Udta Punjab , amidst all the controversies it created, finally released with just one censor cut . It justifies all the hype that had been created prior to its release.
Udta Punjab revolved around the life of four people. One Bihari migrant Pinky( Alia Bhatt) , singer and drug addict Tommy Singh ( Shahid Kapoor) , A doctor , Preeti Sahni who is fighting against the drug menace ( Kareena Kapoor) and a police officer Sartaj ( Diljit Dosanjh) .
Pinky had come to Punjab in the hope of improving her life and pursuing a career in hockey. Tommy singh has no inspiration in his life and is jailed for promoting drug use in the youth. Dr. Preeti along with Sartaj are working hard to curb drug menace in the state.
The story takes a pace and leaves you engrossed in this excellent narrative. Alia Bhatt outshines everyone in this movie. It is perhaps her career best performance. It id difficuly to believe the fact that the naive SOTY actress has come this far in the film industry. Her performance is flawless. Shahid Kapoor is terrific , so is Diljit. Kareena Kapoor doesnt get to show her potential but plays her part well. The music and cinemtography is excellent. The film is dark but entertaining, it carries a social message but is never preachy. It does deserve your time for its sincere effort.
