Truth be told, a movie which highlights the sad affairs of a state being addicted to drugs, is not easy to watch. The hard realities of how drugs are smuggled from across the border.
And the ruthless people behind this business is what director Abhishek Chaubey brings to light in Udta Punjab. However, he majorly tracks the journey of 4 individuals, Tommy Singh ( Shahid Kapoor) , Sartaj Singh ( Diljit Dosanjh) , Dr Preet Sahni ( Kareena Kapoor Khan) and Mary Jane ( Alia Bhatt) whose lives are deeply affected by this menace.
