Movies have become the most important part of our
lives. Movies are considered as a very strong
medium. It has the capacity to create a great
influence on the audiences mind. It doesnt
spell out the withdrawal syndrome its characters
endure or the addictions all-consuming cravings.
They tend to represent the society and most of
the times they are successful in doing so. But
the question is till what level they portray the
society? What is true and what is false sometimes
takes a toll on the viewers. Sometimes movies are
all bout blurring the lines between the fiction
and non-fiction.

With the recent release of the most talked and
controversial movie Udta Punjab Hindi cinema is
stepping foot into a new era of cinema. Udta
Punjab is a classic example that sparks romance
and poetry.

Tommy Singh played by Shahid Kapoor is a cocaine
addict and is a great musician. He is known to
sell his records of his on-stage antics. Alia
Bhatt is a migrant worker from Bihar and has no
name in the movie. She unwittingly becomes a part
of the deadly circle of heroin smuggling. Diljit
Dosanjhs policeman Sartaj Singh is but a pawn in
the gargantuan chess board of smuggling and
Kareena Kapoor Khans Dr. Preet Sahni is waging a
war on the whole system through her own efforts.

The whole controversy of the Udta Punjab raises
the question about blurring the line between the
truth of the society and its representation.
Should we, as an audience be concerned about what
is presented to us through movies? The whole
drama around the release of the movie is not new
to the Bollywood industry. There were many movies
that have been banned due to one reason or the
other. Movies like Kya Kool Hai Hum or Masti
has been release without any cut or minimum cut
with an A certificate. Then the question arises
why such a big hype on release of this movie?

Disclaimers in the movie come to us as no
surprise! There are long disclaimers on the
screen before the movie starts and in-between of
the scenes. The movie aims at an honest and
unflinching portrayal of the drug menace that
engulfs the state. It is very evident that for
many years people of Punjab are facing this
problem. Not only have the film characters done
justice to the film but also the lingos,
dialogues and the music too is justifying the
film tone. The films music matches the mood and
the messaging. Much of the dialogue and songs are
in Punjabi. Most of the dark themes also is wry
humour that is so typically Punjab. In the film
justly critical of highs achieved from injected
dangerous drugs, its only fair to celebrate the
ones we reach in the grasp of new love.

But Udta Punjab is not only about the story of
the four characters but explains the status of
youth in Punjab. A 148 minute movie portrays a
harsh and haunting reality of the youths in
Punjab.
