Review:
“Ulajh” presents an espionage drama centered on the Indian Foreign Service. The film follows Suhana Bhatia (Janhvi Kapoor), the youngest female Indian Deputy High Commissioner in London, as she navigates a web of political machinations and personal dilemmas after a single mistake. The script, written by Parveez Shaikh and Sudhanshu Saria, is packed with intricate conspiracies that may overwhelm some viewers. Despite this, Janhvi Kapoor delivers a strong performance, supported by a commendable cast including Gulshan Devaiah and Rajesh Tailang. However, the film’s tangled narrative and far-fetched scenarios detract from its overall impact.
Verdict: “Ulajh” is an ambitious espionage thriller that struggles with its complexity but is bolstered by strong performances. Watch it for Janhvi Kapoor’s portrayal and the unique diplomatic angle.
