Why did Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Ulajh not resonate with the audience? Gulshan Devaiah responds

Ulajh, starring Janhvi Kapoor and Gulshan Devaiah, had a dismal opening weekend at the box office. Gulshan Devaiah said in an interview with Bollywood Hungama that he is not really sure why Janhvi Kapoor and him did not succeed with their Ulajh. The actor admitted that he sometimes wonders why he watches a movie.

Gulshan mentioned that he preferred the first half of Deadpool to Deadpool & Wolverine and that every projection has a really gross element to it.

He went on to say that people expect something from Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Rajkummar Rao, which is why they get excited when their films are released.

“So there is something that you can expect from them, but some of their films also do not work sometimes. So rather than worrying about what people liked or did not like about Ulajh, I just say that when I myself have some certain standards that I follow why I watch, so it’s possible that it did not appeal to people. Maybe they did not like the trailer, or there could be a variety of reasons. But we do our best sometimes its not good enough. It’s not really the audience’s fault,” Devaiah stated.

The plot involves the Deputy High Commissioner of the Indian High Commission in London, Suhana Bhatia (Janhvi Kapoor), as an IFS (Indian Foreign Services) Officer from a patriotic family. Her coworkers hate her because, most likely due to her wealthy family background, she was able to rise to a position as high as DHC with such ease.

After roughly three months, she develops romantic feelings for a man who poses as Michelin-starred chef Nakul (Gulshan Devaiah). Up until something occurs that has an impact on both her personal and professional lives.
