Movie Review - Udta Punjab

#UdtaPunjab is a movie worth watching. I don't understand what the censor board didn't want the audience to see! This is not just a movie, but reality, which is portrayed so creatively. To watch Udta Punjab is to walk on the streets of Punjab for two hours and thirty minutes, that may seem like forever.
Alia Bhatt completely convinced me in a role that is so unlike her. Her portrayal of a young hockey player who is sexually and mentally abused moved me to tears. This is, undoubtedly, her best performance so far.
Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh didn't seem like actors at all. To me as an audience, there was Tommy, the singer, a drug addict (Shahid Kapoor); there was a doctor who worked for the rehabilitation of the drug addicts (Kareena Kapoor Khan); there was an inspector who strived hard to discover the roots of drug supply, and expose all of those involved (Diljit Dosanjh). Alia Bhatt was on another level altogether. Each and every actor have justified their roles, making this movie worth watching!
