Muktsar, June 17

The much-hyped film “Udta Punjab”, which highlights the impact and menace of drug abuse on society, particularly in Punjab, won hearts on the first day of its release in Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal’s home district Muktsar today.

Except the first two morning shows, all other shows remained houseful here. The viewers, mostly the youths, appreciated the film crew for “portraying the true picture of state”.

Karan Kumar, a youth, said, “The film has nothing objectionable as was being said before the release. Though some dialogues are abusive, it is the need of the story and doesn’t look odd. It is a must-watch movie especially for the youth.” Another youngster Prince said, “This movie is close to reality. It has presented the reality of Punjab. The nexus of drug smugglers, cops and politicians have been presented in the movie, which is a fact.”

Meanwhile, Gurjeet Singh, an elderly man, said, “The movie carries message on drug de-addiction. It would have been better if abusive dialogues had been removed from the movie.”
