Brace yourselves, filmy folks! You won’t believe what Bollywood has served us this time. Our very own Khabree Kiran is here to spill the beans on the latest "Ulajh" and trust me, it’s a tangled mess! Let’s dive into this labyrinth of drama, nepotism, and some serious head-scratching moments! 😜
Ulajh: The Plot Thicker Than Daal Makhani
Alright, picture this – you’re watching a suspenseful thriller, biting your nails, and suddenly, bam! An ad for a candy pops up. Yep, that’s the experience watching "Ulajh" feels like! The film is basically a two-hour-long ad for Janhvi Kapoor. Imagine the tagline "praan jaaye par Pulse na jaaye" being dropped in the middle of a tense scene. Cringe, right? Talk about subtlety gone for a toss! 🤦♀️
Nepotism Alert! 🚨
Meet Suhana Bhatia (played by Janhvi), a bright, young polyglot with a diplomat family background. Her grandfather’s naam is literally in school textbooks, and she’s just been appointed as India’s youngest Deputy High Commissioner. But of course, the "nepotism" sword is always hanging over her head. Sounds like a familiar sob story, doesn’t it? Suhana’s journey is eerily similar to Janhvi’s – both trying to prove their worth despite the privileged backdrop.
Love, Lies, and London Drama
Suhana, fresh out of a breakup, lands in London and meets Nakul (Gulshan Devaiah), a Michelin star chef. This smooth talker quickly turns out to be a corporate blackmailer (and a whole lot of other things). Poor Suhana is left juggling between saving her father’s job, her reputation, and the country’s secrets. And trust me, you’ll see the twists coming from a mile away. Predictable much? 🙄
Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth
"Ulajh" tries to be everything – a commentary on nepotism, sexism, and diplomacy. But yaar, it ends up taking itself too seriously. The first half might surprise you, but the second half feels like a rushed web series. Characters conveniently hop from London to India, evading intelligence like pros. Makes you wonder if they’ve got some secret teleportation device! 🤔
Janhvi’s Performance: Star Bachi or Meh?
Janhvi dominates the screen – she’s earnest, bold, and blackmails ministers like a boss. But when trouble strikes, her helplessness feels recycled from her previous roles in "Mili" and "Gunjan Saxena." The film’s attempt to scream "nepotism doesn’t mean no talent" becomes too obvious, thanks to Parvez Shaikh and Sudhanshu Saria’s script. The climax with Roshan’s "ab yeh bakri kya karegi?" and Janhvi’s "poora ka poora sher khaa jaayegi" just feels forced.
Supporting Cast to the Rescue!
The supporting cast is the real gem here. Gulshan Devaiah is fab as the poetic chef (or whatever he is), Adil Hussain nails it in his few scenes, and Rajesh Tailang brings a friendly driver vibe with shades of grey. Roshan Mathew deserved more screen time, and Meiyang Chang’s brief scene was short-lived but memorable.
Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood Ka Funda
Beta, Bollywood ka ek hi funda hai – if you’ve got the surname, you’ll get the fame. But remember, talent bhi zaroori hai! "Ulajh" tries too hard to sell us Janhvi, but ends up being an uljhan itself. Watch it for the supporting cast, skip it if you’re done with nepotism ka drama!
