Udta Punjab has sadness in its cold heart and speed running through its pulsating veins. Within its two-and-a-half hours running time, the film takes swift turns from one emotion to another; from pity at the drug-addled Punjab to unavoidable amusement at a motor-mouth druggie's expense, from anger at the system that has nurtured the modern day Sodom and Gommorah that is Punjab to impassioned hope when you see that change is indeed possible from within, only if a few bravehearts come together.
