Designed as a crime thriller and symbolically titled “Udta Punjab”, the film delves into the growing drug menace in the state of Punjab.
The narrative intertwines the lives of a popular youth icon, rock-star-cum-rap-singer Tommy Singh, migrant labourer Kumari Pinky, awho unwittingly gets caught in the clutches of the drug mafia, doctor-cum-activist Preet Sahni, Inspector Sartaj Singh and his younger brother Bali.
The plot is pretentious, dramatised and far-fetched. The narration begins with drugs being flung across the border, in the dark of the night, into a field in Punjab. The packet accidentally lands in Kumari Pinky’s hand, who tries to palm off the consignment to Bali’s contact.
Though ill-equipped with the ways of drug dealing, she negotiates in the hope of making a quick buck.
Inexplicably, realisation dawns on Pinky, when she is en route to meet the drug dealer. She destroys the consignment before getting caught by the mafia and has to face the brunt of its wrath for her deed.
Meanwhile, the police in their zest to show 'cop power' arrest Tommy Singh for using drugs and corrupting the youth with his drug-infused rap music.
Also, Sartaj Singh realises that his brother has become an addict, when he lands at Preet Sahni’s clinic after getting over-dosed. The doctor motivates Sartaj to fight the drug menace, “system mein rehekar".
The characters are well-defined, but their graphs are poorly etched, especially Tommy Singh. His journey though exposed realistically, is unconvincing.
The drama that keeps you hooked only highlights the premise of the story. It sends out a strong message that every individual needs to fight the corrupt system at their individual level. But the dramatic moment hits the peak when Tommy, while explaining to Pinky, screeches, “Maal khatam, party over, go home.” What follows is an equally impressive reply from Pinky.
The dialogues, replete with cuss words, are as vibrant as the performances.
Shahid Kapoor, with his tattooed physique and funky hair style, portrays Tommy Singh to the T. He lives the character of an artiste constantly under the influence of drugs and he demonstrates it with his meteoric moods, which he displays with alarming, bone-chilling precision.
Similarly, with a deglamourised and feral look, Alia Bhatt captures your heart as Pinky. She is consistent and brilliant in her performance.
With a restrained performance, Punjabi cinema’s heartthrob Diljit Dosanjh is impressive and makes an impact. He is intense as a concerned brother and charming as Preet’s love interest.
Prabhjyot Singh essays the role of Bali, a victim of circumstances to perfection. You inadvertently feel sorry for him, even when he turns into a criminal.
Kareena Kapoor Khan, as Preet is competent, but offers nothing exceptional. So is Satish Kaushik, who plays Taayaji, Tommy’s uncle and show promoter.
The songs are situational. They add flavour to the film, but do not propel the narrative.
Mounted with moderate production values, the film is deliberated as a neo-realistic film. Rajeev Ravi’s cinematography is remarkable with realistic frames. The sound, designed by Kunal Sharma, effectively layered by editor Meghna Sen, enhances the viewing experience.
Overall, "Udta Punjab", with all the hype it created in the media for its “expression of creative freedom” is worth a watch, only for the performances and social message.

