Utt
Pataang
is
one
film
with
almost
zero
publicity.
It
is
a
small
budget
film
with
no
big
stars
but
it
has
won
the
hearts
of
many
film
critics.
It
has
got
mixed
reviews
with
some
critics
praising
it
to
heavens,
describing
it
as
a
'pleasant
surprise" while
others
giving
it
thumb
down.
Popular
film
critics
Taran
Adarsh
is
all
praise
for
the
film.
“Utt
Pataang
is
a
smart
film,
which
gradually
sucks
you
into
its
world.
What
sets
it
apart
from
comic-thrillers
is
the
fact
that
the
entire
drama
takes
place
in
a
single
night," he
wrote,
adding,
“Utt
Pataang
springs
a
pleasant
surprise.
It
has
a
novel
premise
and
what
makes
it
even
more
appealing
is
the
way
the
subject
material
has
been
executed.
In
fact,
it's
a
difficult
film
to
conceptualize,
pen
and
also
execute
and
should
be
appreciated
by
those
who
have
an
appetite
for
out
of
the
box
themes."
Renuka
Rao
thinks
that
the
film
is
worth
watching.
“Although
Utt
Pataang
is
off
to
a
slow
start,
devoid
of
humour
or
intrigue,
it
picks
up
pace
and
the
director
effortlessly
untangles
the
plot,"
she
wrote.
“Watch
Utt
Pataang
not
for
sheer
entertainment
but
for
the
way
it
pulls
you
into
its
story.
An
enjoyable
film,
Utt
Pataang
is
definitely
paisa
vasool,"
she
added.
However,
Nikhat
Kazmi
is
of
the
opinion
that
Utt
Pataang
has
nothing
new
to
offer.
“Intermittently
interesting,
Utt
Pataang
has
a
problem
of
plenty.
You've
seen
this
so
many
times
in
experimental
gangster
noir,"
she
wrote.

Gupta
too
is
not
impressed
by
the
film
and
the
performances
of
the
lead
actors.
