Ulajh

Ulajh, starring Jhanvi Kapoor and Gulshan Devaiah, presents a mixed bag of strengths and weaknesses.

Acting (1.2/2): The performances by most of the cast were commendable, although a few actors, including the Prime Minister of Pakistan, some police officers, and Jhanvi Kapoor in certain scenes, tended to overact. The director made a genuine effort to manage these portrayals, but the exaggerated moments detracted from the overall impact.

Screenplay (0.8/1.5): The storyline centers around the idea that the political systems of both countries are deeply corrupt. However, the narrative was unnecessarily complicated, featuring an abundance of twists and turns that muddled a relatively straightforward concept. Despite this complexity, the screenplay eventually managed to deliver its core message.

Background Score (0.9/1): The background score was arguably the film's strongest element, enhancing the overall mood and making a lasting impression.

Direction (1/1.5): The direction was decent-neither particularly remarkable nor poor. While there were opportunities for improvement, it was executed competently.

Dialogues (0.6/1): The dialogues were adequate, fulfilling their purpose without being especially memorable or impactful.

Cinematography, Casting, and Miscellaneous (2.2/3): These aspects were well-handled, with the cinematography offering engaging visuals and the casting being suitable for the roles, resulting in an above-average experience.

Overall Rating: 6.7/10

"Ulajh" has its share of strengths, particularly in the background score and technical elements, but falls short in areas like acting and screenplay, where more refinement could have elevated the film.

Please guys nothing is entertaining about this movie Pathetic story no relevance . Almost everyone in the theater were complaining many left half way. Do not waste your time or money. Only paid PR bots are giving this film excellent review

Bad face to Indian Foreign Service , trying to make a spy thriller with a convoluted aimless plot.

Janhvi Kapoor horrible performance needs to learn a lot, under confident with her lines, poor direction, boring plot.

Only paid PR bots are giving this film excellent reviews.

Avoid this at all cost. I also ask people who have seen it to please give their honest rating.

I went into Ulajh Premier last night without high expectations, and, honestly, I'm not a big fan of Janhvi Kapoor. However, I left the theatre pleasantly surprised. The film maintained a consistent pace throughout, with plenty of twists and thrills to keep you engaged. One of the highlights is that the movie doesn't waste any time diving into the main story.

The entire cast delivered strong performances, and the sound design and cinematography were top-notch. However, I felt there could have been an additional scene before Janhvi's character goes out with Gulshan to better establish their relationship. Additionally, Gulshan's character could have been more consistent throughout the film. One technical aspect that puzzled me was the choice to use a 16:10 aspect ratio for cinema viewing, which seemed unusual.

Ignore the so-called critic reviews; many seem to thrive on negativity. Give Ulajh a shot-you won't regret it.

What is even Bollywood thinking of when showing such kind of the movies to public? It is a position of Deputy High Commissioner for India in London, do the producer even know how to portray or what goes in the life of those people?

Pathetic story line no relevance and just trying to show public and young minds into Bollywood stupid dance in pub. I don't even feel to give movie even a star for this story line and acting.

Were they even aware about the Indian service? Do they even care how they are portraying the officer? It is such a misleading movie cant even watch it completely.

Worst movie and not worth the time and money to be spent on.

Who are these people giving 10 star reviews to this trite? Paid PR or Jahnvi Fan Club?

For someone who is a Deputy High Commissioner for the Indian Embassy in the UK, Jahnavi Kapoor's character is extremely incompetent, naive and downright stupid.

Also, the logistics of the whole thing are extremely stupid. Meaning, Jahnavi's character who is such a high ranking officer does not have any security (not even a PA for company). She comes and goes whenever and wherever she likes. Even the apartment she lives in has one wall which is completely french windows. The first scene I saw that, I knew someone's getting shot at through that window.

She keeps on meeting Gulshan Devaiah unattended. And he keeps on blackmailing her based on these meetings on a continuous basis. But Jahnavi is such an idiot, she just doesn't get it. Why would you go in-person to be blackmailed? Such weak writing.

Such a cast of dumb characters, each one of them. Devaiah's character's tone keeps changing from scene to scene. It was so irritating.

I am through 75 minutes, but I don't think I am gonna finish this movie. I couldn't care less.
