When it is Shahid Kapoor it is gotta be a hit what say? And Udta Punjab is just that. Hot and Kickass. Yes with Shahid playing Tommy with a main role to play in the drug menace things seem to be fast and pacy. Abhishek Choubey has ensured that there is momentum in the flick. Alia playing a Bihari migrant does full justice to her role and Kareena Kapoor has all that one could imagine in a doctor. Diljit Dosanjh ventures into Bollywood first time and things are really gripping all through the movie.
Although the theme is all about drug menace in Punjab there are parallel storylines that make sure that one goes through an edge of the seat experience. Diljit is a cop who traces the drug racket and Alia and Kareena are characters as part of the game.The recent 89 cuts from Censor Board adds the interest quotient and the audience sure gets a good thumbs up from us.
We give it four stars.
