Ulajh

There are a lot of paid PR bots here to make this film sound like a great film but its not. Jhanvi was horrible in the film and peiple should not be misguided to watch her on screen. No matter how much of paid PR bots try and give the film excellent review the collections will not come in and they all will be flopped.

This film was a snooze fest and draggy after a good interval. Jhanvi was as usual lazy and underconfident with her lines.

Saving grace is gulshan who stands out almost everytime he comes on screen. He is brilliant with his voice modulation and expressions.

Giving this film 3 stars. And all 3 of them are for gulshan.

Suhana Bhatia (Janhvi Kapoor) is the third generation diplomat, carrying the weight of her family legacy. She becomes the youngest Deputy Commissioner at Indian High Commission in UK, after impressing with her excellent diplomatic skills. Her colleagues are not impressed with her being chosen for the post but she promises her father to excel in the job she has earned. Meanwhile, newly Pakistan PM is all about re-building friendship with India and for the same, he has agreed to extradite a terrorist back to India. Suhana gets charmed by Michelin chef Nakul at a Gala who soon traps her by revealing his identity. To cover up her mistake, she has been given the choice of treason. In her attempt to fight back, what conspiracy she uncovers and how does she get out of this mess, forms rest of the story.

Sudhanshu Saria has co-written a middling screenplay that is infact decent in the first half. It is the second half where the film falters as the conspiracy unravels and the writing complicates the proceedings, only for resorting to convenient resolution. The director takes a realistic approach with his narrative while establishing the character of Suhana and her job. The first half succeeds in showcasing Suhana getting trapped in a mess and being threatened to indulge in treason. It builds up the story to see how a diplomat can get out of this, without having any field training. But the second half pushes her to act like a field agent and the narrative starts losing focus. This is solely because the unnecessary need for using the second half as a build up for a sequel. Janhvi does well as Suhana and has a strong supporting cast to aid her but the writing undoes the efforts.

What is even Bollywood thinking of when showing such kind of the movies to public? It is a position of Deputy High Commissioner for India in London, do the producer even know how to portray or what goes in the life of those people?

Pathetic story line no relevance and just trying to show public and young minds into Bollywood stupid dance in pub. I don't even feel to give movie even a star for this story line and acting.

Were they even aware about the Indian service? Do they even care how they are portraying the officer? It is such a misleading movie cant even watch it completely.

Worst movie and not worth the time and money to be spent on.

I went into Ulajh Premier last night without high expectations, and, honestly, I'm not a big fan of Janhvi Kapoor. However, I left the theatre pleasantly surprised. The film maintained a consistent pace throughout, with plenty of twists and thrills to keep you engaged. One of the highlights is that the movie doesn't waste any time diving into the main story.

The entire cast delivered strong performances, and the sound design and cinematography were top-notch. However, I felt there could have been an additional scene before Janhvi's character goes out with Gulshan to better establish their relationship. Additionally, Gulshan's character could have been more consistent throughout the film. One technical aspect that puzzled me was the choice to use a 16:10 aspect ratio for cinema viewing, which seemed unusual.

Ignore the so-called critic reviews; many seem to thrive on negativity. Give Ulajh a shot-you won't regret it.

Who are these people giving 10 star reviews to this trite? Paid PR or Jahnvi Fan Club?

For someone who is a Deputy High Commissioner for the Indian Embassy in the UK, Jahnavi Kapoor's character is extremely incompetent, naive and downright stupid.

Also, the logistics of the whole thing are extremely stupid. Meaning, Jahnavi's character who is such a high ranking officer does not have any security (not even a PA for company). She comes and goes whenever and wherever she likes. Even the apartment she lives in has one wall which is completely french windows. The first scene I saw that, I knew someone's getting shot at through that window.

She keeps on meeting Gulshan Devaiah unattended. And he keeps on blackmailing her based on these meetings on a continuous basis. But Jahnavi is such an idiot, she just doesn't get it. Why would you go in-person to be blackmailed? Such weak writing.

Such a cast of dumb characters, each one of them. Devaiah's character's tone keeps changing from scene to scene. It was so irritating.

I am through 75 minutes, but I don't think I am gonna finish this movie. I couldn't care less.
