is trying to convey. Or there might be a part 3.

You cannot rate this movie. Its beyond that. Those who liked this movie might rate it 20/10 who dint like it may say 0/10.

Am sure some may not like this movie. Because they are not used to such complex concept.
