Umbarro

The Gujarati film Umbarro generated immense excitement as a landmark project, uniting major female stars from the industry for the first time. Coming from the creators of the acclaimed, National Award-winning Hellaro, expectations were sky-high. Unfortunately, Umbarro falls short of its ambitious promise, resulting in a narrative that feels more like a squandered opportunity than a cinematic triumph.

The plot centers on seven women who, having never ventured beyond their hometown, embark on a bold group trip to London. This premise brims with potential, setting the stage for a vibrant exploration of self-discovery, cultural contrasts, and women defying societal constraints. As they grapple with practical challenges like currency exchanges and language barriers, alongside deeper cultural adjustments, the film aims to depict their bold quest for independence and identity.

Yet, Umbarro falters where it should shine. The story is bogged down by clichés and exaggerated drama, replacing nuanced characters with loud, one-dimensional stereotypes that fail to enrich the narrative. Opportunities for genuine humor and emotional depth are drowned out, reducing the women to caricatures in a formulaic plot. Instead of crafting an authentic, engaging story, the film leans on predictable tropes that lack originality.

In the end, Umbarro disappoints despite its stellar cast and promising concept. It's a textbook case of a film with all the right pieces that, due to weak execution, fails to deliver, leaving audiences with a lingering sense of unmet potential.

This wasn't just a movie; it was a delightful escape!

It was filled with heartwarming moments that made me smile from ear to ear.

The story was engaging, the humour was witty, and the overall tone was incredibly uplifting .

The entire cast delivered fantastic performances, bringing the characters to life with vibrant energy and genuine affection.

But it was Tarjanee who truly stole the show. Her performance was a standout - she was both charming and incredibly touching, capturing the essence of her character with remarkable sensitivity.

I found myself wondering what it would be like to experience the world through her eyes, to feel the depth of her emotions, and to share in her journey of self-discovery.

This is a feel-good film that the whole family will enjoy. It's a reminder that life is full of simple joys and precious connections, and that laughter and love can brighten even the darkest of days.

Leaving the theater,

I felt a profound sense of awe. This wasn't just entertainment; it was an immersive cinematic experience.

While modern cinema offers a dizzying array of choices, this film stands apart. It's a rare gem, a story that resonated deeply and left me pondering long after the credits rolled.

The performances were nothing short of extraordinary. Each actor brought a nuanced depth to their character, but

Tarjanee's portrayal was truly unforgettable. Her raw emotion and vulnerability were both captivating and heartbreaking, leaving an indelible mark on my soul.

This film is a testament to the power of storytelling. It's a must-see for anyone who appreciates artistry, emotional depth, and the magic of cinema.

Must watch stories of Gujarati Naari shakti. One movie explains many lives. Many surprises, twists, nice acting, tried to capture reality and concerns of this generation. My family has enjoyed watching the full movie. Thank you Shemaroo for releasing it on OTT. The London Journey, theme and story telling was amazing. Songs, singers, characters were really nice. Name of the movie itself is more than enough to empower the Femin characters. The definition of Dream at the end and all the characters were uniquely plotted in the movie.

Only negative part was alcohol consumption was promoted as part of entertainment. I didn't like it. I request to Indian people to understand the responsibility.

Superb performance by each and every character of movie excellent direction must watch movie. Small small stories of each character of movie is very nicely covered by director. Saritaba character is I like most among all. After HELLARO once again abhishek shah proved he is a man of next level. Perfect screenplay with awesome cinematography. This movie gives message of positive attitude gender equality. This movie teach a good lesson to all of us that do whatever you like in your life.

Your life is your life only you can decide what you want to do nobody else can. This is very positive message for coming era.
