Udta Punjab (2016) is a gripping crime drama that explores the rampant drug crisis in the Indian state of Punjab. The film follows four interconnected stories: Tommy Singh (Shahid Kapoor), a drug-addicted rockstar whose reckless lifestyle spirals out of control; Sartaj Singh (Diljit Dosanjh), a corrupt policeman who becomes determined to fight the drug menace after witnessing its impact on his own family; Dr. Preet Sahni (Kareena Kapoor Khan), a passionate doctor working to rehabilitate addicts; and Kumari Pinky (Alia Bhatt), a migrant laborer who gets trapped in the brutal drug trade. Their lives intertwine as they struggle to escape the grip of addiction and corruption.

Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, Udta Punjab is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of the social and political implications of drug abuse. The film blends intense drama with social commentary, highlighting the widespread crisis and its devastating effects. With stellar performances and a hard-hitting narrative, it serves as both an eye-opener and a call for action.
