I never had this intense desire to go and watch Udta Punjab, I don't know why! But a team mate liked it so much so that she did not mind a second watch with the team and initiated the movie meet. I was even considering last minute cancellation, however just made it on time.
The hype that was, did not make any sense before, nor did it make any sense today. I liked the performances of every actor, specially Ms Bhatt. But the storyline, I don't think it deserves that level of appreciation equivalent to the level of hype. Or may be my expectations are just too much.
It told us a story quite familiar, the association with liquor and language is not not very distant if you happen to live in Delhi. Not only a party is incomplete without drinks but you cannot be on the road without getting used to the most rough abusive language. To this lot in this part of the country, its normal bread and butter though!
The money flows and so does the influence, so this movie did not capture anything great. Go to Nagaland, Manipur and you will see a similar influence of drugs and drinks. However the North East treats its women better than the rest of the country.
The first thought that came to my mind was Honey Singh. Well, on his songs the less said the better, never been my cup of tea anyway! But most Punjabi popular songs are on kudi and paisa anyways. So may be Honey Singh won't be much pleased with the movie and it's character Tommy. That realization dawned upon him could have been better depicted I think! The song where he looks for his lady love is somewhat the type of song I would love to listen more, but that too failed to impress much!
Kareena and her bike, could we have not got some better idea? And she never faces Shahid on screen, that is called planning. I liked Sartaj though, cute but his brother killed the bhabhi. That is drugs for you!
Alia was a suprise, I loved the scene where she says she has not broken down and she will keep dreaming, that's the spirit one needs. Kudos!
Lastly I am still glad I watched; and I could write something.
And sorry I did not follow the AAP vs BJP debate!
