Udta Punjab

{{Long plot|date=July 2024}}

Three Pakistani youth throw packets of drugs across the border to India for it to be picked up later. Tejinder "Tommy" Singh, better known as "Gabru" among his fans, is a young and successful Punjabi musician who lives a luxurious lifestyle. Together with an ostentatious crew led by his uncle Tayaji and cousin Jassi, he routinely indulges in cocaine consumption. Tommy is popular for his energetic songs with lyrics that often glorify violence and drug addiction. However, his addiction costs him his music contract and lands him in jail. While in prison, he meets two of his die-hard fans who remark how Tommy's lifestyle had 'inspired' theirs, leading them to murder their own mother for drug money. Realizing that his songs have negatively affected teenagers, Tommy decides to change his ways upon release. A few days later, he engages in an altercation and inadvertently shoots Tayaji, injuring his ear. This causes Tayaji to send Tommy and his crew away to a farmhouse so that he can prepare for an upcoming concert.

Working on the farm is a migrant worker from Bihar nicknamed Bauria, whose dreams of playing national-level hockey for the country were shattered due to her father's death, pushing her to Punjab to work as a laborer. She works for a local landlord who uses agriculture as a front for drug-peddling. One night, she finds a suspicious packet on the farm and realizes that it is some kind of a drug. She resolves to sell it but her search for a potential buyer lands her in trouble as she unwittingly contacts the original owners of the heroin. She is captured by the gang of drug peddlers but not before she discards it into a well. As a compensation for their lost drugs, the peddlers forcibly keep her at their house, where she is sexually and physically abused, given drugs, and pimped to men. Some weeks later, she manages to escape.

Over in the neighboring town lives Preet Sahni, a doctor and activist who runs a rehabilitation center. Sartaj Singh is a junior policeman who knows about the drug smuggling his seniors are allowing on a large scale. But when it affects his family, as his brother, Balli, overdoses and is brought to Preet's clinic, he realizes the grave situation. Preet and Sartaj decide to find the root cause of the problem together. Balli is admitted into her drug rehabilitation centre against his will.

At his concert, instead of singing, Tommy starts preaching. Infuriated by his speech about how one should lead one's life, his fans start throwing bottles at him. The angered Tommy urinates in front of the crowd before fleeing. He hides in an old structure and meets Bauria, also hiding. The two share their stories and bond. However, Bauria is recaptured by the same gang when she defends Tommy from being attacked by them. He learns the next day that an arrest warrant has been issued for him because of the public ruckus at the concert, and sets out to find Bauria after realising his feelings for her.

Preet and Sartaj find that the driving force behind the drug problem in Punjab is an elderly man called Virender Singh, who has flourished with the support of his father-in-law, MP Maninder Brar. The two go to extreme measures to collect evidence against the politician and put together a report to be sent to the state's Election Commission to thwart Brar's campaign for another term in power. Sartaj and Preet fall in love; however, one night, Preet sees a manic Balli trying to escape from her rehab center. On trying to stop him, she is accidentally stabbed in the neck by him. As Balli is Sartaj's brother, senior officer Jhujar Singh who investigates the homicide decides to send him underground. While falsifying the crime scene he comes across the report made by her and Sartaj, and is infuriated when he sees that he too has been named in the drug racket. He calls Sartaj and knocks him out when he arrives.

Waking up in the presence of the local drug mafia at their farmhouse, where Bauria is also confined, a bruised and beaten Sartaj is questioned by Jhujar, who is a key member in the drug racket. Sartaj says whatever he did was for the sake of Punjab. At the same time, Tommy enters the house, armed with a hockey stick. Taking advantage of the distraction, Sartaj grabs Jhujar's gun and shoots the whole gang before freeing Balli. Tommy helps Bauria escape from her captors. Balli kneels and cries in front of his brother, whose face is expressionless.

Eventually, it is shown that the government issued an inquiry into Brar's activities and there has been a huge crackdown on the drug menace. Over in Goa, amidst his crew members, Tommy calls Bauria to ask for her real name. Sitting by the beach, she catches sight of a foreigner having fun. Inspired, she says "Mary Jane", to which Tommy flirtatiously replies that she is his "life", and she ends the call before going for a swim.{{efn|According to the director, "Mary Jane", as the name of Bhatt's character, is an allusion to the drug marijuana.{{Cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/%E2%80%9CI-want-to-make-mainstream-movies-but-not-by-losing-myself-in-the-process%E2%80%9D/article14395252.ece |title="I want to make mainstream movies but not by losing myself in the process" |last=Ghosh |first=Sankhayan |date=2016-06-22 |work=The Hindu |access-date=2018-07-26 |archive-date=8 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808152122/https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/%E2%80%9CI-want-to-make-mainstream-movies-but-not-by-losing-myself-in-the-process%E2%80%9D/article14395252.ece |url-status=live }}}}

Udta Punjab had been reported to have had issues with the censor board over profanities and scenes of drug use.{{cite news|title=Udta Punjab Censor Board issues|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.in/2016/05/28/everyone-calm-down-udta-p_n_10178438.html/|access-date=31 May 2016|work=Huffingpost India|date=28 May 2016|archive-date=30 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160530132658/http://www.huffingtonpost.in/2016/05/28/everyone-calm-down-udta-p_n_10178438.html|url-status=live}} On 9 June 2016, the Censor Board (CBFC) came out with a list of 94 cuts and 13 pointers prior to the film's release. One of the pointers even included deleting the names of cities in Punjab.{{cite web|url=http://www.abplive.in/movies/censor-boards-list-of-94-cuts-from-udta-punjab-film-is-out-358944|title=Censor board's list of 94 cuts from Udta Punjab is out!|date=9 June 2016|access-date=15 June 2016|archive-date=12 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160612213830/http://www.abplive.in/movies/censor-boards-list-of-94-cuts-from-udta-punjab-film-is-out-358944|url-status=live}} On 13 June 2016, Bombay High Court cleared Udta Punjab with one cut and disclaimers. The court ruled that the scene where Tommy Singh (Shahid Kapoor) is shown urinating on a crowd needed to be chopped off. The CBFC was directed to issue an 'A' certificate to Udta Punjab within two days.

