Vivek M.V. The Hindu Despite indulging a tad too much in his favourite theme, Upendra offers a unique experience with UI, making him one of the most original filmmakers of Kannada cinema. Dec 27, 2024 Full Review Kshitij Rawat Lifestyle Asia (India) UI comes across less like a film and more like some kind of chaotic fever dream that you got after a pretty heavy night of drinking.

vinay b l Fantastic movie by Upendra team. Seems to follow learnings from Bhagwad Geeta Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Shivaprasad B Uppi is a great director but used very old outdated template and film sets and looked almost like a drama play set , execution was not good Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review ROHITH RAM K It is difficult to express the movie experience in words, but this was one of the greatest and most engaging Indian movies I have ever watched. Upendra sir is renowned for his direction and writing, and as a Telugu audience member, I have known him for a long time through his films. This film is truly mind-blowing. It plays with your mind while addressing the real-life issues faced by every individual in India. It critiques the flaws in the political system, highlights how people are addicted to mobile phones and social media, and exposes how news channels often work in favor of political agendas. The movie touches on every major issue, presenting them in a satirical manner to show how we are being misled. Caste and religion, which form the foundation of government strategies, are explored in depth, revealing how politicians manipulate public emotions to win elections or wars. The film also exposes our own gullibility in these matters and warns that if we continue on this path, the future could be far more violent than we imagine. It is baffling why such a thought-provoking film isn’t receiving the widespread support it deserves. This is undoubtedly a cult film, with a terrific climax that leaves a lasting impact. The movie sheds light on how our minds have been conditioned by the current societal and political scenarios, presenting these ideas in a slapstick yet profound way. Unfortunately, I feel many viewers might not fully grasp its depth. In summary, this is a brilliant dystopian psychological thriller with plenty of takeaways. I wish I could say more, but I don’t want to spoil the experience for others. Thank you! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Raghu Ram A UI review People might end up using the same old words a person can either convince or confuse.. Above all, Upendra has conviction with this fiction.. It's with confidence he is comprehending his school of thought with conviction.. Let me add more Cs to this. The catapult used by Upendra in contradiction of real and reel is brought with coordination of his thoughts.. He has conglomeration of consequences and conspiracies... His capacity and capability is carefully colorized... May seem crazy but captivating and conclusive.. The critics have expressed their difficulty to comment because they assume the position of being cynical or clueless with this genre.. Upendra brings in a cult with courageous content, charming cinematography, carefree cinematic plot, colossal mindset, conscious effort, convoluted narration of this cavernous world. Best wishes Dr. Raghu Ram Achar Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Harsha v The best movie in the world ,life changing movie ,great direction ,superb movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
