The New Indian Express Bengaluru|December 30, 2024
It's been a week since the release of Upendra's UI, a film that Upendra not only directed but also starred in.
CE FEATURES

The film has sparked intense discussions and curiosity, with fans and critics alike still trying to decode its meaning and interpret the focus Upendra spoke about. However, Upendra has kept the film's true essence shrouded in mystery, offering only one hint: "People always ask me, 'Do you plant worms in people's heads?' But in this film, I'm the one removing the worms."

During a media interaction on Saturday, Upendra offered profound insights into UI, transcending mere cinematic analysis. He delved into his personal philosophies and reflections on life, revealing the film as a vehicle for deeper introspection. Discussing the climax, Upendra explained, "I deliberately deconstruct the narrative. It's not about a neatly tied-up conclusion, but about planting a seed of awareness within the viewer."

He aims to awaken the inherent power within each individual, a facet often overlooked by society.
