    Keep watching till you find your focus.

    Upendra has directed a film which turns the audience wild by dividing them into lovers and detractors. As the support and hate reaches it's peak, the renowned film critic Kiran Adarsh is in a dilemma as he is unable to review the film even after watching it 4 times. He goes in search of Upendra and finds the script he worked on for the film. This takes him on the wild journey through the world's evolution put under a microscope. Is using the story as a mirror to the society is enough or are the audience intelligent enough to know what they want? As the director and his character clash on their ideologies, to drive the story, we audience have been given two choice early on - if you are intelligent, leave now. If you aren't, watch the film till the end.

    This is the typical Upendra film which I was waiting for where he tries to narrate the entire world's evolution by minimizing it to a small town and minimum characters to represent the larger section, across race and religion. There is the form of Kalki, determined to end an era after knowing what humans evolution has led to. Only Upendra could reduce the tension between America and Russia down to two wives fighting with each other. The making of the film stands out with his vision coming into life with two ends of the small town having a "brain cell" in the middle. The unreleased Cheap song was an highlight on screen and it is understandable why it wasn't released before. The action scenes though prolonged add to the grandeur but it is the social commentary that stands out, especially in the final act where he rips apart the last 10 years. For the hype, it definitely delivers but the ones expecting beyond Super will be disappointed. Considering the current times, I am very happy that Upendra delivered this.

    Pay attention!! U & I

    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.

    Typical UPPI Movie!

    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.
