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.

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

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.

Movie Review : Ulajh starring on Netflix!!
Ulajh tells the story of a young IFS officer Suhana Bhatia ( Jahnvi Kapoor) who is given a plum posting in London . There she is honey trapped by the suave and handsome Nakul Bhatia ( Gulshan Devaiah) and blackmailed into giving off secret information to the ISI ( who else.. come on guys be innovative 😁)
The narrative is gripping with the first half focussing on the honey trapping and victimization of Jahnvi Kapoor while the 2nd half is payback time where she turns the tables on the perpetrators with help from an unlikely ally!!
A decent cast namely Adil Hussain as Jahnvi's father , Roshan Mathew as Sebin from RAW , Rajesh Tailang and Chang among others do a great job . However it is the portrayal of a hardcore , cold blooded assassin played by Gulshan Devaiah captivates u the most. On one hand he is this smart handsome lady killer and then with a snap of his fingers , a complete U turn transforming him into a terror monger who will stop at nothing till he succeeds in getting his target !!
The climax could have been a bit tighter. But all in all a grt woman centric film and a decent one-time watch!!
Going with 3/5 for this one.. Adios🙂!!

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.

Suhana Bhatia (Janhvi Kapoor) is the third generation diplomat, carrying the weight of her family legacy. She becomes the youngest Deputy Commissioner at Indian High Commission in UK, after impressing with her excellent diplomatic skills. Her colleagues are not impressed with her being chosen for the post but she promises her father to excel in the job she has earned. Meanwhile, newly Pakistan PM is all about re-building friendship with India and for the same, he has agreed to extradite a terrorist back to India. Suhana gets charmed by Michelin chef Nakul at a Gala who soon traps her by revealing his identity. To cover up her mistake, she has been given the choice of treason. In her attempt to fight back, what conspiracy she uncovers and how does she get out of this mess, forms rest of the story.
Sudhanshu Saria has co-written a middling screenplay that is infact decent in the first half. It is the second half where the film falters as the conspiracy unravels and the writing complicates the proceedings, only for resorting to convenient resolution. The director takes a realistic approach with his narrative while establishing the character of Suhana and her job. The first half succeeds in showcasing Suhana getting trapped in a mess and being threatened to indulge in treason. It builds up the story to see how a diplomat can get out of this, without having any field training. But the second half pushes her to act like a field agent and the narrative starts losing focus. This is solely because the unnecessary need for using the second half as a build up for a sequel. Janhvi does well as Suhana and has a strong supporting cast to aid her but the writing undoes the efforts.
