Review of Uppi 2

Uppi 2 (2015)
2/10
The fans are seeing a mirage
13 September 2015
First of all, I must say that I have read all the 'fan theories'. Let us for a second pretend that this movie is actually trying to say something coherent, and that on my end, I have grasped it.

To begin with, the whole 'brilliance' of the movie that everyone here is toting boils down to the way the characters are named - Nanu, Neenu, Lakshmi, Khushi, etc. This is the subject of many many cringe-worthy minutes of confusion-fueled comedy. Fine, let's say it is funny for some people, I have no problem with that. But it is hardly brilliant and it is certainly not allegorical if your only purpose to include the allegory is to cause this confusion.

For people who are asking for everyone to watch this movie twice (the horror!), or more, you should also see how no two characters in this entire movie ever actually converse, and nobody except for Upendra gets a proper set of dialogues. High pitched shouting, useless songs, childish fight scenes and a camera that moves ALL THE TIME make this a hard movie to bear.

Upendra has created a movie in whose universe he is everything. If you keep thinking about the movie, you will see things that are not there, which is probably the only truth to his unending and cringe-worthy philosophy. Please do not say that those who rate this movie low did not understand it. It is a technically weak film made with a lot of arrogance. There is a lot of self-congratulation on one's own toilet-paper philosophy and it only works because of a fan-star ecosystem where everyone j***s each other off.

Pardon me if I hurt anyone's feelings, but if we do not say it like it is, the industry will never come up with quality material.
