    ABSOLUTE MIND BENDING DIRECTION💥.
    7chand-suhas

    Keep watching till you find your focus.

    Upendra has directed a film which turns the audience wild by dividing them into lovers and detractors. As the support and hate reaches it's peak, the renowned film critic Kiran Adarsh is in a dilemma as he is unable to review the film even after watching it 4 times. He goes in search of Upendra and finds the script he worked on for the film. This takes him on the wild journey through the world's evolution put under a microscope. Is using the story as a mirror to the society is enough or are the audience intelligent enough to know what they want? As the director and his character clash on their ideologies, to drive the story, we audience have been given two choice early on - if you are intelligent, leave now. If you aren't, watch the film till the end.

    This is the typical Upendra film which I was waiting for where he tries to narrate the entire world's evolution by minimizing it to a small town and minimum characters to represent the larger section, across race and religion. There is the form of Kalki, determined to end an era after knowing what humans evolution has led to. Only Upendra could reduce the tension between America and Russia down to two wives fighting with each other. The making of the film stands out with his vision coming into life with two ends of the small town having a "brain cell" in the middle. The unreleased Cheap song was an highlight on screen and it is understandable why it wasn't released before. The action scenes though prolonged add to the grandeur but it is the social commentary that stands out, especially in the final act where he rips apart the last 10 years. For the hype, it definitely delivers but the ones expecting beyond Super will be disappointed. Considering the current times, I am very happy that Upendra delivered this.

    UI

    After Uppi2, we get to see Upendra as director once more in "Universal Intelligence" (at least that's what the censor certificate shows for UI). UI delivers the craziness it had promised, and for that I appreciate this. They did a great job by not revealing anything.

    As expected, there's Upendra's signature style of screenplay which engages the audience. 1st half of the film and initial parts of the 2nd half move smoothly, banking on Upendra's screen presence and Ajaneesh Loknath's bgm. Near the end it loses the pace and bores a bit.

    The jailbreaking sequence was interesting and the scenes in darkness were visually good. But other visuals weren't upto the mark, still not bad considering the low budget. Don't expect this to be an out of the box story though, all the magic of UI just lies in Upendra's direction and Ajaneesh Loknath's BGM where there's a deeper meaning to each character's behaviour.

    It has message to society to not get lost in the games played by the media and to find their "Focus". I couldn't understand all the hidden meanings but few of them were easy to catch.

    Overall, a decent movie for a weekend watch if you're ready for it. If you want something normal with good visuals, it is way too absurd to enjoy.

    An Eye-Opening Journey between our Identity and Consciousness

    Upendra's UI is a cinematic exploration that goes beyond entertainment to provoke critical reflection on the pressing social and global issues of our time. The film doesn't just focus on traditional concerns like corruption, women's safety, and environmental destruction-it expands into areas that are increasingly relevant to today's world.

    One such issue is the threat of nuclear weapons. In a time when geopolitical tensions can escalate into potential nuclear conflicts, the film highlights the dangers of these weapons and the urgency of global disarmament. It raises questions about the ethics and long-term consequences of maintaining such destructive power, encouraging viewers to reflect on the need for peace and diplomacy.

    The movie also explores the exploitation of natural resources, drawing attention to the growing environmental crisis. Deforestation, pollution, and the depletion of vital ecosystems are depicted as a result of unchecked industrialization and consumerism, urging audiences to rethink their role in preserving the planet.

    Another significant issue the film addresses is the increasing divide between rich and poor, with social and economic inequality becoming more pronounced globally. UI explores how systemic imbalances in wealth distribution lead to cycles of poverty, poor access to healthcare and education, and a sense of helplessness for marginalized communities.

    In addition, the movie touches on the rise of misinformation and the manipulation of truth in the digital age. With the increasing power of social media and mass communication, the film underscores the importance of critical thinking and responsible information consumption in shaping a more informed and just society.

    Through its intricate narrative and layered storytelling, UI urges us to confront these complex issues, reminding us that the choices we make today will define the future for generations to come. It serves as a call to action, motivating viewers to be more mindful of the world around them and the social, political, and environmental challenges that demand our collective attention and responsibility.
