Overall Rating: Nuts    
Udanpaal reminded us of Joji with family members coming together to profit from a patriarch’s death. The movie could have definitely been a blasting experience had the cast and crew ‘not’ played it safe
~Still Worth Watching~   

Delicious
—Everything about the design of Parama’s house was funny and accentuated the extreme poverty reigning in his house.
There’s no way we can forget the long chair with a broken leg supported by a pile of stones and the damaged clock with the numbers 9 to 11 written on the wall with a chalk 🤣
—Linga (playing Parama) and Vivek Prasanna (playing Parama’s brother-in-law) saved the day! They were greedy, clumsy, calculative, and just couldn’t come up with a concrete plan to handle their father’s fate
—What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his family and values? Udanpaal was a reminder of how desperation can bring out a man’s self-centeredness.
The way we treat our parents predicts the way our children will treat us

Bland
—99% of the film was shot in Parama’s tight and tiny house that we felt so claustrophobic 😓
—Udanpaal appeared to be played safe with plain dialogues that weren’t hilarious or entertaining. Additionally, acting was very average and the humor wasn’t coming from within. Gayatrie (playing Parama’s sister) was really over-doing it.
The actors were just ‘acting’ without embracing the spirit of their characters
–Cinematography, editing, and directing weren’t executed in a comical, vibrant, or intriguing manner to glue our eyes to the screen
