UI

Uppi is back.

After Super, Another extraordinary efforts by Uppi to help us understand " how should we think and react "

Hats off to the thought process of Upendra.

The movie plot is a clear message to help us understand where we are heading in life. What happens if we don't think otherwise.

People who understand the movie will appreciate the movie.

People who don't will give bad reviews for sure.

Relax, sit back and watch the movie peacefully without any expectation, u will get it.

All the best to UI team. Thank you for such a eye opening message u gave us through the movie.

UI = ?

Think just don't judge.

If you judge the movie plot, you may miss the intent.

If you understand the thought process, you may catch the right intent.

If you feel you are puzzled, congratulations you are heading right. Watch it again to understand more better.

Amazing movie for those who love Uppi's way for storytelling and screenplay.

Fast and quick first half.

He has covered all the sensitive topics around us and is trying to make us think before deciding or concluding.

BGM at its best Amazing screenplay (Uppi style- not common)

Colorful costumes- Uppi's trademark.

Mass Dialogues are less compared to his previous movies.

All the characters in the movie are well balanced, it more on Uppi Once again, he made sure we as audience go out of the movie hall having so many questions on ourselves and the society.

Worth spending money and time to watch.

Pay attention! As usual this is a difficult movie for the masses to follow and a bit hard to sit through. But trust me what Uppi has shown is a universal struggle. So many things summed up from origin, present and the crumbling 🌎 i.e is U & I.

I think some people are confusing this film's as depiction as the end of the world. But This film, man, it's like a glitch in the Matrix. You think you're watching a story, but it's all a puzzle, a game. Upendra, he's playing with your mind, throwing curveballs at you every step of the way. And the dialogue, forget about it! It's all riddles and paradoxes. You gotta think deep, man, really deep, to understand what he's trying to say.

But hey, that's the beauty of it, isn't. But hey, it's a wild ride. You gotta hand it to him, he keeps you guessing till the very end. Just be prepared for your brain to take a vacation after watching i

Nope rethink!!!

U&I.

The cult director Upendra shows a dystopian world mixed with VFX in a crazy way. You need to apply 100% brain and intelligence to peel the different layers regarding the story and deeply understand what Uppi is conveying regarding the current world (Kaliyuga) and the intended world (Satyayuga). His intertwined story depicts various interpretations, from inner dark world humans co-exists, and how to come out with focus, perseverance and ignoring outside noise. His writing style is unique around Mother Nature, caste, religion, what we are doing to it, and how the world will be if we don't take care of it now. Beginning is a typical Uppi style with hilarious narration, and climax will not make you think, rather will make "YOU" and "I" (UI) to introspect further. One man show movie where people will either like it or hate it. There is "no" in between. Go for it if you like his style of story telling with insane madness!

Upendra is one my favorite directors. I generally love his vision, his approach to filmmaking and the way he makes the audience think with his themes. UI is no exception. The movie questions your conscience in a typical Upendra style narrative. While all his past movies are set in the real world, UI takes a different a drastically different approach. UI is set in a fictional world that was created by a filmmaker.

You are introduced to this beautiful world where greedy politicians take advantage of the average person for their own gain. As evidenced in the trailer, people are fed media to brainwash them into subservience. How one man rises up to challenge this is what the rest of the movie is about. It'd be a disservice if I said this is the story of the movie as it goes much deeper. It is part satire, part commentary on the workings of current society, the direction humanity is heading in and even the vices that we developed along our evolutionary path going against nature and even hurting it.

It is Upendra's way of communicating this message. The format follows classic Upendra's style reverse screenplay narrative where you are introduced to the climax first. I must say this is the best movie opening act I've watched this year. The movie demands your attention to piece things together and make sense of what's going on. This is not a movie where you go to watch a linear story unfold.

Upendra touches upon the duality of things. Heavily inspired by the "Samkhya" philosophy which talks about the duality of realty. Consciousness, or the spirit, and matter, or the human mind & emotions.

The movie comments on topics like nature, conservancy, greed, politics, humanity, and society in a not-so-subtle manner. There are scenes which may make you feel uncomfortable, mainly because of Ajneesh Lokanath's background music. But the choice of music had Upendra written all over it. After all, that's his motto. A movie should make you feel uncomfortable to make you think.

While the editing could've been better as you will be scratching your head at time, it all makes sense in the end during Act 1. Yes. As I said, the movie goes in reverse for the most part. The part where I said the movie demands your attention is let down a little bit as it could not command my attention due to its editing. While crisp, I did feel the scenes could've been strung together a little better.

As with all Upendra's movies, you will either love it or hate it. But one thing is for sure, they will make you think.
