Udta Punjab is a heady mix of sharp writing, brilliant acting and a very cool style of story telling. Of course its coolness is Tarantino’s, imbibed and then internalised by a generation of filmmakers. But its writing — story, dialogue, screenplay — is completely rooted in its world.
The film’s story and screenplay are by Chaubey and Sudip Sharma who wrote NH10. The film’s dialogue, by Sharma, are simply outstanding.
I am a true blue Punjabi from Punjab, and I’m telling you that since Chann Pardesi(a 1981 Punjabi film that won the National Award) I have neither seen such sharp characters set in Punjab nor heard dialogues in Punjabi that are completely true to the characters they’ve been handed to.
