“Udta Teer,” directed by Aakash Kaushik and starring Ayushmann Khurrana (with Sara Ali Khan), is described by multiple outlets as a spy comedy involving cross-border intrigue. Reviews focus on a central premise in which the protagonist disrupts a world of secrets after losing his memory and forgetting which nation he works for. Several critics cite comedic “errors” and parody-style elements as part of the film’s appeal.
While some outlets highlight audience-friendly energy and performances, others question the film’s writing or overall intelligence. The Hindu calls it a cross-border spy comedy that starts with promise but ultimately relies on simpler jokes. Scroll.in similarly characterizes it as low on general intelligence. In contrast, India Today frames it as a twisted patriotic comedy that wins over fans, and Free Press Journal spotlights Mukul Dev as the standout.
Across coverage, the differing emphasis is less about the plot and more about execution—whether the humour and character work land, and which performances drive the viewing experience.
