Udta Punjab (2016)
8/10
All about drug abuse and its after effects
17 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
It's a dark, depressing, delicious drama that Abhishek Chaubey served hot at the table. The unseen, hidden face of Punjab province which is known for different reputation.

When I heard all the noises about Producers of the movie and Censor board locking horns, I thought it might just be another publicity gimmick. Boy! I was wrong, it indeed left the state leaders and the administration red faced, even if this may not the picture of the entire state of Punjab.The unholy nexus between drug lords, politicians and administration is shown here.

Alia Bhatt may be low on GK but high on acting, she proved that again after 'Highway', Shahid Kapoor as an eccentric Punjabi pop star was believable. After a long time Kareena Kapoor is in a powerful role and really did a good job. But the surprise package is for sure 'Diljit Dosanjh' who stood out with his awesome performance., A popular face in Punjab film industry but lesser known in Bollywood did an awesome job, we definitely want see more of him in upcoming flicks.

The only drawback is probably the length of the movie which felt stretched at few places.

In short this is everything from the director of 'Ishqiya' and 'Dedh Ishqiya' you would expect. Don't miss it........
