Review:
In an era where Bollywood often struggles to captivate its audience, Sudhanshu Saria delivers a film that will keep you engrossed from start to finish. “Ulajh” marks a powerful start for Janhvi Kapoor, who excels as Suhana Bhatia, an IFS officer determined to prove herself and honor her father’s legacy.
Suhana’s promotion to London is met with skepticism from her colleagues, who dismiss her as a product of nepotism. As she becomes entangled in a high-stakes diplomatic crisis involving India, Pakistan, and the ISI, Suhana must rely on her own wits, as she can’t trust anyone in her office.
Her predicament is further complicated by the need to keep her father in the dark, fearing the impact on his career. The film’s intense plot and unexpected developments will leave you thoroughly impressed.
