Top Cast
Mumbai-based Ramvilas Sharma has just broken-up with Sanjana Mahadik, a former bar dancer, with whom he had a six month relationship. His private-detective friend, Nandan Pandey, attempts to counsel him over this break-up, and even encourages him to meet other women. Ramvilas does meet with a homeless woman, Koel Datta, befriends her, and even brings her to spend the night in his flat but will be interrupted when Sanjana will come to take her belongings back and will leave a bag full of cash. Everyone will find their respective lives turned upside when they will be 'interrogated' by a suave French-speaking crook, Lucky Sardana, after the bag goes missing.
Critic Consensus

A handful of critics acknowledged the film's novel premise and plot twists as relative strengths, with one noting its out-of-the-box execution. Common criticisms include a derivative quality reminiscent of experimental gangster noir, a dragging second half, and a lack of cinematic craft — with one critic dismissing it as closer to a television serial than a proper film.

“Intermittently interesting, Utt Pataang has a problem of plenty. You've seen this so many times in experimental gangster noir.”Read full review ↗
“On the whole, UTT PATAANG springs a pleasant surprise. It has a novel premise and what makes it even more appealing is the way the subject material has been executed. In fact, it's a difficult film to conceptualize, pen and also execute and should be appreciated by those who have an appetite for out of the box themes.”Read full review ↗
“Here are numerous twists which keep you engrossed. On the flipside, it drags a bit post the interval, only to come back strongly in the hilariously tumultuous climax.”Read full review ↗
“Utt Pataang is interesting provided you enjoy comic capers with a hint of romance.”Read full review ↗
“You'd imagine someone read this script and thought the supposed page-turner would make for another low-budget comic hit. They didn't bother to apply any cinema at all.”Read full review ↗
“Utt Pataang may make for interesting viewing but it will not find many takers because it is more like a television serial than a film.”Read full review ↗
