Udta Teer movie review: what critics say (13)
What critics say Critics are divided: 6 of 13 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 2 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the script, the performances and the pacing. Criticised: the direction.
This film is neither fish nor fowl, neither Gadar nor Pathaan, but a tedious mix of spoof and sentiment which gets into its stride only sporadically.
Read the full reviewOf the many musical gags in Udta Teer, one made me surprisingly wistful. Agent Vikrant (Ayushmann Khurrana) watching the video for A.R. Rahman’s ‘Maa Tujhe Salaam’ and becoming emotional is intended as parodic patriotism.
Read the full reviewAyushmann Khurrana sinks into the skin of a man who is the very antithesis of a big-screen secret agent.
Read the full reviewWatching Udta Teer's refreshingly cheeky ambition dumb down into a grovelling piece of gutless filmmaking is supremely disappointing, notes Sukanya Verma.
Read the full reviewThree out of five: a good watch with Jaideep Ahlawat acting well, but a missed chance.
Read the full reviewThe tragedy is that Udta Teer has a question worth asking at its centre. National identity is inherited, taught and performed, but it is also shaped by relationships, memory and lived experience.
In short: The film raises a meaningful and worthwhile question about national identity, though the critique suggests it struggles to fully realize its central concept.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
