Udan Patolas Season 1 Review : This Indian adaptation of an Israeli series is dull and full of stereotypes

Abhishek Srivastava, TNN, Jun 10, 2022, 12.00 AM ISTSTORY: ‘Udan Patolas’ is about friendship between four women who all hail from Punjab, and now Mumbai is their new home. The six episodes revolve around their love-life and work-life situations. These women are not afraid to speak their minds and believe that one should enjoy every moment of life.

REVIEW: There is a sequence in the fifth episode of the series when Mr. Mittal (Rakesh Bedi), CEO of Walter Financial Services, goes to meet a Puruswami, a big shot in the world of gems, at a restaurant. There he introduces his team, which has four girls in it (also the lead characters of the series), as his core team. Barring the one who works at the front office reception, it’s extremely difficult to make out the profiles of the other two. It’s a puzzle wrapped in mystery if they are hired to run errands for the CEO, buy gifts for someone’s birthday to be presented by their boss, or if they have just been hired to fool around in the swanky office. This situation more or less sums up the core essence of the series - it’s superficial and doesn’t bother to scratch the surface.

‘Udan Patolas’ actually makes a mockery of current OTT content on various streaming platforms as it is neither well researched, nor funny and immersive. ‘Udan Patolas’ is one of those series that doesn’t even fall into the ‘timepass’ category. It shows a world that is difficult to relate to and characters who have nothing better to do. It shows a world where money is the currency, characters are gold diggers, and CEOs have a demi-God status. It’s no ‘Four More Shots’ and it would be blasphemy to even mention the word ‘Industry’.

The series is about four friends – Noor, Lovelle, Puneet, and Amrit. While the first three work at a financial firm, it’s difficult to tell the work profile of Amrit. Always impeccably dressed, if not with her friends, she is with her boyfriend, who has just gone through a divorce. Noor is the loudest of the lot and wears her ‘Punjabiyat’ on her sleeves, which more often than not lands her into trouble. The six episodes deal with their love affairs, break-ups, office situations, and getting one-upmanship over their colleagues, apart from spending time at pool parties or chilling at Goa beaches.

The performances by the lead characters are extremely loud. Guess the makers got swept away by the stereotypes associated with Punjabis. Their performances make you cringe, and redemption moments are few and far between. Aasttha Ssidana as Noor disappoints and makes you wonder if Punjabis are only known for their loud manners and abuse. It’s a role that is full of stereotypes. Sukhmani Sadana has written the series and also plays the character of Lovelle and with a measured performance, she looks the part. Apoorva Arora as Punni is all moony throughout the series, and this at times gets on to your nerves. The fourth friend, Amrit is played by Poppy Jabbal, and it’s a performance that you cannot remember beyond ten minutes. Nonetheless, there are characters like Kaaju (Manik Singh) and Vasper Dandiwaala (Chaarudatt Sapra) who do leave an impression, but they appear in solitary episodes.
