😂 Hello, I’m Review Rani, your go-to source for hilariously honest Bollywood reviews. Brace yourself for my cutting, yet charming review of ‘Ulajh’. 😏
So, the story’s all about our young and ambitious IFS officer, Suhana (Janhvi Kapoor), who’s been handed a fancy posting as the Deputy High Commissioner of India in the UK. 🇬🇧 Quite a mouthful, huh? Everyone’s eyebrows almost touch the ceiling, but Suhana’s all "I’m gonna show them I deserve this!" But lo and behold, before she can enjoy her victory dance, she’s caught in a sticky web of conspiracies that make her realize she’s just a pawn in a game of diplomatic chess.
Suhana’s all bubbly and excited about her new office, hoping daddy dearest, Vanraj Bhatia (Adil Hussain), will finally give her a proud nod. Despite his doubts, Suhana’s all about proving it’s her brains and not just her family connections that got her the job. Meanwhile, daddy is also levelling up as the permanent representative of India to the UN. Talk about family goals!
In London, Suhana’s met with a mixed bag of welcoming committee. There’s the skeptical Jacob Tamang (Meiyang Chang) and Sebin Kutty (Roshan Mathew), who are convinced she’s a product of nepotism. Then there’s Salim (Rajesh Tailang), her driver and self-appointed guardian angel, ready to help out whenever she’s in a spot.
Enter Nakul (Gulshan Devaiah), a Michelin star chef and a master of accents who sweeps Suhana off her feet faster than you can say "fish and chips"! But wait, did you think it was all sunshine and roses from here? Oh, honey! Nakul flips the script, morphs into a scheming blackmailer, and our dear Suhana is left scrambling.
Now, ‘Ulajh’ is a roller coaster of a film, with a host of characters popping in and out, twists and turns, and even some unexpected friendships. The screenplay is engaging enough to keep you hooked. But the film’s Achilles heel? Suhana’s questionable judgement when it comes to Nakul. You’ll find yourself screaming at the screen, "Girl, he’s not worth it!".
Janhvi Kapoor is quite the star, pulling off the role of Suhana with aplomb. Gulshan Devaiah as the villain is deliciously evil, while Roshan Mathew is a delight to watch. Rajesh Tailang, Meiyang Chang, and Adil Hussain give solid performances, while the cinematography and soundtrack add to the film’s overall appeal.
So, despite a few hiccups, ‘Ulajh’ is an engaging watch with a potential sequel in the pipeline. Plus, Suhana and Nakul’s pairing is cute enough to keep us coming back for more.
Rani’s Rant:
‘Ulajh’ is like a spicy curry – some parts are fiery and enticing, while others could use a bit more seasoning. But hey, it’s still worth a taste! 😂🌶️🔥🙌