The row over the film being drug-themed slated for release on 17 June escalated with co-producer Anurag Kashyap hitting out at CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani, calling him "oligarch" and "dictator" and that it was like living in North Korea. The makers of the film are said to have been asked by the Revising Committee of the Censor Board to remove all references to Punjab and to make 89 cuts. Kashyap got the support of several filmmakers including Karan Johar, Mahesh Bhatt, Ram Gopal Varma, Aamir Khan, Imtiaz Ali, Varun Dhawan and Mukesh Bhatt. "It is a dark day for freedom of expression and creativity in the country," Mukesh Bhatt said, calling Pahlaj Nihalani a "stooge" of the government.{{cite news|title=Row over 'Udta Punjab' escalates, Kashyap calls Censor chief|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/bollywood/070616/row-over-udta-punjab-escalates-kashyap-calls-censor-chief.html|access-date=7 June 2016|work=Deccan Chronicle India|date=7 June 2016|archive-date=8 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160608001214/http://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/bollywood/070616/row-over-udta-punjab-escalates-kashyap-calls-censor-chief.html|url-status=live}}

It was later cleared by Bombay High Court with the number of cuts reduced from 89 to a single scene, wherein a character is seen urinating on a crowd of people. The Court directed the Board to issue an 'A' certificate before the scheduled release of the movie.{{cite news | url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/udta-punjab-supreme-court-high-court-cbfc-shahid-kapoor-release-date/1/693334.html | title=Punjab and Haryana HC clears the way for Udta Punjab's release | work=India Today | date=16 June 2016 | access-date=17 June 2016 | archive-date=17 June 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160617065404/http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/udta-punjab-supreme-court-high-court-cbfc-shahid-kapoor-release-date/1/693334.html | url-status=live }} According to The Economist, Nihalani "was appointed by the BJP, whose coalition partner in Punjab, the SAD, had much to lose from bad publicity" resulting from the movie, due to a subplot in the film drawing "a parallel with the real-life case of a convicted drug lord who named the SAD deputy chief’s brother-in-law as his accomplice".{{cite news|title=Pushing poppies in Punjab: A state's drugs problem, in life and film|url=https://www.economist.com/news/asia/21701163-states-drugs-problem-life-and-film-pushing-poppies-punjab|access-date=24 June 2016|newspaper=The Economist|date=24 June 2016|archive-date=24 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160624103640/http://www.economist.com/news/asia/21701163-states-drugs-problem-life-and-film-pushing-poppies-punjab|url-status=live}}

On 15 June 2016, some parts of the film were leaked online onto various peer-to-peer sharing websites. While some torrent sites hosted torrent files containing a forty-minute clip, the whole film was also uploaded on other media sharing sites like Mega. Indiatimes.com reported that the leaked clips allegedly contained the text "FOR CENSOR" on the top-left corner, implying that the leaked copies were part of the samples shared with the Censor Board.{{cite web|url=http://www.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/uncut-version-of-udta-punjab-gets-leaked-online-carries-censor-watermark-256837.html|title=Uncut Version Of 'Udta Punjab' Gets Leaked Online.

It added that Balaji Motion Pictures and Phantom Films, its producers, had succeeded in pulling down as many as 600 links from the web. Commenting on the leak, the film's spokesperson said, "Two copies of the CD were sent to the CBFC and this version is from the same source. It's literally a no-brainer to conclude where the leak has come from and, sure enough, the cyber crime cell will get to the bottom of this."{{cite web|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.in/2016/06/15/udta-punjab-leaked_n_10480546.html|title='Udta Punjab' Censor Copy Leaks Online, Producers File Cyber-Crime Complaint|work=The Huffington Post|date=15 June 2016|access-date=16 June 2016|archive-date=16 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160616180433/http://www.huffingtonpost.in/2016/06/15/udta-punjab-leaked_n_10480546.html|url-status=live}}

The film received widespread criticism in Punjab upon its release as the premise was viewed as purposely inaccurate, as in reality the vast majority of drug users in Punjab were not ethnically Punjabi but were recent labour migrants from the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, as well as the fact that numerous Indian states such as Haryana consistently reported higher amounts of drug users than Punjab.

The film was banned in Pakistan by CBFC Pakistan for "use of abusive language."{{cite news|url=http://nation.com.pk/entertainment/20-Jun-2016/bollywood-movie-udta-punjab-banned-in-pakistan|title=Udta Punjab banned in Pakistan|work=The Nation (Pakistan)|date=20 June 2016|access-date=27 May 2017|archive-date=9 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170709013620/http://nation.com.pk/entertainment/20-Jun-2016/bollywood-movie-udta-punjab-banned-in-pakistan|url-status=live}}
