An Action Hero Ayushmann Khurrana Delivers A Blockbuster
Ayushmann Khurrana plays an amnesiac spy whose memory loss turns a cross-border mission into a hunt for a mole and an escaped terrorist.
Ayushmann Khurrana stars in the 137-minute Hindi-language comedy Udta Teer, playing a Pakistani spy who infiltrates India's counter-terrorism unit before suffering amnesia and believing he is an Indian patriot named Vikrant.
An operation in Kashmir to capture terrorist Azhar Masood goes awry when he escapes, causing Pakistani agent Bilal to suffer memory loss that transforms him into an unlikely patriot.
Director Aakash Kaushik relies on Golmaal-type slapstick humor to mock adversaries on both sides of the border. Mukul Dev portrays Masood constantly swiping right on 'Hinder' with its multiple 'hoors,' providing sporadic comedic relief.
Sara Ali Khan plays Yamini, an employee in the 'defence ministry' where she discovers 'top-secret files' while balancing her marriage to Bilal, illustrating the film's tendency to invent subplots rather than maintain narrative focus.
Critics awarded the film 2 stars, describing it as a 'tedious mix of spoof and sentiment' that fails to match the impact of films like Pathaan or Gadar, struggling to define its genre.
