Srikanth V. Velagaleti delivers a surprisingly intelligent comedy-thriller with 'Utt Pattaang', that is nicely written & executed. Its amusing but also engaging!
'Utt Pattaang' Synopsis: A man & his private-detective friend attempt to deal with a bitter ex-girlfriend & a missing bag full of cash.
'Utt Pattaang' has a super first-hour, as the thriller unfolds beautifully. The second-hour is slightly problematic, as the pace drops, however, an interesting culmination, brightens the mood. The Screenplay is definitely filled with merit. However, the second-hour lacks sharpness & also the pace should have been kept in check. Srikanth V. Velagaleti's Direction is perfect. Cinematography & Editing are standard.
Performance-Wise: Vinay Pathak dominates the show with a stellar performance. The under-rated actor enacts dual roles with effortless ease. Saurabh Shukla is another scene-stealer. He stands on his own with a solid performance. Mahie Gill looks hot & oozes confidence. Mona Singh is good. Sanjay Mishra, Brijendra Kala & Murli Sharma are adequate.
On the whole, 'Utt Pattaang' is much better than expected.
