From the first scene, Pink flows effortlessly. However, the two lawyers—Piyush Mishra (prosecution lawyer) and Amitabh—change the rhythm of the film and take it a few notches higher in the post-interval period. Piyush, with another praiseworthy act, protects the bad guys with his strong arguments which find their roots in the patriarchal setup that largely defines the present day societal makeup. Armoured with the best dialogues, Amitabh impeccably plants a tight slap on every nonsensical argument’s face.

Undoubtedly, Udta Punjab gives the message, loud and clear—in the land of five rivers, thrives the den of drugs. Smell the danger.
