The film has all the ingredients that are associated with his films, and keeps audiences on the edge with enough twists, but it is not without flaws.There is action galore in Udgharsha, but it would seem that it is a tad too much. The narrative also lags at times and could have been maintained tight to keep audiences intrigued. The sheer number of antagonists in the film make for an interesting watch, though. In his first role as leading man, Thakur Anoop Singh shines and proves his mettle. Kabir Duhan Singh as Dharmendra does justice to his role. Tanya Hope and Sai Dhanshika have excelled in their roles. So, if suspense thrillers are just up your alley, Udgharsha is worth a weekend watch.
