Show more >> Ugram is a film that tries to pack a punch with its intense storyline, but it sometimes feels like it’s trying too hard. The premise is intriguing—CI Shivakumar's desperate search for his missing family after a tragic accident sets the stage for a thrilling ride. However, the execution can be uneven. While some scenes are genuinely gripping, others drag on longer than necessary. The lead actor delivers a solid performance, portraying the emotional strain of his character convincingly. Yet, I found myself wishing for more depth in supporting roles. The film does have its moments of brilliance, especially in the emotional climax, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark consistently. If you’re in the mood for a suspenseful drama, Ugram has its merits, but it may not leave a lasting impression. Show less
