Uljhan gives Puru Rajkumar his second chance at a solo hero project (after Bal Brahmachari with Krisma long time ago). So does he walk away with loads of acclaim and awards? Not exactly. That is partially due to the fact that the film wasn’t even released in theatres in the metro area, but rather directly on DVD. There was absolutely no publicity for this film until after its release on DVD, which was kind of discouraging. Nevertheless I still picked it up and was entertained, to an extent.

Uljhan runs with the theme “Sometimes love can Kill…”, which is a catching sub line for a rather mediocre film. The plot, which could have been a major hit had it been handled properly, is as follows. After your normal introduction, our main protagonists, played by (guess who!) Puru Rajkumar and Deepti Bhatnagar are victims of a car crash. Deepti manages to escape with minimal injuries while Puru is not so lucky. Puru has not only fallen into a coma, but his face has been horribly disfigured. He does manage to get out of the coma, but in a lost state of mind (in other words, he lost his memory) GASP!

Meanwhile Puru’s family has even more worries (you won’t be grabbing the napkins…), Puru’s adopted brother, Vivek is missing. Meanwhile Puru has managed to re-do his face (ever so clearly!), and then marries Deepti. The climax of the film comes into play, with, surprisingly, an interest (nothing big) turn of events. 

The film was screaming for Ram Gopal Varma’s touch, but then again, little was expected from it. Puru does a decent job in this project but like I said before, he doesn’t walk away with loads of acclaim. Music wise, the film has nothing to offer, especially with the song “Baby Love Me, O Baby love me” , (which ironically was the song I saw in the film’s DVD promo!), over all, Lata’s vocals in “Pehli Nazar Mein” was probably the most entertaining.

With a decent plot, a score with few catching numbers, and a decent acting talent, the film could have been something big. However, since no one decided to promote the film, the audiences response was equally as dull.
