UT69

I dont know what came through me and i decided to watch thsi film out of boredom . From the trailer and title itself i thought it is going to be an comedy and parody kind of film but it came out to be more than i expected .

It achieves an overall depth with some kind of comedic angle , raj kundra portraying himself did a fabulous job .

The thing that took my attention the most is how they have portrayed the jail and the enviroment so authentically that it nearly seems believable .

At the runtime the movie has somewhat perfect imbalace of pace and emotional scenes that help the movie seem more believable .

Conclusively , one could watch this movies just to get to know how and what happened with raj kundra in jail and how the internal society in the jail looks like .

A fantastic directing debut brings the story of Raj Kundra's stint in jail to the screen.

As a Western viewer I found it thoroughly enjoyable. A story that captivates from the first frame and gives a fascinating insight into the Indian prison system. I had no idea that just being accused of a crime could make a rich man lose his right to freedom.

But the film is about so much more than a prison diary. It's a meaningful tale about friendship, freedom and love. It's been creatively told by a talented Director who I hope will go on to make many more movies.

It's beautifully shot with traces of Yorgos Lanthimos in the shot selection and the way the camera moves. The editing is snappy and the jokes land well, even with English subtitles.

It's clear that there was a real energy on set. Everyone gives 100% even the supporting artists and that's not an easy thing to achieve. You can tell the film was made with a huge amount of care and attention to detail. The costumes were intricate and part of the narrative. The continuity was impeccable. Set design made me feel like I was there with them. The casting was flawless, down to the scenes of prisoners communally washing where the casting director clearly earned their salt.

All in all it speaks to a Producer and a Production team who clearly made a modest budget go a long way.

Watched this movie only beacasue i have started my youtube channel for movie reviews. Had no expectations so ever. First two days not single show could happen as there were no audience , at last was able to see this movie. And to my surprise i lilked the movie. I think first time , some celeb person experience in jail is played by the same person and that with emotion. Honestly raj kundra did very well. Even though he himself had gone through this, To potray charecters afterwards , its not easy. And raj kundra did very well. Though there is no any discussion about the case,courtroom drama , was decent movie. Generous 7.5/10💐👏

UT69 is a funny, fun, and emotional story beautifully told. The cinematography, the music, the acting, the directing, the editing, all of it is so fantastic! 10 stars!!! The cinematography has a Wes Anderson type style. It takes place in a jail and they figured out a way to make it look visually captivating through the art direction and cinematography. And the film is great for an international audience. The humor translates across languages, I watched with English subtitles. I'm sure there are some jokes I missed but it was very enjoyable and funny with subtitles. I really enjoyed this film and recommend it to people who haven't seen it yet.

Truly incredible film! It's extremely well told, well shot, funny, emotional, shocking, and exceptionally thoughtful. I was thoroughly impressed. It's honestly rare that a film today is captivating and worth recommending, but this is one of them.

It's deeply concerning how corrupt the prison system is in India. It's hard to appreciate the magnitude of how messed up the environment is with overpacked prison cells, disgusting facilities, and nightmarish sleeping arrangements. Even despite this difficult imagery, the director, writers, and cinematographers did a masterful job at making the story actually light, fun to watch, and heartwarming moments and characters.

To balance these emotions in the viewer is a near impossible tightrope to walk on, but somehow they pulled it off. Beautiful work. The best prison film since Shawshank Redemption.
