I watch this movie because I want see want in this movies that government make issue
Udta Punjab reaches dizzying heights during this moment, which is only one of many in this simultaneously cynical and idealistic look at four intertwining lives in drug-addled Punjab. Here, in its famed fields, one is more likely to find used needles than embracing lovers. Characters are more likely to use expletives nonchalantly, instead of the usual ‘O paaji’ and ‘Balle balle’ we’re used to. It’s like someone remixed a Gurvinder Singh film to a catchy four-on-the-floor beat and a dark, pulsating bass-line.
There are times when Udta Punjab is too frenetically paced for its own good, leading to the occasional contrivance. It also gets a tad literal at times. For instance, just before the scene described at the beginning of this review, the film makes Tommy spell out things the viewer already knows, or could’ve figured out. I could’ve done with a more realistic depiction of Tommy as a musician(that ‘Coke Cock’ song is a bit too ridiculous to take seriously) and some depth to Khan’s character, which is the only one that comes across as visibly underwritten.
