Udanpaal

Udanpaal reminded us of the malayalam movie 'Joji' with family members coming together to profit from a patriarch's death. The movie could have definitely been a blasting experience had the cast and crew 'not' played it safe

DELICIOUS

-Everything about the design of Parama's house was funny and accentuated the extreme poverty reigning in his house.

There's no way we can forget the long chair with a broken leg supported by a pile of stones and the damaged clock with the numbers 9 to 11 written on the wall with a chalk 🤣

-Linga and Vivek Prasanna saved the day! They were greedy, clumsy, calculative, and just couldn't come up with a concrete plan to handle their father's fate

-What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his family and values? Udanpaal was a reminder of how desperation can bring out a man's self-centeredness. The way we treat our parents predicts the way our children will treat us

BLAND

-99% of the film was shot in Parama's tight and tiny house that we felt so claustrophobic 😓

-Udanpaal appeared to be played safe with plain dialogues that weren't hilarious or entertaining. Additionally, acting was very average and the humor wasn't coming from within.

Gayatrie was really over-doing it. The actors were just 'acting' without embracing the spirit of their characters

-Cinematography, editing, and directing weren't executed in a comical, vibrant, or intriguing manner to glue our eyes to the screen.
