Ulajh

Ulajh has every beat that makes for a fun, pulpy thriller story, occasionallycrossing over in trope but quickly jumping back into place. The travails of being a young and relatively inexperienced women in the workplace, a terrorist being sent back from Pakistan, a sophisticated killers for hire training organization, Meiyang Chang looking sweet amd suspicious, Rajesh Tailang as the chatty driver, there is a LOT going on in Ulajh. What starts as a tense and fast-paced thriller crescendos quite marvelously in the middle but slows down as it approaches the climax, dragging out resolutions that could have been more concise. There are also some frustrating choices (a character is being blackmailed using basic hidden cam technology, but they won’t use the same to make THEIR case when they see the blackmailer again? CCTV lagaao, wire tap karo!), but overall Ulajh is a fun time at the movies.