Rating: 3/5
Cast: Nani, Niveda Thomas, Surabhi, Srinivas Avasarala, Anand, Tanikella Bharani, Vennela Kishore, Satyam Rajesh, Rohini, Madhunandan, Pragathi and Others.
Music: Manisharma
Cinematography: PG Vinda
Story: David Nadhan
Producer: Sivalenka Krishna Prasad
Screenplay, Dialogues & Direction: Indraganti Mohana Krishna
8-Years-Ago, Indraganti Mohana Krishna launched Nani as Hero with 'Ashta Chemma'. The duo waited for the good script to team up again and finally zeroed in on 'Gentleman' after considering various subjects. Has the judgement of Nani & Indraganti proved to be right or gone wrong? Let's have a look…
Synopsis:
Catherine (Niveda Thomas) & Aishwarya (Surabhi) meet during an air travel and share their love stories with each other to avoid boredom. While Catherine speaks about her boyfriend Gautham, Aishwarya informs that Jai is her Fiance. When Jai comes to the airport to receive Aishwarya, Catherine gets shocked as he looks similar to Gautam. Soon, Catherine reaches Gautam's House and gets the shock of her life that her Boyfriend is no more alive. Few developments prompt Catherine to reach the conclusion that Jai has killed Gautham. Were Jai & Gautham two different people? Who killed Gautham? Why would Catherine suspect Jai? Watch this Thriller to know chase the mystery..!
Performances:
Nani delivers yet another impactful performance. He is brilliant in the emotional sequence with Heroine in the pre-climax block. There were several scenes in the movie which shows how good actor he is. Kudos to the Natural Star for attempting such unique subjects!
Niveda Thomas has left a mark of her own in 'Gentleman'. Especially, Her acting in the scene where she comes to know that her lover is no more is quite impressive.
Surabhi does a decent job. Srinivas Avasarala is superb. Vennela Kishore tickles the funny bone. Rest of the actors were adequate.
Pros:
Nani
Screenplay
Background Score
Cons:
Slow Pace
Technicalities:
Critics who have written off Manisharma got a fitting reply with 'Gentleman'. Background Score stood as a major highlight. Be it during the Title Cards, Romantic & Emotional Sequences, Manisharma has given a marvelous output. Even the Songs composed by him were good enough. PG Vinda's Camera Work is top notch. He created the mood required for a thriller flick to perfection. Production Values were too good. Indraganti showed his mark, both as a writer and director. In fact, He has outdone his fast films with 'Gentleman' by exploring a new angle. His command on the script and the way he blended comedy-thrills should be applauded. The one-liners penned by him hit the right chord with the Audience.
Analysis:
Mainstream Heroes/Directors of TFI usually don't prefer Thriller genre much and even the success rate for them is poor. Fortunately, A sensible filmmaker & a talented hero joined hands for a thriller now. 'Gentleman' is certainly going to remain as one of the well written & best executed thriller films in Tollywood.
Makers begun the guessing game with the First Look Poster itself by captioning it 'Hero or Villain?'. Even during the course of the movie, Audience remain in a state of confusion and continue to guess with the clues given at regular intervals. Though he made a Thriller for the first time, Indranganti incorporated the sensible humour for which he is known for perfectly.
'Gentleman' can't be compared to anyone of Indraganti's previous films. Even for Nani, Its a completely different attempt. Inspite of the fact that its a thriller flick, Screenplay is so pleasant yet retained the flavor of the genre. Love Stories of Two Heroines was shown in the First Half of the movie. An outstanding Interval Bang increases expectations on the Second Half. From here, Audience get into the Thriller mood and Indraganti maintained the suspense till the end.
On the flip side, Slow Paced Love Tracks and Deviation to Comedy in the Second Half could be a worry. Even though the final twist revealed by the Hero is thrilling, Including a special element here could have made it a perfect ending. Overall, The range of 'Gentleman' depends on how Masses embrace it.
Bottom Line: A Well-Executed Thriller!

The actress in her complaint said that she was given food laced with drugs and later molested by some unknown people. Pooja said that they intoxicated her after having dinner and gangrape her. She alleged that the saloon owner Ritu Deshwal who is also the organizer of the event delayed the event to increase the bill. She added that Deshwal stole Rs 2 lakh when she was shooting at the saloon.
Meanwhile Deshwal also registered a complaint against Mishra saying that the former refused to pay 1.5 lakhs for the services she used. Police registered case and they are investigating the matter.

Everybody is aware how megastar Chiranjeevi and former union minister Dasari Narayana Rao do not see eye to eye with each other and whenever there is an occasion, Dasari does not lose an opportunity to take pot shots at the mega family; and Chiranjeevi never forgets to give retorts to the former.
But now, both the Kapu leaders seem to have come to terms, thanks to the fast unto death launched by former minister Mudragada Padmanabham.
On Thursday, Chiranjeevi, along with Dasari and another former union minister M M Pallam Raju called on the fasting leader and expressed solidarity with him.
Later, they spoke in one voice stating that any humiliation to Mudragada amounted to humiliated to the entire community including themselves (Chiranjeevi and Dasari).
They warned of serious consequences if the government did not implement the promises made to Kapus in the election manifesto of the TDP.
The ministers were speaking in a different tone while the Collector and the DIG were trying to resolve the issue, they alleged.
Talented actor seems to be getting some impressive roles these days. His roles in '24' and 'A Aa' got a very good appreciation. According to latest reports, Ajay got a super chance to play the role of a main villain in Pawan Kalyan's film.
Many actors dream of acting in Pawan Kalyan's films. Ajay reportedly had hit the bull's eye in this case. He might be playing the main antagonist in Pawan's film directed by SJ Surya.

It's official. After several weeks long discussions and fans and media buzz, Sai Pallavi, the mesmerizing Tamil beauty who had cast a magic spell with her gracious charms in the all-time Malayali blockbuster Premam, has been confirmed for Varun Tej's next film.
The Varun Tej-Sai Pallavi's film will be directed by Shekar Kammula and it is expected to be yet another soft, romantic drama featuring Shekar Kammula's trademark taking and characterisations. This crazy combination has been materialized under Dil Raju's production.
Apparently, Sai Pallavi took her own sweet time to give her nod to her Telugu debut film, but gave her consent to the makers after much deliberation. Sources say that Shekar has given a strong characterisation to Sai Pallavi's character and we will have to see if the beauty can repeat her magic even in Tollywood.
With this, all the three Premam girls have made their foray into Tollywood, as the other two girls, Madonna Sebastian and Anupama Parameswaran, have already acted in Premam's Telugu remake. -
