This is awesome movie.
It is a perfect film. It has flaws. But this is the kind of film that has something to say, and it says it with both flair and conviction.
Anyone who’s done a line, or snorted some stuff, or shot up, knows what it feels like — you are untethered, you are afloat. It’s another matter that you come down with a thud, and it feels so awful that you are shooting up again, and that’s your vicious cycle.Udta Punjab is a cracker of a title.
And the way it opens tells us that it will go on the way it means to: with rolled-up sleeves ready for action, with characters who look as if they belong to Punjab, and speak the lingo right(mostly). Most importantly, it reveals a willingness to go over to the dark side and show what drugs can do. They can ruin.
